A primer is the first step for applying makeup. It acts as a base for the rest of the stuff to be applied on the face. If you think that investing in a primer is a lot of expense, you can totally use a hydrating moisturizer instead of a primer. Just let it absorb for a few minutes before you begin with your makeup.

2. A BB or CC Cream

Both these products have very subtle differences. A BB cream is a beauty benefit cream, and it’s like a light foundation with some SPF and moisturizing benefits. And a CC cream is a color correcting cream. It handles some slight discoloration or redness on the face. They’re very suitable to have as everyday basics, depending on the type of need.

3. Kohl (Kajal)

This setting is essential, in order to ensure that the makeup doesn’t rub off easily, or look too shiny. It is usually a bit too expensive. One can even opt for baby powder as an alternative to this one.
