Make-Up Starter Kits for Aspiring Beginners!


This is way different from the $20 Make-Up Challenge, this kit is for a beginner make-up artist.

The $20 Make-Up Challenge is basically for younger pre-teens and teens, to give them an idea that you don’t have to buy expensive make-up; cheap make-up works just as well, especially if you’re on a budget and don’t know what to get.

That’s why these videos are made on YouTube as well as the beginning make-up artists who are creating their own kits.

Please keep in mind that you don’t have to get the same products that I have in my kit, this just gives the artist an idea on what to have in his/her kit nor do you have to get everything that I have listed; you could get one item each from what I have listed down below.

I will give a list of products that I have collected over the years to make this beginning starter kit for you guys. Now remember, in this kit, I do have expensive and cheap products and they both work very well. If you can’t buy the expensive products that I am going to mention, then there is a cheap alternative that you can afford. 

Here are some examples to both cheap and expensive products. 

Cheap: Aziza (Which is the 99 cent only store make-up brand), E.L.F, NYC, Wet N Wild, Maybelline, CoverGirl, Revlon, and Rimmel London. 

Expensive: NYX, Mary Kay, Physicians Formula, Ulta and Urban Decay.

The products that I mentioned are my cheap drug store brands and expensive department store brands. Remember, you don’t have to buy the expensive products just to fit in with the popular crowd. 

Drug store products work just as well, sometimes even better than the expensive products; even the popular crowd uses the drug store products but won’t admit to it.

NOTE: If you want me to do a skin care day and night régime as well as hair, please let me know. Thank You!

To kick things off, there is everything that your gonna need in your kit; you can substitute a product for something else that’s just like it or get a product that best suits your needs and/or your clients.
