So here’s the thing, I don’t really know how to do makeup. As a consequence I don’t really wear anything. I’d love to be more creative with eye colour and liner and maybe a bit rockabilly. Where to start? How to learn?

Oh that someone could teach me.

Millions of video tutorials on YouTube, follow some makeup artists on Instagram, and just practice. I was exactly the same up until around a year ago, and while I still don’t consider myself artistic when it comes to makeup I do know more about what suits me and I have the confidence to try a new look x

I own so many things but I just look at them and don’t know what to do! I’m also a little fearful as I’m a face toucher and anticipate I’d just smudge everything. I use a little powder and that’s it. I always forget to put lip balm on!

Contact your local further education colleges hair and beauty department and ask if any of the students need volunteers for their assessments.

Another thing you could try is asking for a demo in one of the department stores or Body Shop. Specifying exactly what you want or you'll come out looking like a modern day Barbara Cartland

You tube have some good tutorials. Go subtle if you don’t wear much anyway.

Do you have a friend who’s knowledgable on make up? They’re good to go shopping with. A lot of it is trial and error.

Never been great with make up myself just stick to tinted moisturiser, and some lip balm day to day. Add some mascara and lipstick if it's a dinner or night out.

Had my make up done professionally for a friend's wedding and didn't recognise myself. Amazing what some people can do with make up. Guess it's just takes some practicing.

There are some YouTube videos out there where they don't always use foundation. If you think you don't need it, don't use it.

I do hate all the contouring and highlighting videos. I may not like the shape of my face, but I wouldn't want to give someone a shock if I changed it through make up!

There are some eye make up only tutorials on there which is good. Buy a palette of eyeshadows that you like (if you have a large Boots near you, Nyx has a good quality cheap range) then search the palette name on YouTube and it will give you loads of ideas.

"You have lovely, clear skin. The YouTube tutorials seem to overdo the base/foundation/toner etc.

I have zero idea what foundation to use and that’s exactly it, nothing I think really stays on or makes sense without the base. I seriously don’t know how to start.

I’d love to do some really colourful rockabilly eye liner and coloured eyes and cherry red lippy - just once in a while.

There are some YouTube videos out there where they don't always use foundation. If you think you don't need it, don't use it.

I do hate all the contouring and highlighting videos. I may not like the shape of my face, but I wouldn't want to give someone a shock if I changed it through make up!

There are some eye make up only tutorials on there which is good. Buy a palette of eyeshadows that you like (if you have a large Boots near you, Nyx has a good quality cheap range) then search the palette name on YouTube and it will give you loads of ideas."

Super, thank you x

I'm so shit at blending eyeshadow and all that, so if I'm going to wear eyeshadow it will be neutral shades.

When I went to my pre wedding make up thing she might as well of put a mask on me...it was awful.

I'd go to the Mac counter for a demo if I was you and defo you tube, my daughter is very good at 12!!!

Someone said to me accentuate either your eyes or lips, never both. And put your foundation on after your eyeshadow so you can wipe off any mess!

Good luck B x

"Less is more. Some women cake it on and look dreadful. Be subtle.

Agree!

What is all this "contour" stuff about?

It just looks like dark and shiny cakey lines on your face

Bloody awful!

Also false eyelashes are a bit porn star-ish

Even some eyeshadow is wrong.

I'm not into makeup at all - I think a natural look is best.

I would say just play around until you get the look you want. Spend a afternoon just playing with the make up you have. If you don't usually wear foundation go for something like a bb cream or a tinted moisturiser.

I too am rubbish at it. But if I have a few hours to spare I have been known to watch YouTube tutorials and practice and even managed to put false eyelashes on once. And I have heard the advice about lips or eyes and it is good advice (my mum always said so and she is a girlie girl who made me get contoured at a makeup counter once - she laughed, I looked like a petulant weird version of myself with massive eyes and a pointier nose).

Go to boots and speak to the make up girls. There's hundreds of them. Or book a make up lesson. Get vouchers on wowcher or itison for a tenner. The tutorials on line don't really know your skin or colour match and are a bit ott

Failing that a simple foundation...foundation brush..mascara...blusher and lip gloss is a good start. Dot the foundation on and rub it in with the brush. Apply mascara...blusher and lip gloss x

YouTube and lots of practice.

Good brushes and good foundation are where to spend money. If your base looks pants then doesn't matter how good you do everything else, it will always be the first thing people notice. The rest you can make do with cheaper brands.

Work out your skin type then go to counters for their recommendations on type of foundation /concealer you need.

Hooded eyes means that you can barely see the eyelid because the top part of the eye folds over it. A very poor description, but I hope that makes sense.

Go to Boots makeup counter, get a patch test, tell them your budget etc.

Use a good moisturiser, apply foundation by brush, follow with a loose powder to set, then apply your preferred colour of blush, then eyes, then invest in a good mascara, the one I swear by is a L'Oréal double extension, nothing beats it in my experience, as you can apply however many coats you want with no clogging! I have tried many over the years but always come back to this one!

"Go to Boots makeup counter, get a patch test, tell them your budget etc.

Use a good moisturiser, apply foundation by brush, follow with a loose powder to set, then apply your preferred colour of blush, then eyes, then invest in a good mascara, the one I swear by is a L'Oréal double extension, nothing beats it in my experience, as you can apply however many coats you want with no clogging! I have tried many over the years but always come back to this one! "

I’m going to do a makeup counter crawl!

"I used to use Estée Lauder double wear but I tried Boots Seventeen 25 hour foundation and it gave me the same coverage and look as double wear for fraction of the cost of double wear

I've been meaning to try that since you suggested it on another thread.

Which base is your favourite B? "

I don’t use one!

I really am a beginner. I have a Clinique matte powder that I pat on my nose and that’s me done.

Again, I fear I might go wrong with a glory face wash....

You do realise I’m going to follow these instructions and essentially draw silver and gold lines on my face?!

It’s like a foreign language!
