Never Wore Makeup. Will someone help?

Question

I need something to cover my acne up with. I have oily skin, and theres not one part of it that isnt covered with huge zits. (had them since i was 10 and i've already been to a dermatologist, but it didn't help) I'm not sure what the differance is between foundation and concealer and i have no idea how to put them on.

I also need to know how to put on eyemakeup. (like eyeliner and mascara) I have one black eyeliner stick at home, and i've tried applying it, but it just turns out oily and clear looking.

I want my eyes to look like this:

Should I use pencil or liquid eyeliner?

I live with my dad, and i have no females around to show me. (i'm homeschooled, so no friends either..i'm starting public school this year) And stores like Macys are too far away. All thats near me is Walmart but they don't do that "free makeover" thing.

Answer 1

you need a good brand of eye liner hun, go to wallmart or a local store to get a brand like maybeline, and it needs to be new or else you are going to get smudges. First, for the eyes, dont be afraid to put something so close to your eye, and pencil in thick rows close to where your eye lids meet. OHH before that im sorry, put on some powder so it stays on there. apply the liner untill you have it how you like. Usually when you have that much liner on you dont need mascara though, trust me it looks weird. haha sorry i hope this helps, i dont wear make up but i have my cosmotology license, so i usually do it for people, and not just tell them. HOPE THIS HELPS sweetie, good luck

Answer 2

If your dad is willing to really help you than ask him to get you Clear.now. I promise you this is the best possible stuff for you. It is a three step system with a cleanser, toner and moisturiser. I tried everything out there before this because I had really bad acne too and this is the only thing that helped. You can't find it in any stores you have to go to http://www.adrennan.qhealthbeauty.com This is where you can read all about it and also buy it. Let your dad know as well that he doesn't have to worry about losing anything because they have a 100% money back guarentee for up to a year. So if it doesn't work for you or you don't like it they will give you or him or whoever is buying it can get every penny back. Also on the same website you can find Artistry's Make up. This is safe for acne prone skin because it will not clog pores or cause acne. They also have 100% money back guarentee on all of their products as well. If you get a color you don't like or whatever you can either send it back and get another for free or you can just get your money back. Their make up is excellent quality. There isn't any other make up company that offers all of your money back. If he doesn't wanna get you the make up have him at least get the Clear.now because it will make a world of difference for you. And it will come right to your doorstep. Good Luck.

Call Avon or Mary Kay - they will do makeup tips right in your home.

As for covering acne - You need to be careful. You need to not only get makeup, but effective cleansers to remove it as well. You'll need a gentle liquid cleanser - like Oil of Olay (Walmart generic versions are just as good.) An astringent and an oil free moisturizer. Yes... I said moisturizer. It will keep your skin's oil production down - believe it or not.

Go with a non acne-genic (won't cause acne) and non commodogenic (won't clog pores) liquid make up base. Almay is also Hypoallergenic. Use makeup sponges to dab it on. Never streatch your skin with your fingers - or you'll get wrinkles very early. The make up should be the same color as your neck, so you don't look like you are wearing a mask.

Brush the makeup smooth with the sponge always moving from the bottom of your face to the top.

You can fix the makeup to your face with a translucent colored face powder. I like Covergirl.

Pick a blush that isn't too obvious - but goes with your skintone. Use a brow liner that is the same color as your hair. Mascara should also be the same color as your hair.

The eyeliner in the picture is liquid - and difficult to master. You'll need a steady hand and a lot of practice. Don't go black unless you have black hair and eyes.

You will need a cleanser especially for eyes if you use that liner.

Wash your face before makeup in the morning - and splash cold water on it to close your pores before applying your makeup.
Wash your face clean before going to bed. Never sleep in it. It will not only make you break out, but it will age your skin.

Good luck, hon. Peace.

