Must have make up in a makeup collection

If you are staring your makeup collection or just want to expand it, here are some must haves. The first must have for your makeup collection is:
1.For eyes: I have a medium size eye shadow pallet from elf (which is not that expensive and pretty reasonable.) The colors in it aren't that crazy like hot pink or neon green. It has colors that could be used everyday. The second thing that is in every girl's makeup bag is mascara. Mascara is great for making your eyes pop. You can get a good mascara from CVS or a drug store for about 6 or 7 dollars. *Important tip about mascara! After you dip your mascara wand in the bottle, take a paper towel and wipe the brush so you get rid of excess mascara. It helps prevent clumps in your eyelashes. Also if you get a eyelash comb and comb your eyelashes, it takes the clumps out. The final must have for eyes is eyeliner. There are 4 different types of liners: liquid, pencil, felt tip, and crayon. I use a pencil but most people use liquid because it's easier to use. A nice brown, dark blue, and black are good liner colors. The trick to using liner is not to go to heavy. It looks bad when you have too much liner. If you want a subtle look with a little touch of liner, take your liner and line your lower lash line on the outer corners of your eyes. It gives a nice effect.
2. For lips: Chap stick. I use chap stick as the base for some lipsticks and glosses. Healthy lips are hydrated lips! =) (USE A CHAP STICK THAT HAS SPF!) There aren't a ton of things you need for your lips. Just a light pink lipstick and maybe some gloss or lip shine.
3. For face: Concealer. Concealer is kind of the magic wand of the girl world. It hides imperfections and gives a flawless effect. The places where concealer is used the most is on acne, under the eyes where dark circles are, and around the nose (if you get redness around your nose like some people do). When you pick a concealer, pick one that doesn't match your exact skin tone. You pick one that is slightly lighter then it. Picking a concealer is tricky but if you look long enough and hard enough, you'll find it =). The last thing that is a must have for the face is blush. A dusty rose color (which is a light pink) is usually used and preferred by many girls including me. The two most popular types of blushes are: Powder (which is the most common) and mouse (which is what I use.) Mouse stays on better and it's just what I prefer but you can use what ever type you want. *NOTE: These products are just what are in the makeup bags of people I know and my self. You do not have to go out and buy all the products listed.
