People who are just beginning to experiment with cosmetics might find themselves feeling a little unwilling to splurge on big beauty brands. Sure, they’re of great quality, but are they right for you? If you’re looking for makeup to play around with, check out these eight brands that are perfect for beginners!
Maybelline is a great brand for beauty beginners. If you’re running short on time and need to pop into your local chemist for some mascara, then look for this brand! They have some of the best eyelash-enhancing mascaras beauty brands offer. Some of their cosmetics, such as the effective LashSensation, are also waterproof, so you won’t have to worry about ruining your makeup after watching a sad movie!
If you’re looking for beauty brands that offer cheap, but useful, cosmetics, then Rimmel is perfect for you! This brand offers great foundations and concealers to keep your skin looking smooth. Try out their translucent powder for a finishing touch on your face. Like Maybelline, you can easily find Rimmel’s products on the shelves at your local chemist. So, don’t be a stranger!
Compared to MAC cosmetics, Napoleon has a slightly lighter touch when it comes to application. They offer really strong eyeliners to make your irises pop, and have a great range of lipsticks and lipliners that you should definitely take a look at. Napoleon are also a great company to book an appointment with if you have a big event coming up. They will avidly listen to how you want your skin to look, and will also encourage you to purchase the products that they use on you. This means that you’ll have a few great products up your sleeve for future events!
Many budding beauty gurus search for cheap products. Though Kate Moss’ beauty line falls into this category, her products are invaluable. If you’re looking for a little blush to liven up your skin, you can purchase a three-in-one product, with shades ranging from a very light pink do a darker rose colour. This three-in-one product also applies to contours and highlighters, so that you don’t have to spend more money or go out of your way to purchase each item individually. Kate Moss is also a great beauty brand to source lipsticks from, so if you’re after a bold red lip for your night out in town, then this is the brand to purchase it from!
Some beauty brands are known for being bold and dramatic. Bobbi Brown, on the other hand, is praised for the natural appearances that its soft shades create. These cosmetics are quite subtle, and are perfect for daily use. They will add a little more vigour and life to your skin without overwhelming your pores with product. So, if you’re looking for a brand that will make you look like you aren’t wearing makeup at all, this one is perfect for you!
If you couldn’t guess it from the title, this beauty brand is obsessed with fun and vibrant colours! Their great range of lipsticks and lipglosses means that you will never run out of different shades to try on and show-off. ColourPop also love to collaborate with popular beauty gurus, so look out for new and limited edition palettes. If you’re a lover of vibrant and sparkly eyeshadows, this is definitely the brand for you!
Do you ever just want to swipe on some lipgloss and dash on a little concealer before you head out to meet with your friends? NYX is the perfect brand for this. With its cheap products, you won’t be put out of pocket by indulging in some of their eye and lip products. Sometimes, all you need is a little pop of colour to feel ready to start the day!
Oftentimes, you’ll come across beauty brands that lack quality. Benefit is definitely an exception here! Their little stores are packed with amazing products. Known greatly for their brow products, this brand has you covered for shaping and filling in those pesky little hairs. They also offer services to ‘clean up’ your eyebrows! Expect to spend a little more on products here than at the other brands we have mentioned, but don’t stress! Benefit is definitely worth the investment.
