Need A LOT of help with makeup application?

Alright so I'm seventeen and I've been using makeup for about 2 years. I've been trying to get that ';flawless'; face look, and i just can't. I've tried liquid foundation and now I'm planning to try mineral makeup from everyday minerals.





BASICALLY, what I want to know is how do I go about applying my makeup so it looks natural? How do I prep my skin, like what's a moisturizer, a toner and a primer? and do i use all three? what are the best brands that i get get at a local drug store or walmart/target?


is there any good liquid foundation out there that has a variety of colors? I have some blemishes so what's the best concealer?





i know I have a lot of questions so any help would be appreciatedNeed A LOT of help with makeup application?
The best way to prep your skin is to simply wash it with a face scrub. Pat it dry with a towel, and apply toner (makes your face brighter and refreshed) to your face and neck with a cotton ball. Just take the bottle and put some toner on the cotton ball (like you do with nail-polish remover). Then apply moisturizer (a lotion) to your face. You can use L'Oreal Futur-E; that's what I have, with SPF of at least 15.





Some good brand you can get at Walmart or Target (or CVS which has more variety) is probably REVLON, MAYBELLINE, RIMMEL, COVERGIRL, L'OREAL, ALMAY, N.Y.C., and tons more.





A good liquid foundation would probably be a REVLON or L'OREAL one because those brands are pretty popular AND affordable. Same with concealer (REVLON %26amp; L'OREAL)





To apply makeup, you can go to www.youtube.com to see different ways to put makeup on. For example, I learned how to apply blush from the tutorials that were provided.





Good luck and stay beautiful! =]Need A LOT of help with makeup application?
mosterizer is a face lotion get one tha tis oil free


toner closes up your pores so it doesnt get clogged by the make-up


primer is what you put on after the mosterizer and toner to keep your make on longer





i personally looooove:


covergirl for foundation(aqua smoothers)


almay for coverup(the one made for zits)


maybelline for loose powder, cream blush, and mascara
If you are going to go for the flawless look, good skincare is an absolute must. You definitely need a cleanser, but I prefer a soap-free one. I don't use toners, because all they do is strip all the oil off your skin-I prefer a nice scrub, as it strips excess oil but also helps get dead skin off and helps to clear out pores. Finally you want a good moisturizer, and you want to use a high SPF sunscreen every morning so that you can protect your skin from environmental damage. A primer is something that you put on after a moisturizer, or sometimes in place of a moisturizer. It helps to get the face ready for makeup application, so there are a lot of different ones-primers for shine control, for colour correction, and so forth. Primer is absolutely essential when you are doing mineral makeup.





When it comes to foundation, the technique and brush you use is very important. To get a flawless look, the best thing to do is get a little bit of liquid foundation on your hand, and then dip a stippling brush (one of the brushes that is black-fibered but with white tips-ULTA and Sephora have some, but the most famous is the MAC 187) into it. Tap it gently on the face, and then blend it all together. Also NEVER apply foundation before you do your eye makeup, as you can sometimes get what I call ';fallout'; from applying the eye colours and it's a lot easier to clean that up and do your whole face after the eyes, as opposed to having to do parts of the face twice.





As far as your best drugstore brand goes, the only one that I really trust is Revlon.
hi.


i love make up i think its the most creative thing you can do to your personal appearance there is soo much to do... when your applying make up and it turns out blotchy and uneven try exfoliating with a granule exfoliater 2 times a week this removes any form of dead skin...


always use a moisturiser toner and eye gel before applying make up it will go on so much easier but make sure its fully soaked in... this could be another reason your make up isnt being flawless because your skin may be dehydrated.





i think the best concealer for blemishes (if they are red) a green concealer.. the green colour cuts out the red just try not to get it on your skin that isnt red and blend it in well with a sponge or your fingers. and use a concealor under your eyes too to cover any shaddows this will also help even skin tone out.





i recommend loreal colour match you can get from department stores


and the lady behind the counter should be able to recognise your skin type and match you with a colour that best fits your skins tones.





hope this helps :)
