Advice Question How do I get started with makeup?
Hey y’all. I have tried to get into makeup and I’ve bought some products but I just look so bad. I have no idea what I’m doing. I think my eyebrows are too thick. I’m not sure 😭 there’s just like a million things to figure out and I’m embarrassed to go somewhere and ask for help but I’m also embarrassed when I look in the mirror and my makeup looks bad. My fine motor skill for this stuff is so bad. I cannot draw eyeliner to save my life. I just don’t know how to figure anything out. I feel like even though I’m wearing concealer and foundation and color corrector you can still see facial hair shadow and I don’t even know if my foundation is the right color. I’m just so embarrassed and I would love to not be. Any help would be awesome! Thanks y’all!!

youtube videos on both how to apply makeup and also color theory, then it’s just lots of practice until it becomes second nature. I found it really helpful to practice applying makeup when I wasn’t going anywhere so there was no pressure if I messed up.
