ok, so theres an overview 2 start u off on cosmetics... of course itll grow from there and trust me, once u love cosmetics, ur collection grows super super fast!
some good places, ( besides ur drugstore) 2 look at cosmetics are
sephora
ulta
cherryculture.com
rmk cosmetics
nyx cosmetics ( but cherryculture sells them cheaper)
e.l.f cosmetics
thats just a few places 2 look...
also some other things u might wanna buy are.. some oil blotting sheets, or just kleenex 2 absorb oil... and as far as brushes..
you can buy all ur brushes at coastalscents.com theyre cheap and good quality u should have
~foundation brush ( i luv the stippling brush)
~concealer brush
~powder brush (they have a large paddle one, but it might b 2 big for mineral ~foundation application, but wonderful for setting powder, so u could get this one and a smaller powder brush)
~blush brush
~contour brush( basically a brush brush, it helps if its either angled or tapered)
~small eyeshadow brush
~large eyeshadow brush or blending brush
~pencil brush
~if possible a 2nd eyeshadow brush if ur gonna b working with alot of different shades of shadow
~a lip brush
thats about all u need 2 started, yea it seems like alot... but if ud put a litle bit of money back each week, in a months time (maybe less) ud have plenty of money 2 start off ur collection :)
