I am looking to change up my look. I have been using the same kind of make up for what seems like forever. Please help me out with some new makeup tips tricks and products that will not break the bank. Men too if you have any experience with makeup.

    I have a naked palette and absolutely love it. Pricey, but quality and it gives me a variety of looks.

    Have you YouTube'd any tips or tricks? My tween is queen youtuber when it comes to make up application. Lol.

    I agree that YouTube is great and so is Pinterest!! I'm a MAC makeup fan but also use the Naked Palette. It's fun to play around with your eyeliner application once in a while to change your look, I have bought some cheap eyeliners from Avon in all different colors. Don't be afraid to experiment a little! ;)

    I recently started lining my top lids with very dark shadow with a line brush for a soft lined look, also mixing my foundation with my moisturiser gives a clean even coverage and keeps my skin hydrated :) I also use younique fiber lash mascara with is literally insane!

    I just got this app youcammakeup & you can see all types of makeup on yourself and then I think it tells you the brands of what you like. Even changes hair color. I'm obsessed

    Judging by your profile photo I'd say you tend to go for a more natural look. A suggestion I'd make is for you to pick a focal point on your face (eyes, contoured & highlighted cheeks, or lips) and experiment with them one at a time.

    I think bold lips and a soft bronzing with a bit of mascara would look lovely on you. Id suggest, if you're in the states, you go into a Sephora and just spend a few hours playing in makeup. You can even set up an appointment with a mua there and get the to try different looks on you. I think you'd have to buy $50 of makeup for the mua appointment though.

    Let me know if you want me to expand further. Good luck Hun.

    Go for a tutorial somewhere near you! There are make-up artists who can help do this with you ;)

    I agree with the Naked palettes - a little pricey but totally worth it. I also highly recommend ColourPop, online makeup company out of Los Angeles, everything is $5-$8 (or there are set for $15-$30) with free shipping on $30 or more and the quality is excellent!!!

    Sephora has online videos, and Youtube has tons, try Jaclyn Hill, Ellarie, Coffee Break with Dani...

    Girl, Sephora is my weakness! The fifty dollars is well worth the tips I got during my appointment!

    I think i'm in the minority when it comes to Naked palettes. I find them too blendable, if that makes sense? Like often times the shades just kinda mix into one color on the eyelid. But I will say they are creamy and long lasting.

    OP if you're just experimenting trying to find new things to do, don't break the bank on super high end products. If you want to try green eye shadow, don't go buying a 20 dollar one until you're sure you like what it looks like on you. Unless money is no issue at all, in which case go on a shopping spree and buy anything that catches your eyes.

    I love shopping for makeup.

    Cerave moisturizing lotion is a good moisturizer, better than some that are 60-70 dollars. It works great on dry skin, should work on combination skin like your own too.
