so i don't really wear alot of makeup and mainly because i dont have the right makeup and or i don't know how to apply it haha lame i know, and well i really want to get into wearing makeup
okay but for christmas i get to get all new MAC makeup and everythingg so im physced but im scared that i won't know how to apply it and look like a complete mess and will buy the wrong things. so basically what's the very first step on putting everything on and stuff. my friend says i only need powders because i have good skin, but i dont know. Should i only use bronzer and the compact? But i want my skin to look smooth and not all powdery.
ANY HAIR COLOR/ EYE COLOR:
- dont put mascara on the bottom eyelashes it looks messy
- dont put a dark color underneath your eyebrows, it looks too much ( unless thats what your tying to go for )
if you are BRUNETTE ( with any color eyes)
- Do Not wear Brown eye liner. It doesn't look good.
-Good eye shadow colors would be blues, purples, very light shades of brown/gold,pink
if you are a BLONDE ( brown eyes )
- You can wear black or brown eye shadow
- You can wear Brown eyeshadow, but you need to apply it the right way, it might look weird if you dont apply it like right
- Best eyeshadow colors would be : pink, blue, sparkely white

Eyeshdaow wise- I would try neutral colors, like beiges, browns, tans, etc. Maybe even some light olive greens or blues. I'd avoid pink/purples/oranges. I'd also say to wear eyeliner just like you have it in the picture. Not a lot, less is more. Try a brownish-black shade.
For your skin- I just got this really great foundation or something. (I'm not to skin make up educated.) It's not MAC, but it works just as good. It's CoverGirl 'Clean Makeup' It's in a glass bottle shaped like a triangle with a blue cap. Check it out, it works pretty well. Then use some bronzer, and I'm sure your skin will look gorgeous.

So bascially, I can't tell you if you need foundation or just powder. And I can't tell you what eyeshadow would look best.
What I can tell you is to not go overboard. Buy like shades of eyeshadow, and light colored blush, etc. Because if one day you didn't wear any makeup, and the next you wore a shit load, you would look strange.
Try this for starters:
Ask someone working in the makeup department what color foundation you need or if you need any at all. Same for powder. Then buy a somewhat pinky colored shade of blush. Buy eyeshadow with different hues, and MAC should explain on the back how to use it. What color goes where (crease, lid, etc). After that just buy a black eyeliner pencil, and mascara. That's all you need. Maybe ask your mom for help on how to wear it. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
