Every girl loves her share of makeup. Some start young, some started yesterday, but the real question is where do I start? Which foundation is the best? Which shade is my shade? We all go through these countless questions. We watch a gazillion Youtube videos, but we still don’t find the perfect how-to in starting our makeup. Well, first things first, whether you’re a beginner or an expert, everyone needs a cheap drugstore makeup kit, and we’re here to get you’re started!
