Create any makeup look by only having total 5 cosmetics / makeup on a budget

Will you believe if I say that you can create any look by using only 5 essential makeup products? Absolutely yes! From everyday makeup to crazy James Charles looks!

Lipstick, Lip gloss(clear), Mascara, Foundation, Eyeshadow

I started experimenting with makeup, when I was 15! My mom isn’t that much interested in makeup, so I only had an eye shadow palette and a lipstick to play with. So I taught all these techniques to myself at that time, by getting experienced.

These products can be used in different ways to fulfill every makeup need! These makeup products can be used as a lipstick, eye shadow, blush, highlighter, bronzer or any other makeup product.

1) 2 Lipsticks (minimum)

To do the magic, we want,

lipstick / lipsticks + white lipstick(or any color similar to white) / Black lipstick(or any color similar to black) / both black and white lipstick.

Always buy matte lipstick because if you want a shimmery, glossy look, you can wear a lip gloss over matte lipstick.

Apply your favorite color at first. Then add a bit of black or white. But remember not to add too much black. Best way is to apply a little, blend and repeat until you get to the color you like.

Also, to make it even affordable, you can buy a black lipstick, and a light colored lipstick of your choice. In that case, you will not need white lipstick to make that color darker.

If you have more different lipsticks, you can create new colors by mixing them!

Lipstick can be used as,

· Blush

· Eye Shadow

2) Eye shadow

Spending a little more on eye shadow can make your makeup bag affordable. Eye shadow can be used as an alternative for a lot of makeup products. So, it’s good to have eye shadow in lot more diverse colors!

The best example for that kind of palette is James Charles x Morphe brushes Eye shadow palette. You can find a cheaper but high quality product from an Asian makeup brand.

Eye shadow can be used as,

· Bronzer

· Blush

· Highlight

· Eyeliner

So, when you have a big palette, you don’t need any of the above products.

3) Clear Lip gloss

Clear Lip gloss can make any matte lip glossy or glossy lip, glossier! Also it can be used as a highlight. Lip gloss gives a moisturized looking shine. Can be worn as an eye shadow but only on top of your eyelid. Since lip gloss doesn’t dry easily, wearing it on eyelid can mess up the makeup.

In conclusion,

To experiment /recreate any look, we need,

MINIMUM :

· 2 Lipsticks

· A clear lip gloss

· An eyeshadow palatte

· Foundation

· A mascara
