    Make up is foundation, concealor, powder, eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss, lip stick, blush, eyeshadow.

    Foundation - Goes on face to even out skin tone

    Conealor - Goes on after foundation if needed, same as foundation but a little thicker to cover blemishes and under eye circles.

    -Powder used to blot of face on areas like the chin or forehead so it doesnt look oily

    -eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara - all eye make up...

    the rest is self explainitory.

    Go to a beauty department for a free make up tutorial.

    I am 36 and I don't use make up.

    By the way I look 26 is what I been told.

    Make up is a lotion that is almost the skin color and is to cover up imperfections in the skin face. That's all.

    So don't worry about using it.

    If you do have a fare skin color not much of imperfections scars etc.

    Then just use the eye liner lipstick and that's is what you need a little.

    I always seem that when a girl use too much Make up they look ugly and older.

    Because It covers the natural skin color,

    Eventually that person won't like to go out of her house with out make up.

    And the skin get pale.

    The more natural you go the best you will look.

    well if u never used makeup at all, i recommendbuying some good products and just practicing at first. u should start off w/ off moisturizer, then curl ur lashes and use mascara, a little blush which should be placed on ur cheekbones, and some lip gloss and ur good to go. its really not tht hard, u just need to find the perfect look for u tht u love and feel comfortable with. if you want to go more dramatic w/ ur makeup and think ur a quick learner, go to the mall and ask a makeup artist to teach u some tricks and help u out w/ ur makeup

    Start with eyeshadow and blush before you try anything else. 1.Find a shadow that complements your eyes (gold tone eyeshadow will work for basicly anyone). Use the wand it comes with to sweep it across you eyelid (only go from your lashed uo to the crease). (p.s. look for CoverGirl brand at walmart)

    2.Get a Covergirl blush (if you have light to medium skin look for "rose" shades). Buy a large powder/blush brush and use it to sweep a medium amount across your cheekbones starting next to your nose.

    Hope this helps!!

    It is really self explanatory, eye shadow goes on your eyelids,mascara goes o your eyelashes, cover up covers up blemishes but just go to the mall and JCPenny and Belk usually do that kind of stuff
