I need a professional to show me how to do my makeup right. What sohould I do? I dont have much money either?

Foundation is tricky, if and when you buy some, get liquid and dab a bit on your hand and rub it in, that will tell you if it's too dark, too light, or if it blends in nicely to your skin. Oil free is nice because it does not leave a sheen on your skin. Apply a small dab to the middle of your forehead, nose, both cheeks, and chin and rub in. Do NOT stop just at the face, bring the foundation down onto your neck lightly, so you wont look like you're wearing a mask.





Blush is also tricky, try not to get too light or too dark, one will make you look sunburned, the other will make your face look washed out and Clownish. Try to get a color that works for you. When you apply it, smile, the puffy apple part of your cheek is what you lightly apply blush to. Go from the nose side of your cheek and blend it back toward your hair line.





Eyeshadow is easier, since you are tight on money, buy the basics, browns, greens *usually has some blue in the compacts*, blue *if green doesnt have any in it*. Depending on your eyes you will want to apply it differently. If you have small eyes, do not go too dark on the lids, this will make your eyes look smaller. You will want to do a lighter set of colors. If your eyes are bigger, then you can get away with a darker color, not black, but a navy blue, teal, or a chocolate brown. If your eyes are brown, you can get away with, Brown or Plum eyeshadow without looking funny. Green eyes get Green or blue. And blue eyes get blue's or silvery whites. Just depends on what you want to get.


~When applying eyeshadow, use a medium color, somewhere between the dark and light you have and apply it from the lash to the brow. Now take the darkest color and apply it from the creases of your eye to the center, to the fold that folds in when you open your eye. Now take the lightest color and apply it barely above your lashline and up on the brow that shows.





Eyeliner not a necessity, but if you want it, i'd go with a grey. Blue's tend to stand out quite a bit, and black is good, but it's dark. Use a coal grey, it's simply to darken the eye, not hide it. When using eyeliner, do not cover the whole eye, on the bottom lid go about half way from the outer corner of your eye. On the upper lid do a thin line in the lash line to complete the look.





Mascara, again not a necessity, but if you want it, then i'd recommend something waterproof, that way if it rains, or you cry, you wont get black lines down your face. Mascara apply to all of the top lid, and on the bottom do it from the outside to about the middle.





Lipstick, Not a Necessity!! You can buy some chapstick, or lip gloss and accentuate your lips as they are. Buuut if you do want lipstick, go with something basic. Something close to your lip tone. Not too dark or too light. Dark makes you look washed out, and light makes you look sick.





Hope this helps!I need a professional to show me how to do my makeup right. What sohould I do? I dont have much money either?

You can go to a make-up counter in a department store %26amp; they usually will make your face for free %26amp; give you instructions on how to do it. Good luck. 2D
you can go to a make up counter and get your make up done and just buy one of the products they use on you.
i live in VA blacksburg
Try going to your local department store to one of the make up counters... or if you have a sephora store i n your local mall you can try on the make up there and you can have them help you out if you need it and it is free... they have samples everywhere and you dont have to buy anything if you dont like it.
you dont need to spend money or alot of money for a professional to help you. just visit a local makeup counter and try out somethings. tell them what you are looking for in makeup and what kind of skin you have. they will be more than happy to assist you. if you are looking for something dramatic and hip, go with Mac if you can afford it. if you want something natural and subtle, stick with loreal, prescriptives or clinique. there are other good brands on the market you just have to try them out.
