Beginner’s Makeup Checklist: The Essentials You Need to Build Your First Makeup Bag
Makeup can feel overwhelming when you are starting out, especially with so many trends and products competing for attention. I have found that a simple, reliable makeup bag is better than buying products that may never get used. For a solid beginner routine, start with primer, foundation or skin tint, concealer, powder, bronzer, blush, eyeshadow, lip products, mascara and basic eyebrow products. Setting spray can help your look last longer, particularly in Nigeria’s hot weather. You also do not need a large brush collection. A makeup sponge or foundation brush, powder brush, blush brush, powder puff and brow spoolie are enough to begin. Focus on products that suit your skin type and tone, then practise until you find the looks that work best for you.