Answer 4

OMG! ok first you put the concealer all around your eyes so it can cover up the dark parts(if you have any), on top put some foundation but not too much, becuz then it just looks ghostly and nasty, to put eyeliner: I think it is easier to put it on with pencil eyeliner than with liquid, just follow your eye crease and if you smear it clean it with a damp cotton swab gently, if you can also get a blush: get a redish pinkish blush if you are tan and a tan blush if your are light, for mascara just open your eye wide and try your best not to poke your eye becuz it hurts, put as little as you can so it won't look messy and guppy. I hope this helps. (get covergirl its really good and they have nice colors) don't put too much makeup so you can look pretty and chic!

Answer 5

Foundation and concealer, I'm pretty sure are the same thing. They cover up your acne. They leave little bumps but they aren't as noticable. If you want to make your eyes look like that picture, use liquid eyeliner. If you just want to look casual though, use pencil. Apply it right under your eyelashes. Hope this helps you!

Answer 6

First wash face good with dial liquid antibacterial soap
foam up and then rinse with hot and then cold water then
put aloe vera gel on face, let dry. then get u some coverstick

Answer 9

Please, unless you are grossly disfigured, do not wear makeup. It makes girls/women ugly. Trust me, I am not trying to be funny. Most guys prefer this. Thanks.

Answer 10

To select becoming colors for your wardrobe, you must consider three very important factors-your skin, your eyes and your hair. Your personal coloring gives you clues to the colors you can wear best in makeup and fashions. Some people even go as far as to use their personal coloring to determine the colors they use to decorate their home.

Which colors one selects to wear are important in creating an attractive appearance. Becoming colors add clearness or glow to the skin and bring out the color of the hair and eyes. Unbecoming colors appear to drain color from the skin, leaving it sallow and unhealthy looking, or causing it to appear more florid or purple.
Whatever your color choices, the emphasis should be on you. You can wear any color you want to, in the right location, in the right amount and in the right combination. Some colors may not look unattractive, but they won't be your best colors. Taking the time to determine your best colors is important if you want to:
highlight your hair coloring
make your eyes sparkle
plan an attractive, workable wardrobe
avoid costly mistakes when selecting new fashions.
Your personal coloring patterns can give you a clue to the color family, brightness, and intensity you will want to use in your wardrobe. If you are not pleased with your coloring, work to offset it by selecting wardrobe colors that will de-emphasize it.
There are no set rules for color use, but there are some principles that can be used to achieve a pleasing wardrobe color scheme. The skin color is the most important consideration. However, when either the hair color or eye coloring are outstanding, they should be emphasized over the skin coloring.
As you begin the search for your most becoming colors, you must determine the underlying color in you complexion. Is it warm or cool? Warm complexions have yellow, peach or red undertones. Cool complexions have pink, violet or blue undertones.
To determine your basic coloring, analyze your skin without makeup. Be sure to use strong natural light or incandescent lighting; fluorescent lighting causes colors to look different. Wear a light, neutral color or place a white towel around your shoulders so no external colors interfere.
Now, look at your face in a good mirror. What are the major colors that you see? Do not be misled by a suntan. Most skins, regardless of race or tan, will have undertones of yellow, red, pink or blue. If you have trouble determining the color on your face, look at the inside of your wrist or your stomach.
After determining basic skin tone, warm or cool, consider the color of your hair and eyes. These three colors, skin, hair and eyes, make up your personal coloring, and must be considered as you select makeup and fashion colors to create an attractive appearance. Colors that flatter your skin usually look good with your hair and eye coloring, but not always. In such cases, always select the color that looks best with your skin.
If you are unsure of your basic coloring, try on a few colors to determine how they affect your appearance. Use the following cool and warm colors for your analysis:
Warm Cool
Ivory Pure white
Yellow green Blue green
Bright orange Bright pink
Red orange Burgundy
Dark brown Black

Ask yourself the following questions about each color:
Does my skin glow?
Does the color cause skin imperfections or wrinkles to be less noticeable?
Does the color bring out the highlights in my hair?
Do my eyes sparkle with this color?

