I,m 16 and I am not very good at applying makeup!?

Question

I,m 16 and I do wear make up ,but i am not very good at it !My mum never encouraged me to wear makeup I just started wearing it because people at school do and all my friends wear makeup!

I dont wear it that often because it does not look very good on me because i dont know how to apply it properly! I normaly wear foundation and a bit of mascara and lip gloss.wearing eyeliner makes my eyes sting,well so does mascara and eyeshadow lol

I want to try and change my the way i look because not many people like me at school especially boys!! Maybe because i am mildly disabled but i can still walk really well and i didn't make a good impression when i started secondary school and i have always been unpopular!!All my friends look so good with makeup so i thought i would start wearing it properly!

basicly i want to know what are the best things to buy etc !! thanks (:

Answer 1

go on youtube and look this up

they have tons of videos on how to put on make up

and in the styles you want it!

and its a visual so you dont have to do step by step without seeing how its done

Answer 2

Go to a department store or Sephora (if you have one around you) you may have to make an appointment with the make up counter. So anyway go have one of the ladies at the make up counter show you the proper way to do your make up. They do those things all the time, most of the time you have to buy at least one item they showed you or used on your face.  So make sure you have some money. My advise is to buy your powder or foundation from the department store. You can always buy some lip gloss or masscarra from a drug store for cheap, but your powder or foundation is best to buy from the make up counter because they found your perfect match for your skin tone.  Sometimes they give you free stuff like eyeshadow and moisterizer.

Answer 3

Okay, first things first! Foundation! Are you wearing the correct shade? If you're wearing the correct shade of foundation then it should be the same colour as your neck. If you can see a visible line where your foundation ends and your neck begins, then you're wearing the wrong shade.

Next, buy some sponge applicators (you can get these from most stores) and use these to get a sleek, flawless application. Using your fingers can create streaks and make your face look patchy!

After applying foundation make sure you use a large powder brush to apply powder. This will keep your make up in place all day! :)

Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks. Look in the mirror and smile, look at your cheek bones... this is where you apply the blush.

Eyes! Use an eyelash curler before applying mascara, this will ensure your eyelashes are super long and curly! Never ever apply a coat of mascara after the first coat has dried, this will make your eyes look like spiders legs!

Maybe these products are making your eyes sting because you haven't applied them properly...? Or it could be a reaction to the brand you are using... try a different brand. Only use minimal amounts of eyeliner on the upper lid. Be careful not to rub your eyes during the day. Vaseline can work as a shimmer for your eye if you keep experiencing problems with eyeshadow.

Good luck :)

if you get pimples orr brreakouts then you need to find a good facial cleanserr. healthy skin makes makeup easierr. minerral foundation is the best forr yourr skin and tends to look morre naturral. liquid foundations can clump and look caked on. mascarra and eyelinerr depend on yourr hairr color. if you have black hairr use black, darrk brrown hairr: brrown black, blonde hairr: brrown... etc. get the eyelinerr wherre you can turrn it to sharrpen...much easierr than pencil and liquid is just a hassle. forr eyeshadow using the rright colorr can make yourr eyes pop. if you have blue eyes use brrown shadows, brown eyes: blue shadows (darrkerr only this isnt the eighties!!) and grren eyes can basically wearr any color but plum shades make them pop. as forr yourr lips, dont go overrboarrd. a light pink gloss is grreat and makes you look prretty.

tips:

trry not to use too much makeup, if you look naturral it can brring out yourr beauty thrrough yourr featurres

if eyemakeup makes yourr eyes itch than trry using a lighter brand...also you can take a moisturrizing chap stick and rrub it on yourr eyelids and yourr waterr line (like yourr putting on eyelinerr) it will keep them frrom itching and keep yourr makeup on too.

always use a finishing powderr to make yourr make up last longerr.

an eyelash currlerr can help make yourr eyelashes look longerr and all togetherr betterr. if you have clumps buy an eyelash brrush.

eitherr pluck yourr eyebrrows orr get them done. if you havent done them beforre then dont trry to!!! get prrofessional help. plucking is betterr than waxing and they can show you how to do it.

brrands:almay definitley worrks forr eye makeup and is derrmatologist tested so it shouldnt make yourr eyes itch

barre minerrals is one of the best minerral makeups on the marrket.

neutrrogena is a rreally good cleanser

i hope this helped...good luck!!

