Makeup
I have no idea how to apply makeup, like foundation and powder or whatever...I'm 16 and I feel like its time to learn. I can do my eyes, but my face there just seems like so many steps and it confuses me! Can anyone explain for me how you do it and what you need and such on so forth?

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
1. Begin with clean hands and a clean face.
2. Apply moisturizer appropriate to your skin type. Let it set a few minutes, particularly if your skin is oily.
3. Camouflage under-eye circles and blemishes with concealer.
4. Select a foundation that is appropriate to your skin type and the coverage you wish to achieve. The color should match your skin, disappearing when blended well.
5. Shake the bottle well to mix the formula. Or, simply open a stick or compact version.
6. Place a small amount of foundation on the back of one hand. Dip your makeup sponge or your middle finger into it.
7. Apply to the center of your face: cheeks, forehead, chin.
8. Blend out to your hair and jawline until the foundation vanishes. Pay special attention to blending around the nose, mouth and jawline.
9. Set the foundation with loose powder immediately following application.

if you are going to use foundation or powder, always try to get the color that best matches your skin. when you apply it wash your face before and put a little mosturizer on your face and put on the foundation/powder.. and blend it in so it doesnt seem like you have a blotchy spot here and there .. also say you have a pimple or something use concealer and then put the foundation on top! or you can do the other way around
hope i helped and good luck!

Here are a few tips...
Always wash you face really well before applying makeup. If you have a good complexion then you do not need foundation. (This includes having a few pimples, for those you just take a little dap of coverup, or even some foundation, and cover the problem area. Blot it out with your finger after you let it dry a little.) After your face is washed and and blemishes you may have at the time are taken care of liberally apply loose powder over your entire face. This should take care of any remaining inconsistancies. After this you do you eyes, which are the hard part. I have a few tips for those too, even though you have it down already, it can never hurt to improve. Put the lighter shade of eyeshadow on your eye from lashes almost to the eyebrows. apply the darker shade only from lashes to the middle of your eye. Using your finger, blend the two colors in the middle (This is a very important step, especially with unatural colors like blues, greens etc. I myself like to stick with natural tones, browns, and gold/bronze colors, but it depends on your taste and what you feel comfortable with.) Take the 'white' color eyeshadow and apply a little under the eyebrow, blend it with your background color. If you want you can then apply eyeliner and masscare (please go easy on these two, the point of makeup is to enhance your facial features, not hide them!) Also be careful not to het a eyeliner or masscare that your alergic to! That causes some majur issues, trust me! Lastly, the lipstick! I don't even wear lipstick most of the time as i find it aggravating and a major source of hair in my mouth when i wear my hair down. But for the lovers of the stick, put some on your upper and bottom lip and then rub them together. If your like me and despise your hair sticking to you lips, try one of those drying lipsticks (you know the 12 hour won't come off kind) , they're like hell trying to get off, but by god your hair will not stick to your lips.
hope this helps

Don't learn to wear makeup just for the sake of wearing makeup. The less makeup you wear, the more attractive and natural you will look. At 16, you don't need to wear powder and foundation unless you are performing on stage. But if you think you must learn, go to www.pharmaprix.com. There are colored tabs on the top of the page. Click on "Beauty" and you can go from there.

The less makeup you wear, the better! It's not good for your skin to wear a ton of makeup, so if you can get away without putting on foundation, it's much better for you.
As long as you know how to do your eyes, you should be fine!
