Makeup help! I don't know nothing about it!

Question

I want to start wearing makeup. Like other people with eyeshadow. and I don't know anything about makeup. The only thing i know is Eyeliner, and Mascara because i only wear that?

I am 15 in the 10th grade. I need to know what all i need. I know theres stuff like foundation but i have no idea what it is.

Plus what are some good eye shadow pointers?

Answer 1

oh boy, i would love to tell you everything :)

okay so foundation basically semi-covers up any blemishes or imperfections and makes your skin look more even overall. i use maybeline dream matte mouse, its great! but it has tons of different shades to choose from so that might be a little hard..

i love eyeliner.. but you already know about that?

and mascara is great too. i like great lash or maybeline

blush is always fun, it basically gives your face a lil color

eye shadow and perfecting eyes is my favorite thing! it can be so fun

there arent really any rules except dont get a color like blue or green or something and go completely extreme.. that wont look good lol

it all depends on the color of your eyes and skin to know what color would look good on your eyes.

just play around with it and you should find something that looks good!

Answer 2

I recommend a good skin care first of all.

Mineral foundations, not those seen on tv, which are full of fillers. they look so airbrushed & natural when done right.

a little mascara, liner in the color of your natural lashes. Under your lash line on the bottom & over on the top. Shadows - not if you don't want to ,but the tip is: do not wear the same color all over your lid, it makes raccooon eyes.

Blush & lip color should be in the same hue, cool Or warm. Rule of thumb with blush, hold your finger up beside your nose, now don't not go 2 inches past your finger on your blush, if you have it's gone out to far. On contouring you can, a little, but lets not get into that. Lip gloss is  good & can be worn alone.

Answer 4

Ok well I looveee makeup my favorite line is MAC

um for eyeshadows if its ur first time id say start with neutral colors that blend in well like browns and tans.

For foundation i do not recomend drugstore type because it could be bad for ur skin and since ur 15 u might be acne prone to some, id say go to a department store and they should show you what shade you need.

I think drugstore eyeshadows are ok, just as long as u have the right brushes that will blend and apply well.

For blush, again since its ur first time id say go with a neutral pink color as well not too bright and just put a lil on the apples of ur cheeks.

Basically thats all I know about makeup.

Answer 5

I am the same age and am in the same grade as you. In the morning, I normally wash my face then use some type of zit cream and moisturizer. I put on foundation and powder next, and after that I add blush on my cheeks. Then I use an eyelash curler & apply my eyeliner and mascara. I normally don't wear eye shadow. At the end of the day, I suggest using some type of facial cleanser to remove the makeup & eye-makeup remover pads work well for my eyes. I also put more moisturizer on before I go to sleep. I hope this helps you (:

Answer 7

If you don't need to wear make-up then i recommend not to. If it's not organic or natural makeup then it will cause you to breakout because it clogs up your pores. Make sure to wash your face before applying makeup. I also suggest toner (to remove any dirt) and moisturizer (olay daily moisturizer). But you should be fine with eyeliner (use on the top and bottom, covergirl). Mascara (use on the top and the bottom, covergirl). Eye shadow (on the lids of your eyes, loreal, covergirl, maybelline). Concealer (usually to conceal blemishes, loreal). Foundation (to had color and even out complexion, loreal). When using foundation I would use a sponge, because it is great for evenly spreading out the foundation. Blush (to add color, usually in pink or red tones, loreal). When applying blush, use a brush and suck in cheeks. Lip gloss/ Lipstick (add color to lips). Lip liner (line out lips and create fullness). Remember to wash you face at the end of the day. I would use eye makeup remover or mascara make up remover. You don't want to look like a cake face, so don't get to excited and you don't want to get so use to wearing makeup that you can't leave your house with out it. You do not have to match your make up with your outfits either. Also you need to find the right colors for you (i.e. eye shadow/ blush/ foundation/ concealer). You might need to make a few trips. Some people use bronzer to add more color to their arms, legs, chest, back.
