Why these picks work for beginners

Each product here has two things in common: they're foolproof and multi-use. For those still building skills, having items that work for more than one purpose makes experimenting easier and less intimidating. Many are lip products that moonlight as cream shadows or bases, while compacts and concealers prepare the skin for a smooth finish.

Building an eye makeup kit doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. With smart, multi-tasking products like these, beginners can create stunning looks without feeling overwhelmed. From shimmery palettes to clever concealer pens, these picks prove that great results come from the right tools, not just professional hands. Shop now on Myntra.
