Choose makeup and tools to suit your routine
A makeup kit is a practical starting point when you want to experiment with colours across your eyes, lips and face. If you already have favourite shades, a focused palette or a brush chosen for a particular task can be a more useful addition. This collection brings together makeup sets, colour palettes and application tools for everyday looks, special occasions and a kit that feels personal to you.
Find the right format
- Makeup kits for a coordinated routine: Sets such as the Miss Young makeup boxes bring together products for eyes, lips and face. Choose this format if you enjoy trying complete looks or want several makeup essentials together in a practical box.
- Colour palettes for experimenting: A palette gives you room to move between familiar shades and something bolder. The Miss Young Makeup Palette Set includes eyeshadows, lip glosses and blushes, while the Miss Rose Blockbuster kit offers a broad selection of eyeshadow colours, from neutrals to brighter tones.
- Brush sets for building your toolkit: A broader brush set makes sense when you want different shapes for different parts of your routine. The Technique PRO Oval Brushes set offers dense, soft fibres and a range of brush sizes, while the Blooming set pairs soft synthetic brushes with a cup case.
- Focused brushes for greater control: Choose a dedicated foundation brush, eye brush set or lip applicator when one part of your makeup needs more attention. Eye and brow sets suit detailed work, while individual face brushes let you add the shape you need without replacing your whole toolkit.
- Travel brushes for a compact routine: The Technique PRO Travel Makeup Brush Set includes a mirror and brushes for foundation, powder, eyeshadow and lips. It is a useful choice when you want a smaller selection of tools for getting ready away from home.
Match the brush shape to the job
For foundation, the flat, wide shape of the Technique PRO Glazing Foundation Brush helps you work towards an even base. For powder, bronzer and highlighter, the Large Fan Brush offers a different approach, with a shape suited to sweeping product across the face. Choose an eye brush set when blending eyeshadow or defining eyeliner and brows is your priority.
Lip tools are worth considering if you like a carefully defined outline. The Technique PRO Dual Lip Applicator supports both outlining and filling in, while the Silicone Lip & Concealer Brush has a soft silicone tip for controlled application of lip products and concealer.
Brush materials also vary between sets. The Technique PRO Blooming brushes use synthetic hairs, while the Technique PRO 32 piece set includes brushes made with goat hair and others with synthetic fibres. These are specific options within the range, so you can choose the set that suits your preferences.
Add a tool for custom colour mixing
If you enjoy creating your own shades, the Technique PRO Stainless Steel Makeup Mixing Palette with Spatula provides a separate surface for blending foundations, concealers, lipsticks and pigments. It serves a different purpose from a colour palette: one holds ready to use shades, while the mixing palette lets you combine products yourself.
Frequently asked questions
What order should I apply face makeup in?
Start with primer, then apply foundation and concealer. Blend your base before adding cream contour or blush, then set with powder. Powder bronzer, blush and highlighter can follow to add colour and dimension.
How can I help my makeup stay in place?
Use a primer suited to your skin type before applying your base, then set it with powder. Loose powder can help reduce concealer creasing, while a setting spray helps finish the look and soften a powdery appearance.
Do I need a lip liner if I already use lipstick?
No, but a lip liner is useful when you want a more defined outline or help keeping colour within the lip line. You can also fill in your lips with liner before applying lipstick to give the colour a base.
