If you had to recommend one item in each makeup category to a beginner, what would it be?
Primer Eye: MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot. Trust me when I say I have tried all the primers I can get my hands on, and this is the only one that successfully creates a flawless base and makes my eyeshadows last.
Foundation Okay this one is tricky, but I'd have to go drugstore because I don't know any beginner that would immediately jump to my HG Chanel foundation right off the bat! I'd say Revlon Colourstay.
Concealer. NYX HD Concealer. Honestly this is my holy grail drugstore concealer and I absolutely adore it.
Setting Powder This is where I have to say go all out. I love the Urban Decay Loose Setting Powder (NAKED line). It's too amazing to mess with, and I think it's a good value for product.
Bronzer/Contour Now, I can only speak for fair folk such as myself (no circlejerk intended) but I love NYX Taupe for Contour. Considering I'm terrified of bronzer and looking like a dorito, I can't safely suggest a good bronzer as of yet.
Highlighter: MAC Mineralize Skinfinish all the way. It's a great way to get introduced to the highlighter world without having too much pigment to worry about abusing.
Blush MAC Mineralize Blush (NYX Baked Blush as a drugstore dupe). SO BEAUTIFUL! I can't.
Eyeshadow Urban Decay NAKED Basics Palette. It's a great start to creating a beautiful eye. The colours are mostly matte and blend really nicely.
Eyeliner For liquid, I would suggest NYX Collection Noir Liquid Eyeliner, and for pencil I would suggest an Urban Decay Perversion Eyeliner Pencil. Both are fantastic.
Mascara this is so tough. My first venture into mascara was with Rimmel, so I'd say start there.
Lipstick For the price point, NYX Lippies are FANTASTIC. No other comments needed.
Lipgloss NYX Butter Gloss. The only gloss I've been using lately. In love.
