Hi

Please could you give me some help and advice?

I am 37 and have had the same make up routine for years. I put Rimmel foundation under my eyes and across my nose. I put Rimmel mascara on my eyelashes. I then put a tiny bit of powder blusher on my cheeks and a bit of eyeshadow on.

I basically don’t know how to do anything else. Other people seem to use primer, foundation, base coats, contouring, lip liner, eyeliner, etc… I don’t know where to start?

I recently started a new professional job and I can see my colleagues are more well groomed and polished than me.

If someone could recommend that I try just a couple more techniques that could make me look good (perhaps for work?) that would be amazing.

For context I have very light skin so anything too heavy makes me look like I’ve really overapplied it.

Thanks so much!

    Here is my routine: Primer, Eyeshadow, Eyeliner, Mascara, Concealer (where needed), Gel/liquid blush (if using)(it looks more natural if used under foundation and applied with a sponge), Foundation, Light dusting of powder, Powder blush (if I didn’t use gel/liquid blush), Lipliner, Lipstick or lip gloss, Setting spray.

    Watch Youtube videos for tips and tricks. Take your time and practice. Make up wipes are great for removing mistakes.
