DRUGSTORE MAKEUP STARTER KIT... Best Stuff for Beginners

It wasn't long ago that I did need this, though. I'm old school but went without makeup for a LONG time while I was ill. I stopped when we still used applicators (no brushes) used our fingers to apply foundation (no sponges), etc. This is a perfect video for what I needed just 2 years ago when I needed to buy all new makeup and do it on the cheap. I know a LOT of people will find this informative. :)

Definitely interested in the profusion $5 palettes for a video! I feel like beauty KZbin has been leaning so heavily to reviews (which I understand because there’s so much new makeup), but this tutorial style video is such a breath of fresh air. I still love watching tutorial style videos and learning new techniques!

[@bluebug001]

I love my Profusion palettes! They don't crease, last a long time, and the colors are wonderful! I have a couple of the $5 ones and some of the bigger ones. I don't feel like they get near enough recognition.

[@lucyharper8228]

I enjoy the way you give instructions - "can you see how I just tapped into that product"... I imagine Belle is doing great with you helping with learning from home!

[@JoJoTinkRN]

I love that you created this basic yet utterly thorough, beginner friendly video! Some creators film these videos but bypass (or maybe just forget) steps or explanations; assuming that the viewer is already aware. Not Emily...you covered even the most minute of details; like pinpoint blending and choosing products that are beautiful but easy to apply and work with if you are a newbie. Even as someone who’s been applying makeup for...a long time..no reason to age myself (lol ) these videos are still helpful to me and I always learn at least 1 new tip and I definitely always learn about some fantastic product that I’ve never used or I’ve forgotten I had in my collection. Amazing, Girl!! Love it & Love you!! 💕

[@chelseamercer3825]

I've been into makeup hardcore for over 20 years but I still love my super simple basic and uncomplicated products for everyday. Having a little bag of foolproof basics helps me get ready when I don't have a lot of time Esspecially when I am travelling abroad and do not want to risk losing more pricey products. Love the product recommendations Emily!

[@anyonecancookwithhannah]

This is a great idea! Never thought of making a little bag of things that I’m constantly reaching for on busy days

So true! It would be foolish to try traveling with a Natasha Denona palette - too delicate. But, I can travel with my ELF eyeshadow palettes and Colourpop.

Off video topic, I want to say that I appreciate that you don’t have a crazy manicure.

What kind of gardening do you all do?

[@squeesplort]

@@earthangelbaby_ We are a community garden primarily growing organic vegetables for 12 local food banks. This year we’ve given them 11,000 pounds of veggies so far. Two years ago, the dementia daycare across the parking lot asked if we would grow flowers. They use them in weekly flower therapy sessions, making bouquets for shuts-ins getting meal delivery, and people in the hospital and rehab. It gives participants a sense of worth (no one else asks them, “Can you help?”), purpose, and meaning to their life. It’s non-verbal, so they aren’t groping for words. It is creative, multi-sensory, and satisfying. I took on the request, and thank goodness three other women joined me - we process approx 250 flowers a week from May to October.

[@earthangelbaby_]

@@squeesplort that's amazing!! i do backyard gardening myself, and always get excited when i meet another gardener.

[@squeesplort]

Mary Oseguera I bet your garden is gorgeous! Gardeners tend to be giving, helpful people! It's fun to compare notes and share plants. I learned the most through a course offered through the county Extension Office, the Master Gardener Certification program. Every state has one. Once you complete it, you give 40 hours of annual service to your community to maintain your certificate. Some people teach public classes, others write newspaper articles or answer questions at a Farmer's Market booth. I didn't even know my town had EIGHT community gardens that needed gardeners for charities until I took the course. Adult friendships can be hard to make, but the MG program introduced me to some truly lovely people.

[@faeriecrypt]

The Wet n Wild trios/quads and the old Maybelline quads that all have had instructions imprinted on the shadows helped me out so much when I was first getting into more “complicated” eye looks. Sure, one can do whatever look they like, but I learned the basics and traditional placements because of those imprints!

[@HelloKittysFriend418]

For a dropper foundation, I recommend dispensing some on the back of your hand first so you can control the amount that goes on your face! Especially when you’re trying a new product, its hard to gauge how much you really need when you’re dropping right onto your face.

The thing I love about your beginner picks is that you recommend great products that have beginner-level ease to them.

Beginners deserve great makeup products too, and I love that that philosophy is always apparent in your videos 😊

Thank you Emily for always showing that things dont have to be hard or upsetting when doing makeup...I've gotten far too caught up in looking too perfect that last 2 or 3 years. Im 27.

