Tomorrow, I am going to the mall with my friends to get some makeup. I am planning on getting some face makeup from sephora. I'm sort of a newbie with makeup, haha. These are what I am planning to buy
-foundation
-green concealer
-concealer
-powder
-primer
-Moisturizer??(maybe)

I also need help with how to put on each of the makeup, and what type of concealer I should use (Stick, tube, Pot, pencil, Wand, Etc)
and if you recommend any makeup brands, that would be great! (money is not a problem)

First off dot waste ur money on a Sephora brand/High end moisturizer. The drugstore is always ur best choice for skin care cuz its hella cheap and most of the time you can find so much selection and they work.

Best tip is to go get your foundation matched because I HAAAATE seeing girls that wear foundation 2/3 shades darker or lighter than their skin, so ask the lady to help you get matched. You can get great drugstore powders such as the Rimmel Stay Matte powder which is great, but if not, try and stick with a translucent or colorless powder so you can apply it throughout the day is you get oily without looking cakey.

And primer is not super necessary but if you think you need your makeup to stay on for a long time, sure. Concealer types are really optional, just whatever you think is easier to apply and won't take too long. Always blend out and don't use TOO much or you'll look crazy lol. Lastly, get a few brushes to help you out, drugstore can be good for that. Double sided foundation/concealer brush is good. And don't get sucked into the crazy high end makeup stuff because the prices are crazy and trust me there's soooo many drugstore or cheaper options that work waaayyy better. Good luck :)

Well primer for the face is an efficient thing to off with. It sincerely creates a delicate canvas for your face for the makeup you are about to apply.(It also moisturizes dry skin) It helps your make-up stay in position and final longer. After making use of primer to your face i'd go forward and transfer onto a concealer(be certain the tone of the concealer is 2 tones lighter than your possess epidermis)and begin dabbing some of your concealer onto any blemishes , acne, pink areas , or under your eyes to quilt up these dark circles if in case you have any. Then you would take a brush or your fingers and start mixing within the concealer into your skin.While you combo within the concealer under your eyes simply take the tip of your finger and roll it from side to side over the concealer. After you're finished with the concealer you would observe a liquid or powder basis. For those who use a liquid foundation you might surely use your fingers but i'd use a groundwork brush. ^_^;. Make sure your basis is your dermis tone. You will have to practice it to your neck to be certain that your neck and face are the identical colour. Just probably follow it over the neck you are not looking for a lot. After you are done applying concealer and foundation onto your face i might then take a blending brush to combination the whole thing in to get rid of any harsh edges. You should be equipped to get primers, concealers, and foundations at your neighborhood drugstore. L'Oreal, Maybelline, and Revlon are all nice drugstore brands.

I dont know how good your skin is, but here are some of my favs.I dont personally prefer green concealers so i dont have any recommendations. Also PLEASE make sure you get color matched so you don look stupid with makeup that is waaay to light/dark for you. Btw im fifteen and this is what i like, but ii do have trouble skin.



1. Benefit Pore-fessionals primer

2. Benefit erase paste or boing concealer

3. Bare minerals mineral veil powder (setting Powder)

4. Bare minerals foundation (if you have good skin)

or

Laura Mercier silk cream foundation (trouble skin)

or

Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (good skin)

5. I don use high-end powder. I heard that the Smashbox hd powder is good. I use the rimmel pressed powder and its amazing!

i would use wand concealer it blends so nice and easily :)

i love the makeup forever hd foundation

definitely get a good moisturizer if you dont have one, because putting foundation on dry skin is one of the worst things ever

primer isnt always necessary its more like a luxury to me but if you want to try it out then do:)

if u have any redness on ur face definitely get green concealer!!omg that stuff works like magic





goodluck:)
