I feel like the brand actually rarely matters. Getting good brushes and knowing your skin-type is key. Always hydrate before you apply anything.

i think elf is actually a really good affordable brand for beginners. Also cushion foundations in my experience tend to be easier to use than regular foundation

elf is decent for drugstore level stuff! i used an elf eyeshadow palette for genuinely five years before i replaced it bc i broke two of the shadows and it was definitely expired. i grew up a ballet dancer and still perform often in college so i got to practice doing makeup for that pretty early on, and it was enough for me! i also like the nyx liquid eyeliners in different colors! they might take some more practice tho

Fenty Beauty and Haus Labs have never failed me

Their products always have such smooth application and long-lasting wear; I definitely recommend them when you know exactly what you want, since they can get pretty pricey.
