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.

    Keep it simple at first. Just begin with a tinted moisturizer, mascara and a tinted lip balm or neutral colored gloss.

    If you get used to those and like the way you look and feel, try adding in a nude to light brown shade of eye shadow all over the lid, depending on your complexion. Think-just a shade or 2 darker than your skin. It just gives a little consistency and hides the bluish, tired look we sometimes have.

    If you are enjoying that routine, then try moving on to different shadow colors and maybe consider an eyeliner at that point, and more shades of lipsticks. Watch lots of videos on the basics for application and just have fun experimenting!
