I remember when I was in high school, which was a while back, we had a cosmotologist come to talk to us in our P.E. class. She gave us some timeless tips (I think they are timeless) on makeup. The thing I remember most about her advice was that makeup is meant to enhance, not to be, or look like, a mask and there is not a woman alive, no matter how good she looks without makeup, that can not benefit her looks with a little makeup. She said that makeup should look natural and not like makeup, that your makeup is right when no one an tell you have any on. Then she gave is these pointers... Always start with clean and moisturized skin.
Decide which is your best feature and enhance it so attention will be drawn away from a less attractive feature. It is safer to just ignore a feature you don't like and enhance the feature you do like.
Apply makeup in the same kind of light you will be spending most of your time. Check your daytime look by the light through a window. Sunlight will be the harshest light to be seen in.
Your makeup might need to be freshened up a bit after dressing and combing your hair. Sometimes, what you wear or the way you wear your hair makes a difference in how your makeup looks.
Listen to department store makeup demonstrators. You can get a lot of helpful information from them to use at home.
Always remove makeup every night, either with soap and water or a cream or liquid made to remove makeup, especially eye makeup.
As I said, I received these tips many years ago, but, I believe they still work today.