:]

I'm 23 and I still don't think I'm good at makeup except 1 look - bare minerals foundation, black liquid eyeliner on the top, bronzer and nude lipstick. You will just have to experiment and practice. If eyeliner makes your eyes sting you're either applying it wrong or it's smudging into your eyes. I use Rimmel London professional liquid or kohl pencil eyeliner and it doesn't smudge on me and it easier to apply. A good blush/bronzer really helps. I would suggest a bronzer over a blush unless you have very fair skin. Basically you can just take a puffy brush and apply it like a 3. Temples, cheeks, side of chin but apply it lightly. Also Max Factor MAXwear in cinnamon & sugar is a favorite of a lot of people because it wears really well throughout the day and it's a gorgeous color.  

Answer 6

if make-up is making your eyes sting, then it may be out of date or cheap make-up. i would suggest buying from some expensive brands like clinique and max factor. bonjour paris is also very good- i'd recommend their '10 hours sleep affect' foundation its really good.

just keep practising putting it on- you'll get their eventually.  

Answer 7

Changing your look is so much fun :D

You can get special make up that's Hypo Allergenic (I think that's it) It's quiet pricy but really good from clinique. A little think i think is cute is having a signature thing (my friend has dark skin and she wears bright lipsticks that make her stand out and her eyes pop she looks so cool and that's her

"Thing" mine is wearing almost no make up except a thin line of shimmery eye shadows across my top lids (&mascara eyeliner and a touch  of conceler obvs)) and that always looks great - so find something that's "yours" but make sure to mix it up- my sister has been weing the same lipstick every day for that past three years.

Some tips  ...

Choose your best feature out of eyes and lips and play one up NEVER both. So if it's eyes choose a couple of shades and blend them for a great look team with khol on your eyes and a few slicks of mascara leaving your lips bare (just a touch of balm) and if it's lips line them and fill them in and then add balm and just slick a bit of mascara on your eyes.

Never use foundation unless you want to look mask like use oncler and a dusting of loose powder.

Never put to much on - less is deffo more

and finally never use fake tan stick with your natural skin tone.

Maybe get your friends to help :D

good luck I'm sure the boys will be falling all over you in no time. :D

Start with the basics! If your eyes are blue wear browns or golds for eye shadows and eyeliners... Green eyes wear purples or pinks... Brown eyes wear lighter golds, pinks and mild blues... (don't go over board with blue! you can use Greens as well but same rules apply as well!) For mascara if your eyelashes are lighter like blonde you should wear brown mascara... if they are a little darker you can pull off blach/brown or black mascara. I personally like the cover girl brand for mascara... They work really well and last a long time.I really like clinique brand make up but if that is a little too expensive then check out the counters at target thats great make up for less. Hope this helps!!!!!

Answer 9

I was in your position when I was 15. My mother never wore makeup so she couldn't teach me how. What I did was I went out and experimented with brands of makeup. I'm 24 now and I have people asking me to do their makeup.

My suggestion for you is to start out with a foundation called Loreal Infallible makeup. It has SPF 18 sunscreen build in and stays on all day. Just apply this all over the face lightly making sure its even. There's different colors so you will have to decide what color you need.

Then get something called an eyeshadow stick instead of the powered and just cover your eyelid with it. Try going with a beige shadow first since you are just learning.

Mascara try a simple black. Once again Loreal is excellent. Coat the entire lash then take a q-tip and run it at the ends so that it doesn't clump.

Before applying gloss try to apply a medicated lip baum like Blistex. It protects your lips. Instead of lip stick find a nice shiny pink or tan lip gloss color and apply. I suggest Avon's glazewear and Loreal yet again. If you need cheaper there's a brand called Wet n Wild that is very good.

That's just simple starting out style of makeup. Check out some makeup books from your local library and watch youtube for more ideas. Also, ask your friends how they do it. If you go to a makeup store in the mall the people there may be kind enough to give you some tips as well.

Most importantly, put on a smile and have confidence in yourself. Looks is only part of what make people like you. If someone only likes you for your looks then they aren't worth having as friends. It's your inner beauty that shines through.

Hope that helps!
