When I was a teenager, I wasn’t allowed to mess around with make-up at all and I am thinking almost every Pakistani would know why. Now, I’m 22 and, believe it or not, still a virgin in terms of make-up. Another big reason was also my severe acne which I dealt with while growing up and still get break-outs. Now, when I see pretty faces, I am also very much wanting to try my hands on make-up . I mean, heck, I don’t even know how to apply mascara properly and let’s just forget about the mess I made while trying eyeliner one day.
So, all you make-up savvies, start loading me up with tips and techniques that I can use and. Some questions that are in my mind are:
What are the basic tools/products that I must have and without which I cannot move forward?
Nobody has seen me with any trace of make-up before and I would rather not shock them with a thopified look. How do I achieve a natural look?
If you have acne prone skin and sensitive, do not pile on a ton of makeup. It will make it worse.
Start out small...with a good powder foundation that offers decent coverage to hide small flaws without making you look too made up.
I cannot stand foundation and concealor so I recently started using Christian Dior's Skinflash. This is an illuminator so it doesnt go on heavy at all...very light and simply brightens your complexion which is what I love about it. It was a recommendation from one of our GS girls and a great one at that! I would never have found it by myself because there is SO much product out there. All thanks go to stoppit!!
Make sure you follow and maintain a good skin care regimen so your skin gets to breathe. This is important for you if you want to continue to wear makeup.
Buy a good mascara - I use Loreal Voluminous and/or Lancome Definicils
Lip gloss - a soft color - maybe a pinkish one
Blush is good BUT please be careful with it! All too often people make what I call a racing stripe across their face and its so bad looking! Blush is meant to make you glow - not radiate! LOL.
