I need help choosing the right type of make up to wear? Please! ?

Question

Ok so I never wear any kinds of make up except mascara. I want to start putting on things like cover up etc…

But don’t know were to start.

Like what’s the difference between foundation and concealer.

What’s a good brand to use, for acne prone skin; oily.

I guess what am looking for is like step to step instructions for make up use. But nothing to heavy, or too over the top.

something simple!

[: thanks in advanced

Answer 1

Lots of questions to address...First

Concealer is used to hide blemishes or other small inconsistencies. Foundation is used for an all around base on your face, hence the name foundation. There are liquid based foundations, powder based, or mineral based. Mineral is best for acne prone skin but it's expensive and not ideal for young girls. What I used to do was take a small amount of liquid foundation and mix it with a non-oil, acne cream and put it on.

If you don't want to do too much I would say start with this technique and get some light bronzer or blush and a brown/black eye crayon (crayons are easier to use than eyeliner pencils or liquid liner) and maybe a little sheer gloss.

Answer 2

Foundation is not a good idea for oily or acne prone skin as it will only clog up your pores. Although it's not exactly makeup I would suggest a really thin (and i mean thin as this stuff is really white) layer of Sudocrem, this works for things like spots as it is an antiseptic cream so it help dry them up. After the sudocrem a layer of loose powder on top will help cover up the shininess that the sudocrem leaves and the powder will stay well as it sticks to it. Just in case you don't know sudocrem can be bought from most pharmacies and is usually used for thing like nappy rash.This really works as it both covers and gets rid of things like spots. =)

Answer 3

concealer is for little red spots, not for all over your skin. foundation is for all over your skin. for oily skin, they make a special foundation w/ acne medicine in it. use a black eyeliner lightly on the top if you want a natural look. if want a darker, cuter look, do only on the bottem and put mascara on top. lip gloss is nice to.
