Best Makeup Up Brushes

Posts Tagged ‘advise’

I’m 20 years old and i’ve only just started to wear make-up. I have not worn make-up because i have very bad acne and skin so i could not apply foundation without it looking terrible-the foundation wouldn’t hide the spots and the marks and where i had dry skin where the spots were healing the foundation would make the dry skin look like i got some sort of flesh coloured fungi growing on my skin.. that’s basically what it looked like :’( BUT i went to the doctors and she gave me this solution in a glass bottle to apply twice a day or as much or as less i need to, i don’t apply it in the mornings before i put on my (now that i’ve got foundation i just cannot not go out without it now even though it doesn’t look perfect) foundation because it then starts to flake a bit and looks like i got dry skin so i use L’Oreal cleanser with the circular rubber scrubber which feels very nice on the skin but it’s not hard enough to take off the dry skin, so please IGNORE the fact i have acne as the solution i got from the doctors almost COMPLETLY gets rid of them but it’s taking quite a long while to work which is a pain as i need it to work noooow as i need to get on with my life, i hardly leave the house because of my bad skin and my lack of knowledge of make-up.

I have brought a whole series of magazines called Essential Guide to Beauty which was all about make-up and hair etc. but i could not make any sense of them and the make-up that came free with them looked good but i’ve tried them out and i’m not sure if they are of good enough quality : / so i’m not going to bother with it all which is a shame as i’ve got a whole make-up bag full of it, i’m going to buy make-up from stores so i know it’ll be reusable quietly.

I know hardly anything about make-up so i’ve guessed at what i need. I have brought No7 Stay Perfect Liquid Foundation, 2True black eye shadow, Maybelline Kohl Express eyeliner and Maybelline Falsies mascara.
I only brought the Maybelline eyeliner because the advert for the mascara said “want this look also get Myabelline Kohl eyeliner” or something along those lines : / so i did and i can’t get the same look as the model on the advert.. pfft i fell for that one then didn’t i.
When i went into Superdrug (which is not a pharmacy, it sells make-up and loads of other things i girl needs) and i looked around and i saw one of those free standing turning 2True make-up shelves and in between the shelves were pictures of models wearing make-up and telling you what make-up they are wearing and i really liked the smoky eye one so i looked up the eye shadow and brought it BUT when i apply it feels too loose, when i put it onto my lid and i start to spread it i’ve taken almost all of it off and it spreads onto the rest of my face and looks very messy son i don’t use it any more.
I brought the mascara because it said it makes you look like you’ve got false eyelashes, i knew it wouldn’t look anything like the advert but i brought it anyway and it does separate my lashes-i’ve got quite long eyelashes so it make my lashes look good but i think mascara is mascara none are really very different from each other, i think it just depends on the brush that comes with them.
I got the foundation about… 3 years ago as i wanted to look good for my cousin’s wedding but i brought it in a bit of a rush and i asked one of the ladies for help at getting the right colour, the colour looks okay but i think i need a lighter one- one that’s not too much of a fleshy-colour and the foundation doesn’t come in a lighter colour, so i did not wear any make-up for the wedding which was a shame as i looked ugly.

All that’s above is what i wear at the moment, as it doesn’t look perfect like most other girl’s make-up i don’t go out often where people can get a good look at my face.
All i want is to look like any other girl of my age! and to have a life, i don’t have a job because i don’t have the confidence and i have not seen my mates for about a year because i just don’t feel sexy and pretty i just want to curl up and hide away.
I really need urgent advise, i’ve tried looking for advise on the internet and on here, Yahoo Answers any everyone is saying different things and mentioning make-up and brands that i’ve never heard of and may not even be able to buy it on England which is where i’m from (
