Gleaming Looks

Primer
Primers tend to go overlooked, especially by makeup newbies, but it's definitely one that your makeup kit should never be without. Think of it as Photoshop for your skin. It smooths out your complexion by filling in large pores, lines and other blemishes, leaving you with a flawless and even base to ensure your makeup application is a breeze.

KABUKI BRUSH

The most versatile makeup brush there is! Use it to apply body tanner and shimmer, or face powder, bronzer, and blush!/The flat top and voluminous bristles evenly spread product across your face without looking too cakey, and also work for blending out larger areas.

Neutral Eyeshadow Palette

No makeup kit is ever complete without a neutral eyeshadow palette that can take your look from day to night. Taupes, bronzes, browns and cream-colored shadows are not only great for all eye colors and skin tones, but also for creating natural, barely-there daytime looks and nighttime makeup that's both subtle and glam.

Loose Powder The foundation and concealer are usually the first makeup products that are applied to the face. After you have done this, it always helps to set these products in place with a loose powder. This not only makes the rest of your makeup easier to apply, but will also help your foundation and concealer to last for so much longer.
