Makeup kit
If a girl often buys makeup products, sooner or later the cosmetic bag swells to indecent sizes and it becomes very difficult to find the necessary shade of lipstick or shadow in it. The problem can be solved by a makeup kit - all the necessary tools will be in one large palette.
What it is?
A makeup kit is a compact palette, in which lipsticks, eye shadows, rouge, concealers, powders and tonal means are conveniently hidden. Depending on the price and brand, the content can be very diverse - there may even be brushes inside.
Makeup kit can be quite small - 3-4 shades of lipstick, blush and eye shadow, and can be multi-tiered, with additional retractable palettes. Such sets are called multifunctional.
Also makeup kits are:
- Separate palette shadows or lipstick. This group includes sets of color concealers. Some manufacturers produce themed sets, for example, rouge, highlighter and bronzer - i.e. all to shape the face.
- Travel cosmetics kits, which include several funds for each day in miniatures.
- Promotional sets for consultants and retailers - for example, Mary Kay starter kit.
Features and benefits
A makeup kit is a perfect gift for yourself or a friend, especially if a girl really loves to do make-up and prefers variety. For those who buy a lot of cosmetics, the acquisition of the set will be a good investment, because individually it will be much more expensive to buy each product.
If the set is small, usually shades in it are combined with each other. For example, a palette of 8-12 colors of shadows usually has a certain color direction - pink shades, nude, lilac-blue, brown-beige. They can be safely mixed in any combination.
If the set is large, then the run-up of colors in it can be so diverse that it can only be figured out that it can only be combined with a professional makeup artist.
Kinds
Multifunctional basic makeup kit may be small. But he must contain the most basic things:
- Several brushes - at least for tonal means, powder, shadows and blush.
- 2-3 shades concealers (pink, salmon, green - the most running).
- 2-3 shades of tonal means - one of them is suitable in winter, the other - for the summer, when the skin is covered with tan.
- Several basic shades of eye shadow, preferably in a beige-brown gamma, suitable for your color type.
- 3-4 shades of lipstick, close to the natural shade of the lips.
- Fixing powder.
- Blush - 2-3 shades for different season and time of day.
Such a minimum set will fit perfectly into a small box with a pair of retractable palettes. You will need to purchase mascara, eyebrow make-up products, eye pencils and eyeliner, as well as means for sculpting the face and making it shine - bronzer and highlighter (or at least one thing).
Of course, the cost of recruiting is rather big, but if you consider how much money you immediately acquire, it turns out to be quite budget.
A large set of useful professional makeup artist, or, as an option - this beauty, "maniac". These are large folding palettes, including a full cosmetic arsenal. In addition to the widest selection of decorative cosmetics, there is a place for pencils, carcasses, sponges and brushes.

How to use?
The most important thing is to perfectly match the colors. Then the set really comes in handy. It is worth making a list of cosmetics that you need and planning a purchase, based on this.
Most of the sets inside are not too high quality brushes, so it is best to purchase them additionally.
Be sure to pay attention to the shelf life of the pallet after it has been opened - since all the means in it are actually in the open form, bacteria multiply very quickly in them.
Makeup artists secrets
To make a set of cosmetics "worked" by 100%, experts recommend to analyze what makeup you do most often and what means you need for this. Not every girl needs a big professional set - most of the funds in it simply will not be used.
Be sure to pay attention to how the colors inside the palette are grouped: most often the manufacturer does this with a meaning: i.e. adjacent shades of shadows are well combined with each other on the eyelid, and gloss and blush next to them will best complement the image.
However, it is best to have your own ideas about competent make-up, because no one can fully know what is right for you.
Experiment boldly - pallets are created just for this!
