Answer 1

Don't use it! I feel that a women is just right with out it. Either your beautiful or ugly then you should put something on.

Answer 2

Okay, before you apply any makeup you need to cleanse your face. Use a gentle cleanser and apply moisturizer. Let the moisturizer absorb into your skin for a few minutes and then blot any excess off with a tissue.
Next, apply concealer and/or foundation using your fingertips or a sponge. Make sure that you blend very well and use a cosmetic sponge to blend foundation along the jawline. Set with a translucent or oil-absorbing powder using a large fluffy brush.
Next, you can accent your eyes using eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara. For daytime, it's best to use lighter, more neutral colors like brown eyeliner and a beige eyeshadow. Mascara is a must no matter what time of day it is, because it makes you look well-rested and perky.
If you have sparse eyebrows, you should fill them in with a brow pencil. The eyebrows are important because they frame the face and eyes. Groomed and shaped eyebrows are necessary for giving you a professional look.
To finish your makeup, apply a little bronzer (if you need it) and blush. It's best to use a powder blush because cream formulas do not last at all. Be sure to blend these thoroughly, as well.
You may want to carry pressed powder with you throughout the day for touch-ups, especially if you have oily skin. Blush is also good to carry in your purse so that you don't look washed out. Good luck!

here is my routine.....once you get practice you can do it very quickly...i dont have time in the morning for long routines!! hope it helps!!

1. apply lotion or moisturizer to face

2. used a concealer on the eyelids and under the eye and on any blemishes

3.use a powder/foundation mix. It offers more coverage then just powder but not as heavy as regular foundation and powder. I use cover girl brand.

4. if you have time u can apply some eye shadow..but u dont have to.

5. use mascara on top and bottom lashes.

6. use light blush on cheeks

7. finish with lip gloss and your out the door!!

Answer 4

1) apply foundation. make sure that it has the same skin tone as you cause you don't want to look orange or too pale. loose powder over that is optional.
2)mascara. it elongates the lashes and makes short lashes look longer.
3)eyeshadow, but don't use too much, just a line of the color of your choice above the lash line. if you're a beginner id advise you not to use kohl or eyeliner as they're hard to use
4) lipstick or lip gloss. both are good but put this in your bag for later as it will wear off.
Now you're ready for you're night out!
you don't have to always wear this amount of makeup, if you're just going shopping or some normal average everyday outing just wear your lip gloss and mascara, eyeshadow is optional and loose powder if you feel like it.

Answer 5

I have the knowledge. First, wash your face with a mild facial cleanser. Soap should be avoided becuz it it is harsh and dries out your skin. Next apply a good moisturizer. Now, line your upper and lower eyelids with favorite eyeliner. Starting with the uppers, make a thin line beginning at inside corner of upper and gradually broaden line a bit as you work toward outer corner then smudge w/fingertip. I don’t like using q-tip to smudge becuz the cotton tends to remove some eyeliner. Line bottom lashes on inside of lashes. With other index finger, stretch skin under lash down a bit to make it easier to apply. Then I recommend applying a coat of mascara primer to lashes and let dry. This is NOT necessary however it really makes the mascara take hold much better than without. Then apply eyeshadow, then if you are going to use brow pencil do it now. Then apply two coats of macara. Dont forget the lower lashes. Now, the reason I said do eyes first is becuz you don’t need to worry about getting excess eyeshadow on your face. Now, I use a foundation primer. it’s a product that you put on kinda like moisturizer and it fills tiny lines, pores, or minor imperfections in skin texture and gives the foundation a good smooth canvas, if you will, to stick to. This primer is NOT needed either, but it does help. Let it dry for a minute then if needed apply a small dab of concealer to hide any blemishes, acne scars, dark areas under eyes. For heavy blemishes such as a scar from a wound or severe burn I recommend cover cream by derma blend. Then smooth liquid foundation on as desired. Let dry. I like to apply a loose colorless powder with a powder puff. A light dusting is good. Next apply blush to apples of cheeks. Perhaps apply small amount of blush to forehead, nose, and chin to give face that sun conditioned look and some color. Then apply lip liner and finally, lipstick. You can give lipstick staying power by first applying a coat then dusting with small amount of clear powder then applying a second coat of lipstick. Apply gloss if desired. Smashbox makes a greast mascara and foundation primer but they are pricey. You should be able to find something cheaper. Also, false eyelashes really beautify eyes. They take some practice putting on but they are very nice for special occasions and there are dozens of different kinds some as cheap as $2.50 a pair. Hope this helped you out. I know it helped me become tired of typing. Happy face painting!

Answer 6

for should 1st start by using a mosturizer like lotion or a face cream u might have...than just start with a nice pressing powder...liquid make looks fake and messy..but if you have good skin a pressing powder is good..than move to the eyes depending on your eye color will decide if you should use and lighter or darker color to line the eyes..if you eye color is dark use a dark eyeliner like dark brown or black would be good and if they are light use a light brown color...your eye shadow should favor you attire and there should be 2 colors a light shimmery color and a darker shade to favor the attire the dark goes onto the lids and the light should blen outwards towards the eyebrow...and you lips should be simple not bold...to keep your look classy...maybe a nice pink gloss. and your look is simple and elagant

Answer 7

the best would just be some powder cover up, some blush, and mascara. it's very simple yet effective. if you want to try a little more, go for some eyeliner in the corner of your eye.

Answer 8

moisturizer then powder. then apply powders such as blush then eyeshadow next apply pencils such as lip liner then eyeliner last apply lipstick. some people pluck eyebrows then apply eyebrow pencil for coloring. may i suggest that natural beauty is best without makeup.

Answer 9

makeup in minutes
If you are plagued with dark circles under your eyes, then quickly apply concealer under your eyes, mascara and some lip gloss, and you're off!
If you have fair or pale skin color, then simply apply some cream blush and lipstick and go!
If you have olive or dark skin, but your tone is a little sallow, then you may choose a creamy lip color and some blush, and you're ready for the day.
If breakouts or spider veins are your biggest problem, then simply cover them with a little camouflage, then apply your favorite lip and eye colors, and you're done
