How to start with make up?

Hi, I just turned 15. I never really thought much about make up but recently I’ve been looking around in drugstores and I want to start wearing make up. I have NO clue where to start, I don’t know what primer is or what it’s used for, totally clueless. I only ever thought that a make up brush is a make up brush yada yada. I never knew there were different kinds! Yes, I tried asking my mom and she doesn’t wear a lot of make up so I ended up looking practically like a clown. I was just wondering, should I start getting all the blemishes off my face? How do I get rid of acne scars? and what brand of make up is best for a beginner? MAC? Covergirl? The Body Shop (is their make up good?) HELP! Thank you so much for your time and effort!

Answer #1

What you need: Brushes:Eyeshadow (usually come with the eyeshadow so you can use those) Blush (don’t use the ones in the container)its a big poofy bristled brush Foundation:Concealer (only use a little it goes a long way!!!) and True Blend foundation (it matches almost ANY skin tone and at Wal-Mart they have a skin test thingy station. I’m a 3 lol) Eye shadow/mascara: you know those light metallics little things they advertise on t.v.? Well get that according to your eye color (it says on the package) I would advise if you have brown or blue eyes to get extra mascara like by itself to put on AFTER you use the mascara in the package. I have brown eyes and when I used it the eyeshadow worked but the mascara didnt. Use Cover Girl. It’s cheap and it works good!!! Get Neutrogena Make-up removing cloths. They are sold with the acne washes/creams in Wal-Mart. I hope it looks okay!!! If I can find one, I’ll post a pic of my little cousin. She has blonde hair blue eyes and I do her PAGEANT make-up. Not with these products but with her products. She is HIGH GLITZ!! bow bow lol! Any more ?’s feel free to ask!!!

Answer #2

If your 15 you should only use mascara, lip gloss & a touch of bronzer or blush. Dont use foundation if your skin is still breaking out. Primer would be good for you to use daily. Put it on after you wash your face & before you put on moisturizer

Answer #3

rimmel’s are really good (watch out though especially for the brush of the mascara) and they’re not so pricey…

Answer #4

Well I use Avon, but that can get pretty pricey, so I would say using Covergirl would be the best. I usually only use foundation, eyeliner, and a bit of eyeshadow. Lipgloss is also fun. For blemishes I use concealer which is just like really thick foundation, which helps a lot. If you have any other questions just ask :D

Answer #5

Well, I first started with mascara (covergirl lashblast) and then some lip gloss along with it a few months later. But I never wore any of that foundation stuff or anything. If I have a pimple, I use a spot treatment. And for acne, personally, I use ProActiv. It works real good. I also used the Neutrogena Face Wash in Pink Grapefruit. I got the cleanser and the scrub. I used the scrub in the shower because that’s when your pores are open the most, and I used the scrub only about 1 or 2 a week. But I used the cleanser everyday. Hope I Helped!
