First, consider your coloring or skin tone. Are you warm or cool? Go to a beauty counter of your favorite department store and you can get free advise from an experienced beauty advisor. The best way to play it safe is to use colors in the neutral shade. Study the basic color wheel to understand color theory. It takes a few minutes to look it up online. When you choose your makeup shade, bear in mind the color of dress you will be wearing so you will look put together.
To accent your eyes, highlight brow bone and lid with a light shadow. Contour with darker color the crease area just above your lid to create eye definition. If you have good skin, foundation is not necessary. Nowadays, powder mineral make-up provides coverage but creates a soft natural look. Use that as an all-over powder and then use bronzer with a little color for your cheeks. Add a layer of mascara, rim your eyes with kohl pencil softly smudged to avoid a harsh line. Lastly, apply colored lip gloss. You can do this in 15 minutes and you can be out the door looking pretty and nice. [ fromExperience's advice column | Ask fromExperience A Question ]
