Hey my dudes! I have been doing special effects makeup for almost 6 years now & decided to share what I used when I first started!
In my opinion the expensive products aren't always necessary when you are first starting SFX makeup. The most important part is experimenting, making mistakes, and being creative!
When I first started doing SFX makeup I mainly used toilet paper, liquid latex, dollar store eye shadows, & homemade fake blood. Honestly, some of those first looks are still my favorites to this day!
So get out there, grab that fake blood, and let those creative juices flow! If you have any questions leave a comment below & I will try to answer them to the best of my abilities!
Products I recommend...
Mehron Special Effects Makeup Kit (I received this kit for Christmas one year & I absolutely loved it! It has a bunch of different products so it was great when I was still figuring out what kinds of makeup I liked best!)

Mehron Bruise Wheel (Honestly matte eyeshadows work just as well)

Liquid Latex (It's best to try out several different brands & figure out which one you prefer. I personally don't see a difference in Mehron Liquid Latex vs. Cheap Liquid Latex you can get on amazon)

Spirit gum

Alcohol Activated Paints (I personally use the skin illustrator brand but there are a couple cheaper versions on amazon that work just as well.)

Fake Blood (I personally use Mehron stage blood and scab blood at the moment. But I have also used cheaper fake blood from amazon that worked just fine.)
