Question

I am a college student and have never used makeup. Which items are basic and important?

Answer 1

Chapstick! x]

Mascara - opens up your eyes.

Concealer - covers up imperfections.

& other stuff that I don't really bother with.

I don't have much experience with makeup either. (>__<)

i think these will do:

lip balm - if you dont want lipstick

lip gloss

eyeliner - place it on the side of your eyes (below)

cheek tint

foundation

concealer

goodluck :)  

Answer 3
