Go to Ivillage.com http://www.ivillage.com/
This is a website for women. It has lots of tips on style and makeup. It also has a place where you can easily put your photo in and try different makeup and hairstyles.
TIP: To do your photo pull your hair back and take off all makeup.
If you are just learning you gotta try this it is great. If you do notice all the tools. When you put on eye shadow there is a tool to make it bigger and smaller I did not find that for a while.
Have fun!!!!

to intensify the blue colour in ur eye try using browns/ or blues . I would personally recomend brown maybe wit a little gold on the inner parts of ur eye lids. I work at a department store and do make up for people regulary. People wit blue eyes look good with browns. Also for a blush try a rosey colour specially since u want a girly look. for the lips i would choose between a pinky gloss or a gloss wit a tint of orange. This ofcourse depends on ur outfit.
I know many people recomend pinks but if u gonna put pink eyeshadow/ gloss and blush its not gonna look good . If u do decide to use pink eyeshadow go more natural and maybe use a clear gloss wit mascara and eyeliner.

For lips, stick with mauves, deeper pinks, and neutrals.
For blush, stick with shades of peach.
For eyes, stick with shades of brown for a neutral, not over done look. Brown also makes blue eyes pop. Other good colors for your eyes would be muted, pale, earthy greens, deep purples, and almost every shade of blue.
Use your disgression when determining which exact shades look best with your exact skin tone. This can be done by sampling the colors on your wrist before purchasing, if possible.

Go to either Sephora or Ulta and ask for help. They will let you know what looks good and are less pushy then expensive make up counters at Macy's or Nordstrom who are working for a commission. Also, don't feel pressured to buy anything. Look at what they show you and if you like a color you can always go to a drugstore to find something similar to department store. I would recommend using foundation or powder that is a bit more expensive because it's usually better for your skin.

Use light pinks and tans, and multy colored blush. I use Neutragena, I'm 13. And I really like a clean, simple, and cute look. The Neutragena stuff is really good and have a great look. I use another company for blush though. I don't remember what it is called but it i the one w/ the squares of pinks, reds and stuff.
This look is clean, simple, bt pretty.
I think you should try it, you'll get lots of completments on your skin and pretty look.
Hope it helps!!
Merry Christmas!!

make up tat enhances the way u look and NOT changes the way u look is best. do your brows (same shade as your hair), apply highlighter to yur brow bones, top with mascara. use a blush for your cheeks (rosy peach) and finish with lipgloss (any color really). if you have blemishes, use concealer. foundation is not necessary if u have good skin.

you have a lot of options.....you can get professional help by going to a make-up/ beauty store and asking someone who works there or you can go to a department store like macy's or nordstroms and ask any of the people at their makeup counters because they are all experts they will give you really good advice about what will look good on you and they will show you how to apply it, and their advice is free!

Go for colours that are warm, pinks and beaches. Pinkish-purple eyeshadows will look good on your eyes. Since you're pale, you shouldn't go for any bold or strong colours. Stick with soft shimmery pastels.

since you have fair skin, i recommend you use light pinks, light greens, or light blues for eyeshadow. As well as a light/pale pink for your lips. (Prefferably gloss) hope this helped, i don't know much about what colors look good together, but i know what shades to use.
