I need step by step help with my make up, with everything from foundation, to eyeliner to eyeshadow, blush....everything! Please help! thank you so much
Eyeliner - use either black or brown eyeliner. Use the twist up eyeliner not the wooden stick thing. You will apply the eyeliner right above your bottom lashes. You can apply it above the top lashes but i couldnt tell you how to do that because i dont apply it there.
eyeshadow - it kindof depends on your eye color. but i would deff. just stick to natural color like your browns & tans.
at the bottom is a link to actually watch the steps about how to do each section as oppsosed to just reading it. To do it all it takes literally only about 5 to 6 minutes

For foundation, use a shade that matches your skin tone. Depending on your skin type, choose either a water-base (Like Maybelline.Pure) or a whipped foundation, good for dry/combination skin (there's a few different brands nowadays). You can either apply it as concealer in certain spots, or over your whole face.
Eyeliner:
Eyeliner can be applied a ton of different ways. Experiment with liquid and pencil, since some people prefer one over the other. Usually, it's put along your lash line, and depending on the effect you're going for, put either a thin line or a bold line.
Mascara:
Mascara is easier to put on than it looks- you just put the brush at the bottom of your lashes, then pull it up slowly. It's hard to explain, but you'll get the hang of it :)
Eyeshadow:
Certain colors go better with certain eye colors. Green eyes look good with green-ish tones, blue eyes with blue, gray, and silver, hazel and brown eyes look best with browns, whites, and purples. Pink also goes with browns. If you want the eyeshadow to pop (instead of your eye color) wear a really bright cream shadow, or a crazy-colored shadow.
Lips:
It's best to either accentuate your eyes OR your lips, not both. For most days, a sheer-colored gloss or lip balm will do.
Blush:
After you put on foundation, smile. The apples of your cheeks is the best place top apply blush. Blend it well so you don't end up with a scary-doll effect.
And that's pretty much it! For touch-ups during the day, use either pressed or loose powder.
caramella answered Monday August 14 2006, 7:10 am: ok,first you start of by applying foundation the same color as your skin tone over your whole face,even above your eyelids.look in the mirror and smile,see these cheeks that pop out?THATS where you put blush.Then you can now start with the eyeshadow.But eyeshadow depends on your eye color.If you have brown eyes,you should use any shades of purple,beige,light brown,gold,silver
light pink.If you have black eyes,use light green,silver,white.If you have blue eyes use Light blue,white,silver,black.If you have green eyes use brown or gold shades.Hazel eyes would look good with brown and gold also.Say you have brown eyes.You will apply a shade of light beige on the entire eye.Then you put a medium tone beige on the bottom lid.Above that,but under your eyebrow bone use a darker tone of beige.Then on your brow bone leave the light beige you used to cover your entire eye.Now you have the eyeshadow looking like its medium on the bottom then gets darker.For the eyeliner,if you want your eyes bigger,apply eyeliner on the bottom of your bottom lashes,if you want your eyes smaller,put it on the top of your bottom your eyelashes.For the lip colors,if you want lashes.Mascara makes your eyelashes look thicker and longer.Just use mascara as if youre combing your lips bigger,then define them with lipliner.If you have on a lot of eyeshadow,then you shouldnt have on a lot of lipstick and vice versa.
