Answer 1

The basis of a great makeup look is to have natural and flawless skin, because this is pretty much the canvas you're going to be working on.
- If you skin is not that bad, I suggest a tinted moisturizer like Neutrogena's Sheer Tinted Foundation ($11).
- If you would like a bit more coverage however, opt for a liquid foundation applied with a damp sponge. My personal fav is Loreal TruMatch ($11) or Covergirls TrueBlend whipped foundation ($10). The damp makeup sponge really helps to make the foundation go on smooth and extremely sheer.
- As well, if you have any problem areas like blemishes and undereye circles, dab and pat on a bit of concealer, like Revlon Color Stay concealer ($10). *****By the way, these products are all OIL-FREE and NON-COMEDOGENIC (won't clog pores), so you don't have to worry about them causing breakouts.*****
- I also think that a touch of blush and bronzer will create that "sun kissed" glow. Physicians Formula Mosaic Bronzer and Blush ($18 each) do wonders for all sorts of skintones so I definetly recommend it - just make sure you apply the powder with a big fluffy brush. You'll be amazed how natural and luminous you look with a bit of color on your cheeks.
-For your eyes, I think you should put some white eyeliner on the inner rims of your eyes to make your eyes appear even more larger and apply mascara on the top lashes only. (My fav pick is Maybelline Sky Curves Mascara ($7)). This trick will definetly make you more bright-eyed without looking like you put on any makeup.
-Then for your lips, apply a neutral lip liner around your lips and fill it in. I use Revlon Colorstay Lipliner in Nude ($10). Then top it off with a clear gloss to make lips appear luscious.
***If you think that this is a lot of products, just remind yourself that you only need these 4 basic essentials: foundation, blush, mascara, and lip gloss. Once you have these, you have created the perfect natural you!

- As for your hair, try using ultra-moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to hydrate the hair cuticles and use anti-frizz serums to relax your hair (products from Pantene are excellent).
- Also, get a hair cut to snip off any damaged split ends that may be causing some of this unnessary frizz. If you can, ask your hairdresser to cut a style that will best cooperate with your hair texture. Working WITH the texture is a heck of a lot more easier than working against it.
- And by the way, your hair is not what causes the oiliness. It is your scalp that releases these oils. Therefore when shampooing, make sure you concentrate on sudsing up on the roots and scalp to get rid of the residue, and when conditioning, focus on the ends of the hair shaft instead. Do you get what I mean?
- And whenever you try to style your hair with heating tools, make sure you put in a light leave-in conditioner and heat protectant spray (such as Infusium 23 Leave in Conditioner ($6) or Treseme Heat Protectant ($4)) to prevent any frizz from occuring.
- As well, stay far from volumizers or any products with alcohol as this may cause more frizziness!
**********Hope this helps!

I went to yaur 360 and let me just say you are a very pretty young lady you dont really need make up I would suggest having your eye brows shaped and just use a littlke eye shadow in natural colors I would have to say your eyes re your best feature and its always fun to enhance natural beauty. Dont go over board but a little lip gloss would be nice too. And as far as your hair get a shampoo with tea tree oil it helps for exsessivly oily hair and use a moisturizing conditioner.

Answer 3

From your picture, you look beautiful already! You don't need make-up on a daily basis. I understand wanting to amp things up for a special night, though. Just try some thickening or lengthening mascara (black, of course) and just a tad of black eye liner to open the eyes. Clear gloss on the lips is always good, too. Just make sure you don't get the sticky kind.

As for your hair, a straight iron changed my life.....no kidding. I had the biggest problem with frizz, but using the iron helped sooooo much. Also, make sure you use conditioner and stay hydrated. Other posters have given you some wonderful brands to use.

Have fun playing with your new make up tricks!

Answer 4

For your hair try Marc Anthony products at CVS. I used to use salon products that cost an arm and a leg until I was away and forgot my stuff and tried it because it was the only store around and I will never go back to the salon for anything else.

Go to marykay.com and try the virtual makeover. It is a lot of fun and the application tips are amazing. You should find a consultant and ask for a 1 on 1 facial and they will let you try everything for free. These consultants are well trained in skin care and the stuff is great so treat yourself to a pampering session.
