Building My Ideal Capsule Makeup Collection: Starter Products

Hi everyone! I’ve recently embarked on a journey to create a capsule makeup collection that’s practical and versatile, particularly for my oily skin and warm tan tone. After a little shopping spree, I wanted to share my initial haul and the reasons behind my choices.

To start, I picked up a lightweight foundation that offers a matte finish without feeling heavy on the skin. It’s essential for me to find something that controls shine without clogging my pores. I also found a gel moisturizer to keep my skin hydrated without adding extra oil—definitely a balancing act!

For my eyes, I chose a neutral palette that works well for both casual outings and evenings out. I love that it features a combination of matte and shimmer shades, giving me plenty of options without the need for countless products. And of course, I included a reliable setting spray to ensure my makeup stays in place all day.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts! What essentials do you consider for a capsule makeup collection? Any tips for maintaining a fresh and radiant look with oily skin? Let’s discuss!
