Q&A for How to Apply Simple Everyday Makeup

During the summer, your face sweats more, which prevents your makeup from adhering to your skin. This results in your makeup clogging your pores and looking cakey.

It depends on how sensitive your skin is. If you have fairly sensitive skin that can get irritated easily from scrubs, you only want to use one a few times a week, or not at all, opting instead for a gentler cleanser.

A long lasting one with sunscreen would be best. If you are tan/get tanned, then get a foundation that matches your tan, so your face isn't a different color than rest of your body.

Lighter mascaras, like brown, are great with fair skin, blond hair or light-brown hair. Other mascara colors, like burgundy, complement green eyes.

If you are set on a powder foundation, I recommend Max Factor Facefinity foundation. You might want to also look into Barry M. They make a lot of great products for fair skin.

Try using a natural moisturizer, as makeup dries up your pores and causes acne.

Choose an oil free foundation and concealer. When you clean your face at the end of the day, don't forget to put on moisturizer, though. Even though your skin seems oily, it makes extra oil because it's dry.

e.l.f. has really good brushes for beginners, and they are cheap. They are good quality, and available at Target and online. If you want something higher-end, beauty supply stores like Sephora and Ulta have lots of good options.

Consider using a green color correcter, as green cancels out red in most skin tones. You can find color correcting concealers and primers. Also, using a high coverage foundation can hide redness.

You don't have to put on powder after a foundation unless you want to, or if your skin is still in need of touch ups or color. A liquid foundation mixed with moisturizer works great, especially with a powder foundation over it for extra.

Foundation/base products if you want, an eye shadow palette, lipstick/lip product. My simple everyday bag would contain an eye shadow primer, an eye shadow palette, a couple eye liners in different colors, black mascara, a liquid glitter or two, a lip gloss, a couple lipsticks, and brushes.

It is up to you what makeup to use. These are just some tips for how to do some of the most commonly worn makeup. You don't need to use concealer if you don't want to; it's just used to cover up imperfections, assuming you have some and want to cover them up.

Any drug store, grocery store, or online marketplace will carry skin care products.

Try using a stencil or use a thin eyeliner pen and concentrate hard.

Use correctors, and for more redness, you should use a green corrector. After applying the corrector you will have to apply foundation or concealer over it.

Not necessarily, but depending on your choice of shadow, it can help make your eyes look bigger and brighter.

Try a little bit on your hand before you buy it. This will allow you to see how the color blends with your skin tone. You could also go to a make up store like Sephora and have one of the employees match your skin tone to one of their foundations -- that way you'll be sure that you have a professional level match.

Limit how much makeup you wear, or don't wear any makeup if you feel comfortable. If you do wear makeup, use a makeup remover before washing your face, and wash your face twice a day.

It is not required that you apply eyeliner. You can wear it if you feel comfortable with it, but you do not have to.

You could fill them in or leave them all natural, it just depends on what you like.

Not completely. You also need a darker shade for the creases.

Use a light foundation that suits your skin tone. When buying your products, test the foundation on your jawline as opposed to your hand, which is a different shade from your face. If you think foundation in a powdered form would have too much of a cakey look for the day, opt for a liquid foundation. In the summer, when your skin is more oily, you could use a BB cream, which is less heavy on your face and has less coverage.

You do not have to, but apply immediately before or after primer so that it can soak in well. If you will be in the sun often, put it on first.

Use minimal makeup only when parties fit into the schedule. If you are a minor, you probably should use makeup as less as possible because your skin is yet to fully adjust.

Check in daylight if the color of the foundation matches the color of your neck. If yes, it is a good color for you. Then, you will have to test the foundation for a few days to see if your skin is happy with it. For example, if you have oily skin you want to see if your foundation is mattifying. For dry skin, you will want a hydrating foundation. And also check if your foundation is long-wearing, or starts to disappear or smudge during the day.

Pinch your cheeks or use cherries. If you have cherries, break them open at the bottom and apply them to your cheeks. The juice produces a beautiful pigment.

Consider using an oil-free, long lasting foundation. Charlotte Tillbury Flawless Filter and Maybelline Fit Me as suitable options.
