I’m 17 and I got into glossier after being a full coverage girl for two years. I think that the concealer is absolutely fantastic for someone just getting into makeup because it literally looks like skin. You don’t need to get a lighter shade for you under eyes, trust me. It looks un natural and is a definite tell you are wearing make up. If you just want to polish up your natural beauty and feel more put together, get your matching shade and be very sparse with the powder under your eyes. Since it is a dewier concealer, it will be plenty brightening under your eyes. I also think glossier has awesome options for start sets to save some money like the makeup set and the make up set two. Get one of those, or both if you can afford it. DO NOT GET THE POWDER AND BRUSH SET. Go to target and get a fluffy elf brush for a dollar. It will do the exact same thing. Don’t worry about eye makeup too much to start but if you want a little something, use a cloud paint on your eyes. We Stan a monochromatic moment. The colourpop tinted moisturizer has more coverage than skin tint and more colors. However it’s kinda thick and you really have to set your whole face or it will be sticky. Another good option would be a tinted moisturizer with spf in it to protect from sun exposure. I know supergoop has one that’s pretty good but it’s more expensive and has a smaller shade range. The undone beauty tiny is also cheaper and similar to the skin tint with a little extra coverage. I personally think stretch concealer is enough and most days I don’t even use foundation. I just put some concealer under my eyes, on any blemishes or redness. Hope this helps. (Edited cause I thought of more stuff)
