1. What are the essential makeup tools and brushes I should have in my kit?
We have got a great starter set available in our
store. When you're on the hunt for your perfect set, remember, it's all about covering each step of your makeup routine. You want those brushes that can take you from creating that flawless base to defining brows, enhancing eyes, adding a pop of color to lips, and sculpting cheeks. It sounds obvious, but not every kit out there caters to all these essential steps.
2. How do I determine the right foundation shade for different skin tones?
Determining the right foundation shade is all about understanding undertones, swatching, embracing natural light, and being open to a touch of mixing.