Generally the colors from one group, warm or cool, will be more flattering. This indicates your complexion is more warm or more cool in nature. If a color causes your face to have shadows or if it reflects the color, avoid that color in your wardrobe and makeup.
If your complexion has undertones of pink, violet or blue, you have a cool complexion. Your fashion and makeup colors should have similar undertones. Colors with undertones that are warm (yellow) will be less becoming for your complexion.
People with warm skin tones, yellow, peach or red, will look best in colors with the same undertones. This complexion is called warm. If you have a warm complexion, avoid colors in your fashions and makeup that have cool (blue) undertones.
Try these methods to enhance your complexion colors.
Place the color's complement next to it. Example: Green with red hair, purple with blonde hair.
Combine the color with a neutral color. Example: Light pastel with dark brown hair.
Repeat a large amount of the same color in a lower intensity near it. Example: Grayed blue with clear blue eyes.
Repeat the same color in a brighter intensity, but in a small amount.Example: Emerald green scarf with green eyes.
To de-emphasize a personal color:
Avoid complementary colors.Example: Sallow skin looks more yellow when purple is worn.
Use color of brighter intensity in large amounts.Example: Bright rust with auburn hair. Bright yellow with blonde hair.
Special considerations:
Becoming colors add clearness or glow to the skin and bring out the highlights of the hair. Unbecoming colors are those that drain color from the skin, leaving it sallow and unhealthy in appearance, or emphasizing unpleasant violet shadows or a florid tone.
The wearer should be the center of interest, not the color or colors being worn. Natural blondes should avoid intense colors because of their delicate coloring. Those with a neutral complexion should avoid intense or bright acid hues.
Avoid brighter intensities of colors similar to those present in your complexion.
People with cool coloring generally appear more attractive when wearing cool colors, while people with warm coloring find warm colors more becoming.
People with strong value contrasts in personal coloring can wear strong contrasts such as black with white.
People with close values or little contrast in personal coloring should avoid vivid intensities, strong value contrasts, monotones, and beiges or grays that closely match in value.
Colors may be more becoming in fabrics of uneven, dull textures than shiny, smooth textures.
In using neutrals, remember that white seems to add color, black seems to take away color, and gray seems to neutralize other colors.
An unbecoming color can be made wearable with careful selection of the amount used and the placement of the color. Use it in combination with a dark accent or add a becoming color or light value near the face.
Knowing your best colors will help you look your best. Once you have determined your skin coloring, you can select fashion and makeup colors that are most flattering to you. Remember, your goal is to look as healthy and sparkling as possible. Wearing the right colors can help you do just that.

Make-up based upon your coloring!
An attractive makeup application must begin with a foundation that blends smoothly and evenly, merging with your skin. Even if you feel that you need a foundation that provides good coverage, obvious coverage is a mistake and can negatively affect your entire makeup application. The primary goal when shopping for foundation is to be sure it matches your skin exactly. Avoid ever buying a foundation to alter skin color because in daylight or office lighting, it will appear completely unnatural.

For many people of a variety of ethnicities, skin is almost always some shade of neutral ivory, beige, tan, dark brown, bronze brown or ebony, with a very slight yellow undertone (but without any orange or pink). Some Native North American or South American women, a small percentage of African-American women, and some Polynesian women have a red cast to their skin and some East Indian women may have an ashy undertone. Foundation should follow these tones exactly, avoiding any unnatural looking skin colors.

The following is a rundown of the major types of foundations you will find at the drugstore and at department stores. Which one to use depends on your skin type (oily vs. dry) and personal preferences including how much coverage you desire, what type of finish you prefer, and other factors.

Oil-free and matte liquid foundations
A well-formulated oil-free or matte finish liquid foundation should have a smooth finish with no shine or dewy appearance. Ideally, this appearance should last for at least a few hours, but in the long run, this depends almost entirely on how oily your skin is. Most oil-free and matte liquid foundations provide sheer to medium coverage.

Pros: These foundations are the best choice for women who want balanced coverage with minimal to no shine, and who like a smooth, matte look. They last much longer on oily skin or over oily areas than most other foundation types.

Cons: All in all, there aren't many disadvantages to using this kind of foundation but some of them can make the skin look or feel dry.

Ultra-matte foundations
These are an amazing group of medium to full coverage products that truly stay put. Most have a very liquid consistency but dry quickly on the skin. The good news is that today's ultra-matte foundations are noticeably easier to blend and more forgiving of mistakes.

