I am completely DELIGHTED about this post!
I’ve been wanting to do a basic kit that would be versatile enough to use for most {if not all} of the makeup looks any gal would want to create.

I labored back and forth for WEEKS on it.
(If you don’t believe me you can ask the Sephora Employees who turned a blind eye to my son turning lip glosses into kamakazi airplanes and me gathering all of the eyeshadow palettes in the store for a, very competitive, beauty pageant.)

Best part is the rest of this week I am going to use this kit to create some of my all time favorite looks.
Each one of them will look beautiful on pretty much ANYONE and come with a video tutorial! You will be amazed when you see how many different looks we can get out of one kit.

I know this is super exciting, but before you race off to your nearest makeup supplier {and I end up getting an angry phone call from your husband }  Know this: these brands are only my suggestions, if you already have a bronzer or a black eyeliner there is NO need to go out and get another one unless you are unhappy with it. Also, I didn’t add foundation to the list because I feel like it is too personal of an item, but I did post about it recently so for help on that {click here}
You will also need to apply all of this with something so:
