try &keep it natural, since you already have a ton of make up on!
if this didn`t help you can always set up a color consulation at your nearest sephora. or ask me a question on my column.
PS don`t go for the pricey brands like chanel, ysl &mac. i went for them & they all chalk up. but also don`t buy drug store make up, that also doesn`t always promise real good quality. try benefit, it`s great. or sephora`s brand. [ cronaldox3's advice column | Ask cronaldox3 A Question ]

LM answered Wednesday April 18 2007, 6:01 pm: I think you should start out with:
- a good foundation (Maybelline has some great ones and they're relatively inexpensive)
- pressed or loose powder
-concealer
-an eyeshadow trio or quad that compliments your eye color
- eyeliner (black to start with)
-mascara
- & a lipgloss or two.
You may also want a moisturizer made spcifically for your face, since it makes your skin more even (and makes foundation look more natural)
Order doesn't really matter much. Everyone has their own little routine. I do my foundation first, since it takes me the longest. Then I do my mascara, since it makes your eyes pop. Plus, you'll use less eyeshadow. And if you mess up mascara and have to take it off, you won't take off any eyeshadow and you'll waste less time. Know what I mean?
Lastly, clean the brushes that come with eyeshadow about twice a month. YOu may even want to buy a separate brush. Target makes really nice makeup brushes that are really inexpensive, too. Sephora has professional ones, but you'll pay a lot more for them. Mascara should be replaced every 4 months or so, or as it gets clumpy or dry.
