um, i cant really understand what ur saying, but i would walk up to the M-A-C counter nearest you and aks them to help you. they will show you the right color for your skin tone, and they will give you pointers on how to apply. they could also give you make up for how you want to look (like if you want it to look like a pwder or like your real skin.) they helped me yesterday, and now i look great(according to my friends) so yeah, definitly go to the M-A-C counter.

Hello, I'm not sure what your age is so that makes a difference. I happen to be VERY good with make-up. I'm almost 36 and since I was in about the 8th grade I have been doing make-up. I have had people from work to Disneyland compliment my make-up. The brand is not really the issue. So don't run to the MAC counter and spend money out the booty. Expense isn't everything. When you are young you can get away with the cheaper brands of everything except...foundation and mascara. I use Bare Minerals, only because I can afford it now. I have used everything though. The most important thing is your foundation so if you can afford a good one...get it. Don't trust the inexperienced girls at the make-up counters, some know what they are doing, some don't. When you try a foundation, blend it into your skin(don't wear make-up when you do this)Go to the window at the store and look in the natural light and see if it blends into your skin. As far as the other make-up goes, there are a few ?????'s. Do you tend to have creases in your eyeshadow? What are the shape of your features? If you want natural make-up, then you need to accent your features. Are your lips the focal point? Are you eyes the focal point? What color is your hair? Please write me back and let me know. I CAN help you. I have a 17 yr. old daughter and a 14yr old step-daughter that I help in this area. There are a lot of factors to consider. The more I know,the better.

For foundations, use Physician's Formula multi-toned powders. Or go with Maybelline's or Lancome's mousse. Those give a really natural, soft feel. Just smooth on a thin coat each day, or leave it off if your face is clear. Or, you can go with with the Bare Minerals mineral powder. It's all natural and just gives your face a finished look.
For Mascara, swipe on a quick coat of Boujois volume Mascara, perhaps in brown. I swear by it; that stuff will NOT budge. (sometimes, it's a wee bit hard to get it off, but it's worth it.) Or go with the clear lash tint by CoverGirl.
For a blush and lips, go with a good lip/cheek stain. It literally looks like the color is coming up from under your skin. I have a medium-light skin tone, and I thought Maraschino by Liptini looked best. It runs about $16.50 at Ulta. I think you'll love the staining effects. For a bit more gloss, get any regular clear moisturizing one from the drugstore, or maybe on sportier days get one of the Neutrogena glosses. Apparently, those are good for your lips too.
You can alternate different light colored eyeshadows each day, to coordinate with your outfit or whatever.
Sorry if the process seems loong, but actually it's just about five minutes. I suggest looking up Cindy Crawford's: A Basic Face. It's all about getting down a daily regimen that makes people wonder how you were born so pretty.

You can go the basic route and use just a light cheek color, a little mascara and a good lip gloss. It is a very natural look because it is natural. If you want some free one on one advice I recommend finding a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant in your area (www.marykay.com). They are the best selling brand of cosmetics and skin care in the country.
If you are a teenager you may want to ask your mother for any tips she might have. I know that can be difficult but it is worth a shot. If your mother doesn't have any advice she may want to have a color consultation with you.

Hi! Just chose a foundation that will last, but won't look cakey. You can get a less expensive one thati swear by "Revlon Colorstay" I've tried the Chanels and Mac, but this works the best. Just stay close to your color. For eyes, that is fun. Go for the neutrals like a taupe that is not frosted and a defining brown. Revlon has a quad with dark brown that I swear by. I also use Mac Chocolate, but it is shimmery. I like matte. You can get a consultation at Macy's or Dillards for free. They will help and give guidelines to apply. There are also courses to assist to learn. In fact, you can learn to apply like the PROs. If you play up the eyes, down play the lips and always use lipliner regardless of color or gloss for a finished look. Good luck to you. Hope this helps. And neutrals are always safe for ANY color skin tone, btw.

- cheapest household item makeup remover: vasaline (make sure you wash your face with oil free cleanser after)
- plump lips: brush your lips gently with a wet toothbrush, dab gloss in the center of your lips then spread whatever is on your lips with finger. (center of lips always has the most gloss)
- larger eyes: eyeliner on the bottom lid, into lashline, curl lashes and mascara
- if eyeliner smudges during the day, smudge the entire thing for smokey look, natural look
- use a metal curler instead of a plastic one
- invest in skin care products instead of makeup, great skin is essential in beauty, and involves a lot less makeup

Just try to keep things simple. First, use a tinted moisturizer to even out skintone. Then make sure your eyebrows are well groomed and define your eyes with liner and mascara. Add a little blush onto your apples and slick on a lip gloss.

You should definitely try some liquid liner on ur top lid....but do it very thin, dont go on thick. Then just line ur lower lid wit pencil and finish with one coat of mascara. Looks natural if u do it right, and doesnt look like too much.
