females who wear make up

Go to a make-up counter at any department store. They will show you how to apply everything, and help you pick colors that work for you. They do it for free, and usually they're happy to help.

from what others said my eyes are my best feature they tell me my brown eyes sparkle so perhaps wear eye shadow , a light blush and lip gloss for now.

what is good for dark circles under the eyes?

I learned about this from Bobbi Brown. It depends on your skin tone, but you look light skinned like me. So for me (and I haven't tried this yet) I will get the kit by Bobbi Brown (it's expensive, so I'm sure you can get something less expensive to try out). I am going to get a light pinky-bisque corrector (apply that first), then a warm ivory concealer (this should be one shade lighter than your skin) and that comes with a yellow toned finishing powder (a small brush is needed for this). But, I am only getting this in anticipation of something stressful I need to travel for and the last time I was in that situation I had dark circles like I had never seen before (because I was crying in my sleep).

i agree with whoever said to start out with more natural colors, you don't want to start off to big, ya know? Pinterest has tons of tips and stuff for make up and hair and nails and stuff!

I agree with starting out with more natural colors as well. I wear makeup EVERY day. I love makeup, I experiment with it on a daily basis. I buy new products just to try them. I do wear primer, foundation, powder ... just about everything. I find makeup as a way to express myself, it's like an art form to me. My day to day wear is primer(to even tone), foundation(with spf 15), pressed powder(for a finished look), mascara and some lip gloss. Pinterest has an abundance of tips and ideas.

My profile photo was from a night I was going out on the town in San Diego, that's why the dramatic lip, but I also normally where 'daytime' makeup to work and am pretty skilled at liquid liner and know my products pretty well. Did makeup for theater in high school and college. I've had several relatives and friends request I do make-up for their weddings (which I did). I guess you could say it's a hobby. I like making my friends feel pretty.

So feel free to friend me, you can ask as many questions as you like.

I agree! Sephora is also good. Or The Body Shop.

This. I am totally clueless about makeup. I go to MAC or Sephora, there are none locally so it's only when I travel. I bought a little at a time because those stores can be pricey. Once I had the basics I literally walked in with the make up I already owned and asked for help with doing a different look. They helped pick out other colors/items that work with what i already had. They've always been really helpful. I still can't quite get it too look as good as they do but I'm getting better.

I hate make-up.

I have a pretty basic routine...concealer under eyes if needed, bronzer, blush, highlighter, eyeshadow, black and blue eyeliner mixed, mascara, gloss. THEN, if I'm going out, I do more dramatic eyes or natural eyes and bright lips. I have SO much makeup, but really only use 10 or so products consistenly.

Wow.

This is both sexist and offensive.

I enjoy wearing make up. Not too sure why you felt the need to exclude men from this party.

heyyyy, boy. you'd look good with some eyeliner. punk rock. heheh

also, whyyyyyy are "females" and "males" overrused on MFP? what happened to "women" and "men"?

Wow.

:laugh:

for me I just stick with mascara and lipstick and maby some foundation and some glossy type of spray for my hair to keep the frizzies away. Very low maintenance for me is the way to go.
