how do i find the right color foundation?How to apply make-up, I have never done it before!! Please help!?
Alright, I will list everything in the order that you should apply them: foundation, concealer, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss. Ok, let's start with foundation. When finding the right foundation you want something that is exactly the same color as your skin. Test it on your jawline; when you blend you shouldn't be able to tell that you are wearing anything. Conceal the rest of the blemishes ( if you have any ).How to apply make-up, I have never done it before!! Please help!?
u use foundation that is the same color as ur skin





i take fashion print classes at a skool so i kno





first, u use eaither foundation or concelear to hide any pimple or zits





then, u apply blush onto the apples of ur cheeks





after, u put on some lipgloss





finally, u add the mascara





if u want, u even put on eyeshadow





make sure u dont wear too much makeup or they wont hire u
Use black eyeliner on your top eyelids right on your lash line. Use some black mascara. You can find the right foundation by going to any stall in a department store that sells makeup and they will help you find the right color. Or, if you want cheaper, just do your best to match the shade of your skin. Foundation is always supposed to be one shade darker than your skin color, so when you find the one that matches, go with the next darker one.
LESS IS MORE! although you might think you need makeup to heighten your appearance, dont conceal your inner beauty and project a false person. since your color is darker than others with fair skin, you would have to go to the darker gradiants. look up Tara Banks or Halle Berry. at the checks, they go with a lighter tone and they dont over do eyeshadow. i like the burgandy/dark red for african american girls. something of a darker shade. cheeck wise, just get a light blush and you're set. they'll be interviewing your credentials so dont worry too much. just dress conservatively and you're set
If you have good skin, you don't really need a lot of foundation. I would suggest a tinted moisturizer in your shade (ask the lady at the makeup counter to help you) you apply it lightly just like regular moisturize. A good foundation should match the skin of your face and neck, I always smear some onto my jaw line when testing cause that is where the makeup has to blend from your face to your neck.





Since it is your first time best stick to simple and go for the natural look, it's sexier anyways, if you have good skin and nice features too much makeup gets redundant.





Apply tinted moisturizer, apply a light dusting of golden bronze eyeshadow to compliment you brown skin and a just one coat of brown mascara. Then use a red/or brown tinted lip gloss to give your lips some color. If you like dust on some bronzer to you cheek bones.
it depends on your eye color if you have brown eyes use a golden brown creme and get a little mascara remember you don't want to overdue it this is an interview not a date


p.s


a redish brown lipstick would also go well
Since you have never really experimented with makeup before, I would suggest going to one of the cosmetic counters in the mall where you can receive expert advice for free. Most times, you can even get your make-up done for free if you make a purchase. I usually just buy a new lip gloss or something. Once you know the basics, and your correct shade, it's easy. Hope this helps!!
~choose a color of foundation by rubbing a small part of skin and see if it is the same color.


~to cover up dark spots around the eyes choose a foundation 1 or 2 shades lighter


~try a spray on foundation, cause they don't cake on


~choose an eyeshadow color that compliments you eye color


~but on a peach shade of blush on the apples of your cheeks and sweep up


~do a simple peach gloss cause your eyes should be the main focus


~make sure you also have well groomed eyebrows that are a shade darker then your hair color...it will really make a difference for your eyes
when looking for the right color foundation use the skin right above your thumb and put a dab of foundation there then rub it in to see if it works. When you apply it do not use the triangular sponges they only smear and create a dirty look try using the smaller packs of the white rectangular sponges.
Foundation: Always get one shade lighter than your normal skin tone.


Powder: Same, or translucent


Eyeshadow: Judging from the skin tone on your av, I would go with neutral/non-bright colors. Like, beige, soft pink, and brown. If you don't know how to apply it, here's how:


Take the beige/whatever color is lightest and lightly dust your entire eyelid (including under the eyebrows). With the second lightest color, take an eyeshadow tool and lightly cover your eyelid. Take a medium dark color, and use the eyeshadow tool thing to make a 'c' shape on your eyelid. (start at the middle of your eyelid towards the eyelashes, and curve it over to the exact same spot, but higher.) With the darkest color, take the duster again and dust around the outside crease of your eye. Take white eyeliner and line the inside corner of your eye, and rub it in so it looks natural. (if necessary, take white eyeshadow instead) Take black eyeliner and line starting from where you started the 'c' of eyeshadow (middle of your eye, closest to your eyelashes) and line it until you get to the outside corner of your eye. Then, line the bottom, but only about 1/3 of the outside, meeting up with the top line. Hopefully, this makes sense. Put a nice coat of mascara, and some pink lipgloss (not to kiddish/light, but a nice translucent medium color, almost dark or red, depending on which you like most). GOOD LUCK AT THE INTERVIEW!!! Also, wear a suit/formal clothes. :)
When you go out to buy a liquid foundation, it is always important to test the color. Swipe a small amount on the base of your jaw (this is the most accurate facial color). Don't be fooled by the way it looks - most foundations look darker while still in the bottle.





Gently pat the foundation into the jawline and then blend it outward with your finger or a sponge. The right foundation will dissolve into your skin and should not stand out too dramatically from your face or your shoulders. It's sometimes difficult to find the ';perfect'; shade, so you might have to ask assistance in blending two shades together. Or check out other brands until you find the right shade for you. Don't buy the bottle immediately, rather, go out for a walk around the store to give the foundation a ';road test';. Check the foundation when you get to a place with natural light. Also try to feel its consistency after half an hour, so you can see how your skin reacts to the product. African-American skin is enhanced by using a combination of medium and dark shaded. The general rule is that darker skin will need darker shades of yellow.
well.. you can go to those stores.. where they have the make up samples and the ladies that can put it on u according to ur skin color and what goes best..

African-americans have the best complexions. If its in the morning, dont apply foundation unless ur skin has marks. Line ur eyes and shape ur brow with a liner. Black if ur eye brows r black otherwise use dark brown. Apply a layer of mascara. Put some goldenbrown, bronze, peach or soft maroon eye shadow. These blend well with ur skin tone and the peach blusher and a gloss of ur choice.
i dont use makeup sorry.