Pros: These foundations are a superior option if you have seriously oily skin, have trouble with makeup slipping or disappearing as the day goes by, live in a humid climate, exercise but still like having your makeup stay put, or like a completely matte finish. Ultra-matte foundations will outlast any other foundation, with no slippage or movement. If you have very oily skin, these are an absolute must to try.

Cons: The disadvantages to using ultra-matte foundations are that many of them go on rather heavily and look masklike, leaving the skin feeling very dry and taut. In order to get this makeup on evenly, you must blend quickly or it will dry in place before you know it, and then it can be difficult to blend further. Ultra-matte foundations have less movement than more emollient foundations, which means eyeshadow and blush have a tendency to stick to them; that can make blending and correcting mistakes a bit irksome. Women of color should be careful when choosing ultra-matte foundation. Even if it is the right color, these foundations can tend to look gray and ashen after being applied to darker skin tones.

Ultra-matte foundations are also the most difficult type to remove. The number of ultra-matte foundations is dwindling, as women have undoubtedly had problems with them. This is unfortunate, as these ingenious formulations can work so well for truly oily skins.

Water-based and standard liquid foundations
These foundations look like a somewhat thick liquid and pour slowly but easily out of the bottle. They are perfect for women with normal to dry skin and the number of foundations fitting this description and performance abound.

Pros: Most water-based foundations provide light to medium coverage and are best for those with normal to dry skin. The oil or emollient part of these foundations gives them good movement, which allows blushes and eyeshadows to blend on effortlessly and evenly over the face. Mistakes are easily buffed away with the sponge.

Cons: If you have oily or combination skin, this is not the foundation type for you. Even the little bit of emollients in a water-based foundation can show shine almost immediately if you have oily skin. For the right skin type, there aren't any disadvantages to using a water-based foundation. This type of foundation is also a great option for women of color. If you are concerned with the small amount of shine that water-based foundations leave behind on the skin, try adding a light dusting of loose powder after you've blended the foundation in place.

Oil-based foundations
Oil-based foundations have oil as their first ingredient and water usually as their second or third ingredient. Oil-based foundations feel greasy and thick, look and go on greasy, yet can blend out quite sheer.

Pros: Oil-based foundations can be very good for women with extremely dry or wrinkled skin. The emollient ingredients help the skin look very dewy and moist, which can minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

Cons: Oil-based foundations tend to be very greasy and/or thick and can look that way on the skin unless you are very adept at blending. They typically provide medium to full coverage and also have a tendency to turn orange on the skin after wearing them for awhile. This is because the extra oil in them affects the pigments in the foundation, causing them to oxidize. Additionally, if you wear face powder over this type of foundation, the oil grabs the talc and the face can appear coated and heavily made up. The same is true for blushes and eyeshadows—they will go on more heavily and will also become darker once applied. Traditional cream blushes tend to work best over this type of foundation.

Pressed powder–based foundation
These foundations come in a compact and perform much like any pressed powder, which is what they really are, only with a bit more coverage and ability to stay put. Almost all of them have a wonderfully creamy, silky feel, but when applied to the skin they blend on as easily as any pressed powder. Most pressed powder foundations provide light to medium coverage.

Pros: Powder-based foundations are great for women with normal to oily or combination skin. They’re convenient, blend on easily, last all day, generally don't change color, and feel light on the skin. They are best for those who want a minimal feel and polished appearance from their foundation. They also work very well over sunscreens, and can help take down the shine some sunscreen ingredients can leave on the skin.

Cons: This is not a good option if you have any amount of flaky skin. The powder content makes this type too drying for someone with dry skin. Also, women with very oily skin might want to be cautious, because powder-based foundations can appear thickened and pooled as oil resurfaces on the face during the day.

Products Worth Trying: Chanel Double Perfection Makeup SPF 8 ($45), Laura Mercier Foundation Powder ($38), and M.A.C. Studiofix Powder Plus Foundation ($23.50).


