I am a 20 year old female, and I am a great listener. My friends always come to me for advice, and you can too. Ask me whatever you want, I will be happy to try to help you with ANY problem or dilemna. I will do my best to give you a great answer. Whatever you ask, I will never judge or make fun of you - I will be honest and respectful with you, telling you my advice with a kind and rational answer. I have traveled all over, had many unique opportunities and experiences, and have great friends from many different places all over the world. All the traveling has taught me a lot about different kinds of people and I have gained a lot of insight and perspective throughout it all. I'd like to think that some of what I have learned will be helpful to other people, and that I can offer advice that takes into account all that I have come across in my 20 years, both from my experiences and the experiences of those around me. I was also an elite athlete, so I have some experience in fitness/training/health questions as well. Thanks for visiting my column! Have a fantastic day!!

Since you are just starting to use it, start off slow, you don't want to cake a ton of it on and look silly. Here's a list of just some of the 'basic essentials' that every girl should have.
-A foundation or powder (depending on your skin type) that matches your skin tone.
-A blush, along with a good blush brush.
-Mascara, I would reccommend black, it really opens up your eyes and looks good on everyone.
-A black or brown eyeliner.
-A neutral eyeshadaw.
-Lipgloss.
Right now, your probably want to just go for a natural, pretty look, so this is what I would do. Put your facial lotion on first, then put on your foundation or powder. After that, put on a light colored, pinkish blush using upward strokes on the roundest part of your cheeks toward your hairline. Don't use a circular motion unless you want little clown circles on your cheeks. I would do your eyes next... First, apply a sheer, neutral color, like an ivory or shimmery beige all over your eyelid, from lashes to eyebrow. Then, keeping your eyes open, apply a slightly darker color (only a few shades darker, for example if you were using a creamy color first, use a very light brown for this part) just in the crease of your eye. This will give your eyes some depth and open them up a little. If you want to use eyeliner, draw a THIN line along your top lashes, and then maybe underneath as well, if you want. I wouldn't go overboard with the bottom eyeliner just yet though, since that would be a very dramatic change, so if I were you, I would work your way up to wearing more makeup. Put your mascara on top AND bottom lashes, add a cute lipgloss, and ta-da...can you say BEAUTIFUL?
Here are some brands I would reccommend... until you know what kind of makeup you like best, color wise, and such, I wouldn't buy expensive stuff. Play around and experiment for awhile, and you will figure out a makeup routine that works for you. Just go to a supermarket, or drug store and try out Covergirl, or Maybelline, or something like that...maybe Revlon, it really doesn't matter. They all have good makeup, and aren't too costly. Just one tip on mascara, though... I've found Maybelline to be have the best mascara that you can get without going to a more expensive brand. While you are still experimenting, get some eyeshadows that come with a bunch of different colors in one compact. That way you can see what color works best with your eyes. I hope this helped...I have alot of experience with makeup, application of makeup, and different brands, so leave me a message in my inbox if you want any more help. If you want, you could let me know your skin type, and the colors of your eyes, and I could give you some pointers on what colors would probably work best for you. Good luck, and have fun!
