What makeup would look good on me? (Picture included)?

Question

I just need some help, I've always had trouble with this kind of stuff.

This is me: http://i34.tinypic.com/zk4xn6.jpg (sorry its side ways!)

As you can see, i don't have perfect skin. I have freckles and a little bit of redness on my cheeks and forehead. I hate wearing foundation, and try not to...it makes me feel gross.

This is my regular makeup routine (this is where i would like you to point out any miss steps, ect.)

1) put some sort of moisturizer on, and wait about 5 mins. (Oil of Olay Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15)

2) Apply a skin rev-er upper (bareVitamins) as my primer (does this work?)

3) When i do put some foundation/concealer on, i notice i usually put on too much, or to little. I usually notice that if i put some concealer on one part i have to put it all over, because it looks uneven. I usually use SheerCover concealer, then apply Visibly Even (by Neutrogena) but i notice this stuff makes me look orange and kinda fake. At least i might put SheerCover powder in Latte (i have alot of diff. colors, b/c my sister gets them for free) at this point i end of looking cakey and i skip the blush which never looks good on me and the bronzer with the same deal.

4) I use this really cheap primmer for my eyes only (Rimmel London) Fix & Perfect...foundation primer ( i think thats the problem, its only for foundation not eye?)

5) I will then apply Sephora brand white crayon eye pencil to the water line (this usually irritates my eyes and comes off very easily, but i deal with it)

6) I then apply a brown glittery eyeliner (Prescriptives) its a moonbeam reflective eyeliner in beaming brown. Before this, i would use Wet n Wild eyeliner in brown and black but i stopped because it smudged and the pigmentation wasn't strong enough..any body suggest a good drug store eyeliner with a good tip? i only apply to bottom..top?

7) I then apply Urban Decay (heavy metal glitter eyeliner in white) to the lower eye line...

8) I then just apply Lash Blast mascara..I've heard good and bad comments....

9) I skip eyeshadow..this is where i need help most. I cant afford expensive makeup right now...and i just use wet n wild but i stopped because my eyes get irritated and end up rashy...

10) I dont think much about lip gloss or w.e...i just put on some chap stick or some kind of color....

Remember, i need cheap, drug store...makeup! I'm 14! If you need any further explanation on what kind of makeup i use to help me further just email me!

Answer 1

*especially eyeliner*

Answer 2

The makeup that would look good on you is lotion all over your face, a thin line of brown eyeliner all around your eyes, curled upper eyelashes (using an eyelash curler), a coat of brown mascara on your upper and lower eyelashes, and some lip balm.

For your eyeliner, try Revlon's ColorStay Eyeliner in brown.

Answer 3

Oh, sweety, you're definitley using way too many different products. Especially when using foundation, you should stick to the same brands. No girl should have a 10 step makeup routine. So, I'll keep it simple. You can probably skip the Rev-er Upper. I actually use the Bare Minerals collection & I've found that it has bad effects when not combined with that product. So, I'll list what you should get:

1. Covergirl's TRUBLEND PRESSED POWDER or SIMPLY POWDER FOUNDATION

2. Any Covergirl blush in your desired shade, I'd try a lighter pink. Based on your skin tone, keeping your skin a little lighter than what it is, will help play up your AMAZING eyes so much more.

3. Rimmel's Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil. I find this stays on best for me, I just switched to it, no complaints at all.

4. Rimmel's Glam' Eyes Mascara, I just switched to this too & it separates & coats every lash perfectly.

5. You could probably skip eyeshadow, but if you decide you want to get a nice, gold or taupe loose eyeshadow powder, almost all brands will have a product like this. I hope this helps :).