Once again, thank you for showing me that this should be fun and carefree. (However, thanks to quaratine I've worn makeup maybe 5 times in almost a year.

@andrea c. Also look into Wet-N-Wild brush sets or Elf has sets of brushes especially around the holidays at Walgreens in particular which are of high quality. Emily talks all the time about ELF brushes and uses the ELF ones more I believe in every video. Sometimes you can catch a 50% sale around November when they put their Christmas goodies out. I got a FANTASTIC $50 brush set from WNW for &25 one year about 10 excellent useable brushes. Same goes for ELF some sets as low as $10! Look at ELF’s website. I just saw some sets that were reasonably priced as is. You can’t beat that! Also sigma has sales on the brushes Emily uses that go on sale quite frequently. I have signed up to be notified by message on my phone when they are having brush sales. In fact I did just get a message from Sigma recently. Also Ulta has gifts sets too on brushes. The Real Techniques line of brushes that comes in stocking stuffer size or their regular line size and especially THEIR version of the “beauty blender” that’s orange is all I use. I am not spending $20 for the actual “beauty blender” sponge. I’ve had great luck with the orange one that around the Holidays, even comes with a case for travel to prevent mold & protect it. Shop MissA also has good brushes for a couple of dollars. I’ve found generic brush sets at like 5 below that I basically “fell into” that weren’t half bad. I’m basically a brush junkie and collect from all brands but ELF, WNW, and Real Techniques are my go to staples! Good luck hunting. There are some real drugstore gems and dupes for high end brushes out there. Best Wishes, Andrea! ❤️💜💄👄

We miss Pup! I would love to hear her perspective on makeup application as an artist. Even if it’s over the phone. Emily I’ll take your grounded goddess goodness vibe ‘erday’😉

Those are my go to foundations, drugstore or high end. I like to mix them for the perfect glow and coverage. The hydroboost is also one of my favorite concealers. I’m combo, but have dry under eyes. Couldn’t have picked a better base.

I’m not a beginner to make up or KZbin but this was SO informative, it was amazing! I feel like I’ve still picked up some tips and recommendations ☺️

[@yestine993]

I like watching your videos because I think you are such a genuine person. Yeah, been with you for a while now. I like the fact that what you said you like are actually the things you are using frequently, not just mentioning them for the sake of a video. Thanks so much, you have such a lovely personality. Hi from Indonesia! 👋

I’ve come back to this video many times. It’s so educational. From someone who doesn’t wear makeup often I need reminders. Lol. Love it!!

[@shannonkahermanes6080]

Video idea: a week of makeup looks using the sort of multi task face palettes like the California in a box palette you mention here. It’d be a good way to show off some super easy multi tasker looks!

[@susanlew1730]

Yes would love a video on profusion palettes

[@khairulnisaR]

I cannot wait for this year's EMILY AWARDS! Would you please add a new category this time? I really want to see you rank your BEST FACE PALETTE both drugstore and high end.

[@janellehowell2757]

I love that you can do super extreme looks but still do videos like this! You are such a gem to the youtube beauty world ♥️ I'm not a beginner but still very much enjoyed the video and the look you created!

[@Mary-gu3kx]

Thanks Emily for listing the products in the description 💄☺️

[@yasmine3.]

Knowing Emily soo well, I pretty much could cite these products before even watching the vid! You've taught us well Em, love you

I have been a makeup lover for the past 3 years and have learned so many tips from this video! I love the elf instant lift! I do agree about the elf setting mist for sure! My school’s bookstore has a standee of older elf makeup, and I picked up the refill of my brow pencil, the setting spray which I had tried in the past and liked, and the lip oil in the color pink kiss.

Is the Instant Lift an eye moisturizer or something else? I’m in my 60s, so could always use a lift on my face!!

[@roseatespoonbill234catherine]

@@LoveABun it is an eyebrow pencil from elf it is around $2 or $3 and is in white packaging 😃

[@1280ss]

Thank you, Thank you!!!! I needed this video as an almost 40 year old who is only now getting into using makeup. 😊

[@alexandragblessing]

Emily, I've been watching you since I was a teenager (now 23) and I purchased "Walking on Egg Shells" because of you as some of my first "big girl makeup". So it holds up! Thank you for making consistently wonderful content. Such a joy to see your family grow!

[@annalawson1004]

Late to comment, but walking on eggshells in all of its formats is still in my rotation to this day and I’m around the same age lol. I grab for it all the time! It is truly amazing.
