5 Starter Kits for Aspiring Makeup Artists

Shany The Mini Masterpiece 7 Layers All In One Makeup Set in Original

For an Amazon Prime-approved option that’s roughly $50, check out this makeup set from Shany. The seven-layer kit contains four layers of eyeshadows, one layer of blush, one layer of concealer and one layer of lipstick. The best part is each of the seven palettes are removable for convenience. If you’re all set on eyeshadow, there’s also a six-part foundation and contour palette option, too.

Charlotte Tilbury The Dolce Vita Makeup Look Gift Set

It’s no secret that Charlotte Tilbury is a luxe beauty brand. Though the price tag is oftentimes steep, the products are high quality and reliable. Each CT Look in a Box kit contains the essentials needed to bring a specific makeup look to life. We love The Dolce Vita option for creating a copper and, bronze eye look.

You have a choice of the Starlight Sparkle Collection and the Starlight Sparkle Glam, which are made up of different products perfect for matching to your makeup personality.

Temptu Air SilkSphere Custom Essentials Kit

If you want to learn how to achieve perfectly airbrushed skin, Temptu is a device worth looking into. At $275, this kit is on the pricier side, but the flawless, lightweight-yet-full-coverage look is stellar. Loved by beauty bloggers and makeup artists alike, it will help you complete your whole makeup look, including foundation, blush and even highlighter.
