Step 1: Foundation
Select a foundation for your skin type that matches your underlying skin tone exactly. Using the flat, smooth surface of a round, nonporous synthetic sponge, pour some foundation onto the sponge, then transfer the foundation in dots and dabs all over the face and the eyelids. You can also use your fingers to transfer the foundation in dots from the bottle to the face. Use your sponge to blend the foundation down and out over the face. Do not apply foundation on the neck or under the chin.
Step 2: Concealer
Use a concealer that is one or two shades lighter than your foundation. Apply it in a small arc around the inside corner of the eye. Using your fingers or a concealer brush, blend the concealer out evenly by dabbing and buffing.You can also apply concealer to the eyelid if that area is dark or, if your concealer has a matte finish, as a way to help eyeshadow cling better.For concealing facial discolorations such as freckles, blemishes, or red spots, use a concealer that matches or is just slightly lighter than your natural skin tone.
Step 3: Powder
After you apply the foundation and concealer, dust a light layer of powder over the entire face and eyelids. Apply the powder with a large, full, round brush. Pick up some of the powder on the full end of the brush, knock off the excess, and brush it on using the same motion and direction as you did for the foundation (down and out).
Step 4: Eyeshadow
All of the options for building an eye design are too numerous to list here. Typically, the lightest color is applied to the entire eyelid and to the edge of the eyebrow. (The general rule is that the larger or more prominent the eyelid area is compared with the under-brow area, the darker or deeper the eyelid color can be; the smaller the eyelid area is compared with the under-brow area, the brighter or lighter the eyelid color can be.) Select a deeper color from the same or a complementary color family to shade the crease. Practice your application and blend well; the goal is not to have obvious edges of color. Remember, lighter colors bring things forward and highlight, dark colors recede and add depth and shading.
Step 5: Eyeliner
Position the brush, pencil, or applicator as close to the lashline along the eyelid as possible. Then draw a line from the inner to outer corner using one fluid stroke, following the curvature of the eyelid. As a general rule, do not extend the line past the outer corner of the eye or hug the tear duct area of the eye. Generally, the line along the lower lashes should be thinner and a less-intense color than the upper liner. Make sure that the two lines meet at the back corner of the eye. As a general rule, the larger the eyelid area, the thicker and softer the eyeliner should be. The smaller the eyelid area, the thinner and more intense the liner should be.
Step 6: Eyebrow Shaping
Use a color that closely matches the color of your brows rather than your hair color or a color you think would look better than what already exists. Apply powder brow color using a wedge brush, working in the direction the hair grows. Use a light touch, with short, quick motions, and avoid the temptation to exaggerate the shape of the brow by arching it severely or extending the brow into the temple area.
Step 7: Mascara
If you use a lash curler, it is best to use it before you apply mascara. Squeeze gently with even pressure. Hold for a few seconds as you “walk” the curler along the length of the eyelashes, and release slowly. Apply mascara to the upper lashes using long, sweeping strokes. Be sure to begin as close to the lash root as possible and brush up and out. Use an old, cleaned-up mascara wand to remove any clumping that occurs.
Step 8: Blush
Using a blush brush, apply blush along the full line of the cheekbone brushing down and back toward the ear. Always knock the excess powder out of the brush to avoid applying too much blush. Use your sponge to soften any hard edges. Do not apply blush to the temple area, chin, nose, or forehead--this tends to make skin look uneven and ruddy.
Step 9: Lipstick and Lip Liner
A lip brush or lip pencil is an optional accessory. You can use a lip pencil to draw a definitive edge around the mouth to follow when applying lipstick, and a lip brush to control your application. A standard tube of lipstick makes too wide a mark for some lips and too narrow a mark for others. If your lips are small, it is best to use a lip brush; if your lips are large, the only reason to use a lip brush is to improve your accuracy, especially with deeper shades such as red. Line the actual shape of your mouth. Do not use corrective techniques that make the mouth look larger or longer, especially for daytime makeup--it almost always looks like a mistake. If you want your lipstick to last, apply more of it and don’t blot; blotting takes off several layers before you’ve even left the house.

As a makeup artist after cleaning and moisturizing the skin I do the eye makeup first. Each artist has his own technique.

i would say the first step is to find a moisturiser that suits you, an advisor at boots can help with this, then a foundation that is light, not heavy, it should emphasise your face not look like a mask, and only be applied where necessary, then a powder to set your foundation, a nice rose blush for apples of cheeks or a bronzer for the sunkissed look, groomed eyebrows are a must as they frame the eyes, in my opinion less is definately more, so a very light shadow with a light shimmer will bring out colour in your eyes, and a smudge proof mascara, i always finnish with a lipgloss rather that lipstick, i think its far sexier and pretty than heavy lipstick. good luck

cleanse tone and moisturize your skin. Apply some loose powder over your face to make a good base. Apply foundation and conceal dark spots . Put on some blush, then eye shadow, followed by lipliner and lipstick. End off by putting on some lipgloss then mascara and to finish it all spritz a little moisture mist on your face to keep it fresh (don't hold the bottle too close, you'll smash your whole makeup job)

Trust me hun ive been into make-up and beauty since i was 3 years old lol. I think first you need a base for your face, i reccomend Oil of Olay beauty fluid, they have the classic and one for sensitive skin, not only is it non-greasy but affordable and smells great too. Then you should start any powder/blush/foundation on your face. Then go to the eyes, and then the lips. I'll also give you a beauty tip for the lips, to make your lipstick, last longer apply it then get a tissue dab your lips and apply it again, it really works! Or use Lipcote, if you can feel the tingle from it then its working or to add a bit of shine as well use lipcote glitzy available in all different colours!

I would suggest you go to MAC if there is one around you. Make an appointment during the week not Friday, Saturday or Sunday because they are very busy. There they will walk you step by step on how to apply your makeup. When you go they will ask you how you would like your makeup done, I usually say I want something dramtic so that way I can learn the hardest way first. You will love it I promise

The first rule is:-
use a light moisturiser but don't apply anything else for at least 5 mins (10 if you have time). This way your skin will have absorbed all of it & your makeup won't slide off.
