There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but iconic brands are a good place to start. NARS is loved for its artist-worthy formulas and viral hues, while Charlotte Tilbury is crowned the 'Queen of Glow' for good reason. Rare Beauty enhances natural beauty, Glossier masters minimalism and for the ultimate luxury, Hourglass is one to reach for.
You can use as many steps as you like to create your desired look. A makeup bag can be narrowed down to 10 steps: primer, foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, blush, highlighter, eyeshadow, mascara and lip colour.
Start with hydrated skin and build your base with foundation and concealers first to match your skin type and tone, then layer colour and definition with bronzers and blush. Blend well with brushes and work in natural light to ensure even application.