Cream-to-powder foundations
These foundations are an interesting cross between a pressed powder and a creamy liquid foundation. They come in a compact and have a very creamy, almost greasy, appearance. When you blend them, the creamy aspect disappears and you are left with a slightly matte, powdery finish. Cream-to-powder foundations provide a much broader range of coverage than pressed powder–based foundations.

Pros: Cream-to-powder foundations blend on quickly and easily and provide a semi-matte or powdery finish. They work well for someone with normal to slightly dry or slightly combination skin. This type of foundation doesn't require powdering after you apply it. If you wish to use powder, make sure you apply it as lightly as possible to avoid a caked, heavy look.

Cons: Cream-to-powder foundations can blend on slightly thick, producing a made-up look. They don't work well for someone with oily skin because the cream components can make skin look more oily, and they don't work well for dry skin because the powder element can be too powdery looking and cause more dryness. They are best for normal skin types.

Products Worth Trying: Clarins Soft Touch Rich Compact Foundation ($35), Clinique City Base Compact Foundation SPF 15 ($21), and M.A.C. Studio Tech Foundation ($26).


Liquid-to-powder foundations
These liquidy powders with a gel-like wet feel, apply easily and dry to a satiny-smooth, slightly matte finish. They typically contain water as the first ingredient, along with a slip agent such as glycerin. In contrast to cream-to-powder foundations, liquid-to-powder foundations feel lighter on the skin. They also tend to last longer over combination or oily skins since the creamy, waxy ingredients are either decreased or absent.

Pros: Liquid-to-powder foundations blend on quickly and relatively easily and provide a semi-matte to matte finish with sheer to medium coverage. They work great for someone with normal to oily or slightly combination skin. The consistency doesn't require powdering after you apply it.

Cons: Liquid-to-powder foundations dry quickly and can blend on choppy. This type of foundation does not work well over dry skin, because the water portion tends to cling to dry areas, leaving a powder finish that is not easily moved. The product itself must be kept tightly closed, as the water component will evaporate if it is left exposed to air. Some of the compact liquid-to-powder makeups can break apart if you are not careful.

Stick foundations
These foundations are essentially cream-to-powder foundations in stick form, and the application, pros, and cons mentioned in that section apply here. The main difference between stick and cream-to-powder foundations is that stick foundations come in formulas that range from full to sheer coverage with either matte or creamy coverage. Many stick foundations also feature effective sunscreens, making them great all-in-one options. In addition, they can do double duty as concealer, and most product lines offer a wide selection of shades.

Pros and Cons: Refer to the section for cream-to-powder foundations.

Products Worth Trying: Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick ($36), L'Oreal Quick Stick Long Wearing Foundation SPF 14 ($10.99); and Shiseido The Makeup Stick Foundation SPF 15 ($32).


Sheer Foundations and Tinted Moisturizers
Quite a few of the newest foundations provide coverage that's so sheer, it is barely perceptible on skin. Of course, tinted moisturizers have been around for years, and remain an excellent choice for a touch of color along with moisture and, more often than not, excellent sun protection. For casual weekend makeup, sheer foundation or tinted moisturizers are excellent options for normal to dry or slightly oily skin that does not need significant coverage.

Pros: Sheer foundations and tinted moisturizers are extremely easy to choose and use. The shades are so sheer (some bordering on transparent) that getting the color exactly right is not essential. These are a great way to add a touch of color to pale or sallow skin, and the sheerness prevents a slightly dark or tan-toned shade from looking wrong. For those with normal to slightly dry skin, a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen can serve as their sole morning skin-care product once the cleansing step is done.

Cons: The coverage can be too sheer for those whose flaws are more apparent, including skin discolorations, broken capillaries, dark circles, or birthmarks. Although some sheer foundations have a matte finish, most of them (and most tinted moisturizers) are not for those with oily or breakout-prone skin. If you have a tricky skin tone to match, a sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer may still present problems, and there will be fewer shade options than with standard foundations.

Products Worth Trying: Chanel Voile Universel Ultra-Sheer Makeup SPF 15 ($38.50), Paula's Choice Barely There Sheer Matte Tint SPF 20 ($12.95), and Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 ($28).


