i’m 21 and only started getting into makeup about a month ago. everytime i try and put any on, i look so weird. even if it’s just concealer, eyebrow gel, etc. no matter what it is, i always look weird!

i thought maybe i just wasn’t used to looking at makeup on my face, but it looks too odd for me to be confident enough to wear in public. i find myself doing my whole routine to only end up taking it all off and going natural. i’ve gone natural my whole life and my friends and family make fun of it constantly like saying, “you’re so pick me for not wearing makeup” or “why would you even want to try makeup you don’t need it” and it discourages me. either way someone will always point it out and i’ll be embarrassed. i like putting it on, it’s so fun, but i cannot bring myself to wear it out. idk what’s wrong.

also, how do you prevent loose powder getting everywhere? it gets all over my clothes and room when i just open it. if anyone knows how to prevent this let me know!

    I suggest building up little by little until you find the place you’re happy with. Maybe start with products that have less pigment and one by one. Maybe try a concealer first, but not a high coverage one. Maybe even use a light foundation or tinted balm as concealer. When you get used to it try a clear eyebrow gel, maybe brown mascara etc.
