Building my makeup collection?

i am trying to build a well rounded makeup collection, i am a cosmetology student right now and when i shop for makeup i feel like i buy eyeshadow colors i already have or colors i never use. what are some good basic colors that i should make sure i have? what are your favorites?





also who do you think makes the best brushes?Building my makeup collection?
I dabble in makeup as well as a hair stylist and the best thing I can recommend is go for the multi-tasking crushed pigment minerals because you can use them as ANYTHING .. they can be mixed they can be used wet dry with different bases to create anything you might need.. so versatile.





I think you definitely need a variety of your warm neutral earth tone colors Think all the colors of the land and sky .


Think about what sort of makeup you are mostly going to be doing and start there..


Pinkish colors are a must.. Blacks and silvers and grays ... some that in the gold family to highlight with ....Wines and plum colors.





Then you can get some more funky colors to play around with if you like such as some bright greens, pinks, orange, purple yellow and blue.





On some things a good brush really makes a difference.. I got all of my brushes at a hair show (you said you were a cosmetology student get yourself to a hair show and takes money ... lots of great deals that is where i bought my mineral makeup i was talking about and got a super deal on it) But the company i got all mine from have a website www.choicebrush.com little more expensive than what i paid for but they are nice brushes





There is also a youtube video of a guy who compares Mac brushes to paint brushes

i love collecting makeup as well and the ones i generally use the most is my creams and goldens and taupes but i guess it all depends on your eye color and what suits you.as for the brushes i have all of the mac brushes and i love them!! also the body shop has amazing ones that i also adore.the really good ones can be pricey but totally worth it!good luck %26lt;3
Heres what you should have;





foundation. - two tones deeper than your skin colour.


or


tinted moisturizer.





eyeshadows - the colour of your eye, or colour of your hair.


these blend in well and look great.





mascara - black %26amp; clear.
