Analyze your skin to see what type of skin you have: oily, combination, normal, dry, etc. Many cosmetic counters have someone there that can do a preliminary analysis of your skin, and recommend some products. If you are on a budget, see what the professional at the cosmetic counter recommends, then go to your local drug store and find a similar product for way less money!


Start with a freshly-washed face (and hands, too). Get a facial, or do one yourself. You want your face to be a clear and smooth canvas for you, the ';artist,'; to do your art. Use a good deep-cleansing mask. Do not exfoliate if you have oily or sensitive skin. It will spread bacteria around your face from the already existing blemishes. Use antibacterial soap if you have acne. Also be sure that you replace the towel you use to dry your face every week. Lastly, apply toner by taking a cotton pad that has been dampened in warm water and sweep it over your face. Toner will restore the pH level of your skin and pick up any remaining dirt.


Massage a light moisturizer into your face no matter what type skin you have, avoiding the eye area! This will help oily skin dry, and dry skin become smoother. Wait a few minutes for it to soak into your skin. After letting it sit for a while, rinse face with warm water, and pat dry.


Apply a sheer foundation that matches your skin tone.








To find the right one, go to the makeup counter at a local department store and have the artist there help you.








Wear illuminator to make your skin appear youthful and dewy compared with dull, matte makeup. Skin illuminators come in powder, cream, mousse, etc. L'Or茅al, Revlon, Neutrogena, and other brands make them - it's like make up with tiny particles that reflect light.








Use a makeup sponge or wedge, starting around the hairline and working your way down. (Use the wedge for this routine because you can be more precise about where the make up goes.) If you want a proper look that looks as if it has been done by a professional makeup artist, try using a foundation brush.


Remember to apply the makeup all the way down to your throat area and keep blending so you can't see where the make up ends. Nothing is worse than looking like you have a mask on your face!


Around the eye area, do very light strokes inward, toward the inner corner of your eye. Don't apply it to your upper eyelid! All of the professional makeup artists say not to apply foundation to this area. This is why you need a foundation that matches your skin. If you want foundation to darken your skin then try putting it above your eyes, and see what you like. Be gentle with this part, because the skin is very delicate and sensitive here.


Remember to blend all the makeup into your hairline. (but not so that your hair is another color!)


Apply concealer to any red or discolored spots. In the corners of your eyes, where it's blue, and around the nostrils are good places for this. Do this after applying foundation, so you don't use too much (many makeup artists do this the other way around). First apply the concealer, then pat very lightly with your finger to blend. Only apply concealer to the area that you want to conceal. Afterwards, use the wedge to blend the concealer in with the foundation. Stand back away from your mirror to see if you have effectively concealed the areas. Try to stand about the distance away from the mirror that you stand away from people when you talk to them. Another way to conceal blemishes is to pat green concealer on the blemishes and red spots, then put foundation over top (the green reduces redness).


Apply a loose powder all over the face using a powder brush. Pat it into the powder; then, with a paper towel, tap the brush so the excess falls off the brush. Lightly brush across the whole face. Use a powder puff (small) to apply powder on the upper lid. Apply a bronzer to your forehead, cheeks, and chin, to give a sun-kissed look,if wanted.#If you don't have much cheekbones you can contour your face, to do so you will need a brown tone of powder, don't make it ultra brown, but a milk-chocolatey kind of color. Apply a it on the brush and apply it under your cheek bones, starting from the temple and going down until underneath the apple of your cheek. Don't make it too abvious as it's meant to look like a shadow, and voila! You have cheek bones!


Highlight your brow bone and cheek bones by applying a light powder just below the brow, and to the highest part of your cheek.


Apply a small amount of blush to the apples of your cheeks. Smile so you can see the apple of your cheek. Start the application at the apple and drag the blush outward toward your temple, following your cheek bone. Blend the color down a bit below your cheekbone in towards your earlobe.








If you added too much color to the brush, use the clear side of your wedge to blend it in more until the color is faded out a bit. Your cheeks should have a hint of color. You don't want to look like a clowWhat are some good makeup/hair tips? HELP NEEDED ?
mascara: use one that enhances your lashes, depending on what you need - lengthening for short lashes, volumizing for sparse lashes, curling for straight lashes.





eyeliner: blue bring outs the whites of your eyes, black defines and dark brown defines too but gives a softer look.





what kind of performance are you having? try pulling your hair back into a bun or braiding it.
If you are on stage then try some glitter eyeliner :D

for hair I think you should just leave it like it is :)
go to youtube.com, they have plenty of makeup tutorials just type in 'makeup turtorials.'
Depending on which eye colour you have, eye shadow should be easy to apply. Grey, violet, and purple suit blue eyes, brown, apricot, purple, and plum for green eyes and copper, bronze, coffee, champagne (soft pink) brown beige, and khaki green suit brown eyes.


If you really want dramatic eyes, then get a soft brush and sweep the darker shade on the outer corners of your eyes, and the lighter shade in the inner corner, also if you have a shimmery white or pale pink, sweep that in the very inner corner of your eye, and gently on to the bottom lashes as well. A sweep of eyeliner with a subtle cat eye flick will add femininity.





I would invest in some eyelash curlers, they are cheap and make lashes extra curly. Blast them with a hair dryer to heat them up and curl for about 5-10 seconds. Apply mascara by wiggling the brush right at the base of your lashes, wiggling the wand all the way up. Then, whilst the brush is about half way done, shut your eyes tightly, this will add some extra volume. (This can be tricky depending on your mascara, keep a baby wipe or makeup remover wipe on hand in case it gets near your brows.)





Make sure skin is properly moisturized before applying foundation, you don't want it to get flaky. Also if your quite a pale girl, go for a pale foundation. Orange is a no go. You only need one or two layers of foundation, and make sure it's properly blended in with; Your eyebrows, jaw line and forehead. If you have any mineral foundation or compressed powder, brush a little bit on top of the foundation in circular motions to acheive a matt finish.





With your hair, wash it tonight, because hair that is freshly washed is harder to style. If you don't have straightners, you can also pretty much straighten your hair with a big roller brush. Section your hair after washing, and brushing up a section of hair when wet, you can achieve a straight finish by angling the hair dryer so its blowing heat downwards on your hair.

Hope I was some help.
