At least ten shades of concealer
At least fifteen shades of foundation in a variety of formulas
Four to five shades of tinted moisturizer
Six shades of loose powder (from white, for use on porcelain skin, to dark brown)
Mix-in pigments— yellow, black, red, blue — are a help to correct wrong color foundation.BLUSH
A complete kit includes a full range of blush in both neutrals and brighter shades in powder, cream, gel, and shimmer formulas, and a range of bronzers. Blushes are
also used as eye shadow to achieve bright color in magazine work. It’s also possible to mix a blush with clear lip balm for an extreme effect.
Six to eight shades of powder blush, from soft neutrals to brights
Five shades of cream blush (can be placed in a palette)
Two to three shades of gel blush
Four shades of bronzing powder
Five shades of shimmer blush or bronzer
EYES
Include a wide variety of eye shadows in a range of colors and formulas, with pencils, brow pencils, and mascaras. The best way to arrange the shadows is in
specially made palettes that have slots for the eye shadow containers. Arrange each palette by shade family, and label the palettes accordingly, so you can see at a
glance which one you need. Making separate palettes for brights, shimmers, neutrals, and liners will help keep the kit organized.
Make sure you have all of your makeup tools, and don’t forget to include cotton swabs or a non-oily eye makeup remover as well as a waterproof one. It’s
always better to be overprepared, than underprepared.
