I am 21 and dont know how to apply makeup; the only times I have had it is the rare wedding and even then my mom or my sister apply it but I think they do it wrong or they are biased because each time, I cry because I look like a drag queen (to myself at least).
Please do not suggest going to make up counters or stores or salons etc. to learn because I just cannot. I have an anxiety disorder and body image issues, and I simply cannot at age 21 go and ask those beautiful and confident women how to apply lipstick and what in the world is a curler. I swear I would run out crying; I have tried before but I have always chickened out and ran away. I dont even belong on the same floor as those make up counters. This is my mindset so please dont suggest that.
Are there other ways to learn privately? By myself? Where I dont have to rely upon someone else and be embarrassed? Are there books? I love books lol.How do I learn to apply make up?
Don't be intimidated! It just takes practice! :)

THese people's videos have helped me learn to apply makeup better. Just take some time and sit down and watch them. It is worth it. These people usually use MAC makeup, but you can imitate with cheaper versions. The best place I think to get makeup is Target. I have all the Sonia Kashuk brushes and I use mostly Covergirl makeup and some Ulta brand stuff. My all time favorite mascara is covergirl lashblast, my favorite blush is ulta cream blush in playful, my foundation is mabelline dream matte mouse, i use neutrogena powder, and eyeshadows from ulta. Hope this helps! If you want a book, I would recommend Bobbi Brown, I got her ';Teenage Beauty'; book when Iwas 16 and it really helped me learn and sparked my interest in makeup. Granted, you aren't a teenager, and the book is geared for young teenagers, it's a great starter and has alot of info on confidence! :) Hope this helps! Good luck. You are fabulous %26amp; don't you forget it!How do I learn to apply make up?
Borders has beauty books for hair and makeup. (At my Borders, the beauty section is right next to the nursing section). They usually have good stuff!
Go to Youtube, They are alot of amazing people doing makeup tutorials. Try Amy B, Pursebuzz, Xparkage, Kuuipo, Makeup Mondo. They are all fab. On books, try Bobbi Brown's Makeup book. They're all sorts of tutorials on applying makeup, and it's easy to follow.
Amazon.com has a few books for sale on beauty, just enter beauty in the keyword search, it will take you right to them. As for the curler, it's a wickedly evil tool to bend your eyelashes into a more curly shape, nasty and can damage your lashes or pull them out! Stick to maybelline, many of their products have instructions, tips, and pictures on the package to help too. Sit down one night, start with just a little color, add more only if you think you need it, makeup should look barely there, not like a clown. Good luck!
Practice!
If its a day when you have a lot of extra time on your hands, try putting some make up on!
Blush is easy--just smile and apply it little by little on the apples of your cheeks
Mascara is easy too--Just brush some on your eye lashes, and try not to let it clump.
Eyeliner takes practice--Do it little by little and try not putting it on too far from your eye/too close to your eye
Eye shdow is a little hard to explain--Seventeen.com has tips and instructions
For lipstick and lip gloss--Just put them on your lips! =D
Good luck! Make up just takes practice, thats all. Dont worry. ;)
Sephora.com has how to videos on there website on how to do makeup. choose the makeup brand and usually somewhere on the page it will say get this look click on it and it will tell you how. good luck!
there are actually lots of books that help you do it and many MANY websites to help you also. if you wanna just look simple and natural all you need is a light colored eyeshadow (applied first on eyelid using the included applier thing), a light colored eyeliner (applied above the lash line on the bottom- just draw with it like you would a pencil) or mascara (horizontally hold the brush and brush it through your eyelashes in the direction they grow- for the top ones, up for the bottome ones, down), a natural colored blush (just use a little on a semi-diagonal angle from where the apples of your cheeks are to like an inch more or less from your ears using the brush), and a sheer lipgloss (hopefully that is self explanitory...).
good luck and def look for any books or go to google.com and search different things you want to know about makeup. and i understand your mindset but if you really want to know how to do it ';right'; they're your best bet.
good luck! =)

Do guys like girls who apply make up?
only guys answer - do u prefer girls wearing make up or u dont really mind tht since my bf just hates make upDo guys like girls who apply make up?
sureDo guys like girls who apply make up?
Do you think that make-up can improve the way God made you???
I have a sh** load of guy friends,who don't like exaggeration,in makeup,on a lady. None,or a little.
Not heavy makeup, slight ';touch'; is o.k.
well sum guys do but most guys prefer a girls natural beauty more
just a slight touch of lipstick and powder maybe. nth heavy
Some make-up is good. Just don't over do it like that fat woman on the Drew Carrey Show or Tammy Faye Baker. Make up is not supposed to look like it was caked on with a spatula.
Im sorry but the freak cares if they like it or not!!!! If it makes someone feel good about them self, wear it........
i don't like...natural is best...
be natural
NOP
but upto some extend it looks gud
over %26amp; above extra looks bad

How do I apply a certain type of eye make up?
I want to try doing a smoky eye look...I know how to do most of the eye shadow but applying the eye liner on the bottom is hard for me. I normally just smudge mascara on my bottom eye lashes making it look like eye liner but it looks horrible and I really like dark eyes. Anyways, how do I do it?How do I apply a certain type of eye make up?
Just smudge it with a stiff type of brush. A pencil brush will be perfect way to do it. AN angle liner can also do the job. Put the same color that you put on the top of your lid, then apply a liner. Smudge, smudge then smudge it.
Just practice %26amp; practice, you'll get it after a couple of tries,im sure!