Foundations with shine
A definite trend in the world of makeup is having your entire face shine, either with a makeup primer, a foundation or a powder that shines. In real life, full-face shine tends to look sparkly or extremely artificial, and if you have normal to oily skin, it looks like the oil you were trying to do away with. The concept works better as an evening look than for a classic daytime look.

Pros: For dull or dry skin, foundations with shine can indeed add a subtle glow to the face.

Cons: Too much shine can accentuate wrinkles or less-than-perfect skin and can make oily skin look greasy, not glowing. There's a lot of variation when it comes to how much shine you'll get from these products, so choose based on whether you want a subtle glow or high-wattage shimmer.

Self-adjusting foundations
These foundations supposedly stop or claim to control oil production and also prevent moisture loss. I have yet to see one perform as promised, but it would be great if someone ever came up with one that could!


Custom-blended foundations
If a foundation is made for you and you only, will that be your best shade? The premise is that there are only so many ready-made shades so you might be better off having one custom-blended. Unfortunately, the idea sounds better than the reality. The major problem with custom-blended cosmetics is that the success of the match depends on the expertise of the salesperson—and there are huge variations in skill.

As nice as custom-blended foundations sound, the formulations are not necessarily superior to (or sometimes even as good as) standard products. The foundation may be too greasy or too dry and it might turn too rose or peach as you wear it. With so many off-the-shelf foundation products available in many excellent colors, custom blending turns out to be more an expensive gimmick than anything else.

When should you try a custom-blended product, particularly foundation? When you have tested many standard foundations and colors and are still frustrated with the choices. In this instance, bring the foundations you have tried that came close to matching your skin to the counter (such as Prescriptives) where custom-blend foundations are available. Having samples of what didn't work and what came close to matching your skin is a great visual example for the salesperson to work from, thus increasing the odds that you will be happy with the result.

For beautiful yet radiant cheeks apply blush.
STEP 1: Select a color of blush that resembles the natural glow of your cheeks after you exercise. Consider having a lighter color for day, and a darker tone for a more dramatic evening look. Keep your blush in the same color family as your lipstick.
STEP 2: Consider the type of blush best suited to your skin type. Cream blush works very well for drier skin, as it can help to keep skin hydrated. Powder blush is better suited to oily skin.
STEP 3: Complete the application of foundation, powder and all eye makeup before applying blush.
STEP 4: Use a full, round brush for the application of your powder blush, as it will make for a softer and more professional look than the brush that comes with the blush. This should not be the same brush you use to apply your loose powder.
STEP 5: Place a small amount of blush on the brush and gently tap off any excess. Or, place a small amount of cream on your middle finger.
STEP 6: Look in the mirror and smile.
STEP 7: Place powder blush on the apple of your cheek and gently brush up your cheekbone toward your hairline. Dot cream blush beginning at the apple, and gently blend up the cheekbone toward the hairline. STEP 8: Focus your blush at the outside of your face near your hairline if you have a fuller face. For high cheekbones, concentrate blush in the center of your face to accentuate your bones. STEP 9: Blend a little blush down your cheek for a little more natural, less dramatic look. Tips & Warnings
For rosier cheeks, consider gel or liquid tints. Wash your hands after use, as these products may stain the hands.
Remember that the lighter your skin tone, the lighter your blush color should be.
Wash brushes regularly with a makeup remover or nonsoap cleanser.
Avoid following the underside of your cheekbones, which makes for an artificial and unbecoming look.

Eye Makeup:
Almond shaped eyes are considered to be the ideal.So when making up eyes, one tries with the help of light and dark eye makeup to make the necessary changes to give the eyes an almond appearance.
1.Eyeshadow:
Application Technique:
The following steps are followed in the application of eyeshadow shades.
i.Using a fine, blunt-ended brush, gently apply the base colour to the entire lid from the inside to the outside corner and from the base of the lashes to the eyelid crease.
ii.If the eyes need extra definition, a deeper shade is blended into the crease line.This gives depth to the eyes.
iii.The brow bone is highlighted with a light shade.This gives the eyes a wide, open look.The colour is applied to the most prominent area and blended up towards the brow and down to where the contour curves down, toward the eyelid creases.
Before using them on the lids, always test the colours on the back of the hand to test the intensity.You can use even 3-4 colours, provided they are blended well.Remember pale tones emphasize, while deep sooty shades define.

