PRIMER
Bare Mineral’s Prime Time: Not exactly upscale however it’s silicone texture helps to fill in fine lines and wrinkles while adding a longer wear time to your makeup, it’s just as effective as other primers on the market for twice it’s price.
FOUNDATION
Chanel’s Vita Lumiere Aqua: you’ve probably heard of this foundation before, thanks to it’s natural yet full coverage with a velvety skin-like texture, this is my all time favorite high-end foundation! Made with half water, this is the most natural looking foundation I’ve tried thus far. It covers scars magically however, because of it’s light weight finish, it doesn’t cover texture. For acne prone skin I recommend Makeup Forever Foundation.

LIPS
Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick: The ultimate lipstick in luxury, the packaging and formula is so smooth and pigmented. Go ahead and treat yourself!

Urban Decay Naked Palette 3: My favorite palette out of all of the Naked’s, I prefer the warm tones in this addition. Plus, you get more for your money by purchasing a palette over the individuals when you’re first starting out!
Did I miss any essentials you recommend in a high-end makeup starter kit? Leave it in a comment bellow!
I definitely have my eye on that Urban Decay Naked palette! These are really great products, lovely post!

I love naked and naked 2. Naked 3 has too many rosy shades for my style. :/

What a good choice of high end products! I’m using Lift Lumiere by Chanel, but when it finishes I’d like to give a try to Vitalumiere Aqua. I’ve heard so may good things about it, it makes me feel like it’s better than mine :)) I’d add Double Wear concealer by Estee Lauder to your list, it gives a good coverage and stays well on oily skin. It’s one of my favorites! 🙂

Too each his own! All of the Naked’s are great! 🙂

I’ve never tried the Double Wear products but I hear the foundation is AMAZE for full coverage, I should try the concealer next!
I think the two foundation’s are completely different coverage so its all personal preference! Thanks for the suggestions!

I agree, it’s the best foundation for perfect looking natural skin! Thanks for the lovely comment!
