I am a 35 year old woman (fat round face) who has never worn makeup. I love watching tutorials and would love to start wearing makeup more frequently. I always feel like a clown whenever I try and follow tutorials and half of the time I can’t follow them because I don’t know how to do the techniques they are using. I don’t even know how to put on eyeliner. I was never thought how to wear makeup! Do you have any tips or tricks to learn how to do makeup? I was going to go to a makeup store and see if I could get someone to help but I am terrified they will mock me.

    Start with one element at a time. You have to get used to using it, and your eyes need to get used to seeing it. Personally I would start with a tubing mascara. Once you’re used to that, add another element. Maybe tinted lip balm or gloss. Then gel for brows, concealer if you need it, and tinted moisturizer or foundation. Get comfortable with each thing before moving on to the next. I would recommend to add blush, bronzer, highlighter and eyeshadow one at a time after you are used to the basics because getting the right colors can be more challenging but also more fun. And you don’t need to use everything just because YouTubers do. I never touch bronzer or contour and highlighter is rare. Save eyeliner for last because it can be really tricky depending on your eyes.