2.Eye Liners:
Application Technique For The Liquid EyeLiner:
Test, on the back of your hand, the amount of pressure you should apply.Unless you are a real artist, it is best to steady your elbow on a flat surface.Work from the inside of the eye to the outside corner and keep the line light and even.If you stop at the corner of the eyes, the effect will be round and wide-eyed;if you continue the line and sweep it up and out, you would get a more exotic look.Finally smudge the edges with a cotton bud to soften them.
Application Technique For The Pencil Eyeliner:
Pencils can be used in the same manner to define or extend the shape of the eyes, but they give a softer, more natural line.Keep them sharpened and ready for use, as blunted or broken points can spoil the whole effect.

3.Mascara:
How To Apply Mascara?
For best results, first look down and brush the top lashes from the roots downwards, then look up and brush the top lashes upwards.Then still looking up, brush colour on the lower lashes.Wait for a minute for them to dry, and similarly apply a second coat.Finally brush with a clean dry brush, to separate the lashes.

Lips!
For lipgloss is quite self-explainitory (sp?).
Lipstick adds the final touch to any makeup application. Lining the lips creates subtle definition and perfects the shape of the lips.
Instructions
STEP 1: Consider your lipstick color and finish. You'll do well with colors that match the natural shade of your lips, opting for darker tones that complement your overall coloring. Matte lipsticks offer a muted finish complementary to workday makeup, while satin and gloss finishes offer appealing evening looks.
STEP 2: Apply all other makeup before putting on lipstick and lip liner.
STEP 3: Begin by dabbing on a very small amount of lip balm or petroleum jelly to give your lips a little moisture.
STEP 4: Draw a thin line along the edge of your lips with a lip liner whose color is one shade darker than your lipstick. Start at the center of the upper lip and work outward. Hug the very outer edges to open up thin lips, and line well within the edges to downplay excessively full lips.
STEP 5: Apply lipstick from the tube or by using a firm, small lipstick brush. Coat the lips evenly. Pay special attention to staying within the lips' edges.
STEP 6: Blot to remove any excess color and to even out the texture.
STEP 7: Remember to touch lips up after a meal, as lipstick easily transfers onto coffee cups, water bottles and soda cans. Tips & Warnings
For longer-lasting lip color, shade both lips with lip liner after defining them. As lipstick fades throughout the day, the liner offers a hint of color before you have a chance to reapply.
Balance heavy eye makeup with a soft lip color. Wear a rich and boldly colored lipstick to complement soft eye makeup.
Give the illusion of a thicker top lip by lining its outermost edges and foregoing liner on the bottom lip.
Chill lip liner for easier sharpening.
Forego lipstick if you have a cold sore. Opt instead for a camphor-based lip balm to aid in healing.

But if I were you I would stick with lip-gloss for its alot cheaper and in my perspective its far more radiant!

For great brands that I would consider you using that could be easily found in walmart. I recommend covergirl, neutrogena, and almay. If I were you I would go to some of the selected websites and get a color consultation based upon your coloring. They can give you better advice, and the best make-up based upon your perspective. Remember you must have only one feature to play up on...whether its your eyes, cheeks, or lips. Choose only one, such as your eyes and have your cheeks and lips be in a neutral color. For if you play up on all of your features you will look fake, and not as beautiful as you truly are!

I hope the following information helps. I know how it feels to start at a new school. But you got it the worst of them all for you've been homeschooled. Your nervous about what others will think of you and so forth. But when your done with all of this remember that it doesn't matter how much make-up you wear, what name-brands you shop at. Don't change for anyone. If your going to change, change for yourself, and yourself only. I remember you said something about not having friends...well you got one now. If you have anymore questions don't be afraid to ask. You may email me at [e-mail]. Have a great day!
