I adore makeup and it's definitely my true passion. I've been doing makeup for people (mostly people that are my friends lol) for sometime but I don't have a real kit. I use my personal palettes on people but I want to expand my kit so that I don't need to use my personal stuff on people. What are the essentials and what brands should I go for? Thank you sooo much! xox

One of the first things I bought for my kit was primers (face/eye/lip) and a complete brush set. Also about 3 foundations (light, med, dark) u can pretty much mix whatever shade you need from those.

go for reasonble priced brands. u dnt need expensive make up. its all.about the way u apply it not what u use.
dnt go for something u cnt afford to keep re purchasing as u will.need to keep re stocking ur kit.

Coastal Scents, BH Cosmetics

Eyeshadow palette for coastal scents or BH Cosmetics, a set of brushes, a few different coloured foundation from light to dark so you can mix and match, disposable mascara wands are super important (never double dip), brown/black eyeliners to start, a few different coloured lipsticks, clear gloss, a few different blushes, a couple of bronzers. I say start cheap of course but the first thing you should invest in are really good brushes. You can have the cheapest eyeshadows ever but if you have a good primer and good brushes it will always come out amazing. Hope this helped.
