Answer 1

thats so rude. everyone learns at their own pase.. i would try to explain but you are a first timer and it is difficult to do so... i would suggest going to a MAC store or stand at a Macy's and ask someone to give you a make over (40$ or so) and they will tell you what you need.... try some earthly tones for eyeshadow.. brownish colors... bronze... pink... light green.. a bit of black eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss.. remember to wash your face off every night.. you dont want your face to be ruined... and IM me if anything!! here is a few sites that explain to you how to apply make up on..

Slow down there princess! Makeup isn't going to make anyone "prettier". Makeup should be used to hide minor skin glitches and to enhance what you already have going on. Select what you feel is your best facial feature and play it up; i.e. I think I have nice lips, so I use a lip-gloss to accentuate them, but not anything to opaque or shimmery, that would just hide them. On the other hand, I think I have small eyes, so I make sure to wear a little bit of eyeliner even if I'm not wearing any other makeup. The thing you really have to remember is this: Too much is so much worse than none at all. Start small. Baby steps: a little mascara, a little lip gloss. The classic tip is a little bit of vaseline on your eyelids. Don't follow anybody else just because "They're pretty" or "they know what they're doing" because what works for them might not work for you. That way you'll learn what works well for you and what doesn't without having to learn it the hard way.

You should schedule an appointment at a department store such as Macy's or Nordstrom. The ladies that work those cosmetics counters are usually pretty good at helping you find a look that fits you. Estee Lauder or M.A.C are good products. Benefit has very nice and light makeup. But make sure you shop around so you can see what look you like the most.

Okay you dont need make-up to look pretty although it may help you dont absoloutly NEED it. I wear bronzer mascara light pink glosses and ligh brown eye shadows its a natural look that guys love! You can tell if a guy is turned on by HMU if you wear hooker makeup (now im not talking smokey eyes) if he looks at u strange you know he doesnt want that in a girl!

Answer 5

u could add a little eye shadow to ur eyes to bring it out. lip gloss to lips and add clear on top for EXTRA shine! maybe u should try contacts if u have glasses...add some pink blush to ur cheek bone. don't go too wild on ur hair...tame it with a comb or brush. for more volume in ur hair blow dry ur hair while bending over. hope this works 4 u..if it doesn't not everyone looks good with make up. and remember don't worry what other ppl think.

Answer 6

Try to start out with something very natural. Don't start off with bold colors. Just a little mascara, blush and lip gloss can go a long way. (The people who make fun of you for not wearing make-up are jealous because they can't go without it)

Answer 7

i would suggest going to a department store MAC counter and ask the ladies there for advice. they'll be able to teach you how to put makeup on as well as let you know what would go best with your skin, face shape and all that other fun stuff. also watching shows like What Not to Wear will give you free little lessons on how to apply.

Answer 8

Get with a Mary Kay consultant and she can help you to find the right colors for you and show you how to apply it correctly. Check out this website under the virtual makeovers section..it is cool

Answer 9

You should check out this really good book by Kevyn Aucoin, "Face Forward" It is a great step-by-step book on how to apply makeup! He also has some other books such as "Making faces" and "The art of Makeup"

Good Luck!