Can I use the Duac soap free cleanser to remove my make up and then apply the topical gel?
I think I used Duac before my nose job. It helped clear up my acne a little too. I would use make up remover first if it is because you are prepping for surgery. And if you go in for surgery, drink ike 9 bottles of water 24 hours before. I wish I did! It took me an hour and a whole CC to pee in the cup! TMI I know.applying eyeshadow
The right way to apply make up?
I've been watching shows that introduce different kinds of make-up that are good and they often try it on the celebrity guests.
However,I have no experience in putting make up and I often do not understand what they mean.For eg,if I put like moisturizer on before foundation,what kind of foundation should I use?
I once put on foundation and blahblahblah for a photo needed for my passport but the foundation totally made me looked like catwoman with a lighter skin shade around my eyes and nose but the rest of my face darker.
Also,I wear spectacles,will the spectacles cause the foundation to be uneven?The right way to apply make up?
you don't always need to copy what they say on the guest shows.put the moisturizer on before the foundation and then apply the foundation after the moisturizer dries a little. don't use foundation unless you have to ex. if you have an uneven skin tone that day or something you need to cover up. try on the foundation on your hands. in many stores now they have samples of makeup you can try on. rub it on your hands and then if it matches the skin and you like the feel and texture of it buy it. dab on small amounts at a time and not all over your face. after you can dust on some powder evenly.
eyeliner: draw a thin line from the outer corner of the eye to the inside. if you want a more natural look then wear brown eyeliner and black eyeliner for a dramatic look. less is more. if you want your eyes to pop out then close your eyes and drag the eyeliner from the outside it on your upper lid. brush on some poweder/eyeshadow so it will stay on and not smear.
mascara: then put on mascara. i usually put on 2 coats and use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes. put mascara on always before you curl because if you curl your eyelashes before the mascara it won't stay as curly and also your eyelashes tend to fall out quicker. after that i apply one more coat of mascara.
lipstick/ligloss: i apply chapstick and then put on a tinted pink lipstick and a clear shade of gloss. the nyc company has really good lipgloss for like 1-2 bucks
eyeshadow: you don't have to wear eyeshadow everyday but i wear it for special occasions. use darker tones if your going out at night or to a party like a plum color and lighter , netural tones for a natural shade like light brown. blend it in. also you can put a dot of white eyeshadow in the middle of your eybrow to make your eyes look bigger
no spectacles won't cause the foundation to be uneven. try getting frames to make your eyes/face the best. i used to have circle frames and now i have contacts and these really great square frames that bring out my face more so talk to your doctor if you want new frames.
also try bobbibrown.com for some good tips
hope this helps=]The right way to apply make up?
after trying different lotions, the two i like most are Aveeno and Nivea. both are fragrance free and really work. make sure the foundation you're using is oil-free and water based so it doesn't clog your pores. and if you wanna make sure that the color is going to be the right one, go to a cosmetics store like sephora and get a professional to match your skin tone and tell you exactly which foundation you should get. watch carefully how they apply the makeup on your face and you should try to imitate that when you do it yourself.
good luck!
Hi with the foundation just put on normal foundation but wait til the moisturiser has dried. Make sure it is the same skintone as your skin at least near it anyway.
I wear glasses as well but no the foundation isn't uneven because it is hardly noticeable enough to notice that.

How do you properly apply make-up? And why kind should I use?
So, I don't wear make-up very often (not at all really) and no one is around to show me how to use it. I have eye liner type stuff, lip stick, lip gloss, mascara, and three shades of pink eye shadow. So how do I apply this stuff?
Also, what color eye shadow and stuff should I be using? I have light green eyes, fair skin, and really dark brown hair...so any suggestions? Are there any good products I should be using as well?
I'm the kind of girl who wakes up in the morning, runs a brush through her hair, and calls it good. So, can anyone give me the run down on apply make up? Merci.How do you properly apply make-up? And why kind should I use?
Eye liner: You pull down the bottom of your eye and put the eyeliner right under your bottom eyelashes.
Masccara: You take the brush and you open your eye wide and take some swoops on to you eyelashes. Blink while your doing it.
Eyeshadow: Just start at the bottom of the EYELID and swipe it across then go higher and do the same. (go as high as you want.)
I think you should e wearing misty grays and darrk blues, deep purples and dark greens in eyeshadows. Use Black Mascara and eyeliner. your welcome. :)How do you properly apply make-up? And why kind should I use?
Maxfactor is the best makeup because it stays on for longer ... a tip for you always put powder over the top of your foundation because it will get rid of bloches and also it protects the foundation underneath and it will stay on longer.. trust :)... the best way to apply makeup is the foundation with a sponge and eye shadow just put darker on the bottom and get lighter up the eye.. good luck

you should try going with a pink or purple or even brown those are the colors that make the eyes pop. try to stay away from the same color as your eyes that doesn't look good Report Abuse
For eyeshadow definitely green because it's close to blue it both matches and contrasts it at the same time. For eyeliner rock the black
i would try peach or pink eye shadow and blue eye liner will really make your eyes look very beautiful.!
Eyeshadow:
~a bronze, gold, or peach earth tone would make your eyes stand out
~smoky blues and browns would work if applyed correctly
Eyeliner
~use a liner pencil (grey or black) and put liner across the lash line on upper lid
~use a sparkle liner on bottom lid
~don't use both at once
hope this helps
For Blue Eyes: Baby blues are best accented by brown or navy liner. Charcoal or grey shades are nice for a bit of drama goes for eyes shadow and liner
Pink and Black eyeshadow
With Gray Eyeliner
OR
Smokey eye
With a pink eyeliner
Well, I have blue eyes to and for eyeliner I use either blue, black, white, or brown. Those colours really make blue eyes pop(good for eyeshadow too). When doing eyeliner line the whole top lid to make your eyes look even bigger.
