"So here’s the thing, I don’t really know how to do makeup. As a consequence I don’t really wear anything. I’d love to be more creative with eye colour and liner and maybe a bit rockabilly. Where to start? How to learn? Oh that someone could teach me. " I am exactly the same ! I own lipgloss and mascara and that's my lot! | |||

Where to start? How to learn? Oh that someone could teach me. I am exactly the same ! I own lipgloss and mascara and that's my lot!" I own so many things but I just look at them and don’t know what to do! I’m also a little fearful as I’m a face toucher and anticipate I’d just smudge everything. I use a little powder and that’s it. I always forget to put lip balm on! | |||

"You have lovely, clear skin. The YouTube tutorials seem to overdo the base/foundation/toner etc." I have zero idea what foundation to use and that’s exactly it, nothing I think really stays on or makes sense without the base. I seriously don’t know how to start. I’d love to do some really colourful rockabilly eye liner and coloured eyes and cherry red lippy - just once in a while. | |||

"Never been great with make up myself just stick to tinted moisturiser, and some lip balm day to day. Add some mascara and lipstick if it's a dinner or night out. Had my make up done professionally for a friend's wedding and didn't recognise myself. Amazing what some people can do with make up. Guess it's just takes some practicing. " My fear if I can’t do it myself though, is that it’ll all slip during the day/eve and I won’t be able to fix it! | |||

"I too am rubbish at it. But if I have a few hours to spare I have been known to watch YouTube tutorials and practice and even managed to put false eyelashes on once. And I have heard the advice about lips or eyes and it is good advice (my mum always said so and she is a girlie girl who made me get contoured at a makeup counter once - she laughed, I looked like a petulant weird version of myself with massive eyes and a pointier nose)." | |||

"Those female perfume counters in department stores seem to be popular and the ladies seem to know what they're doing. Obviously someone with your natural complexion should use little. I’m sweaty faced and pimply! Seriously, I use filters! I was being ironic! Oh, I thought you were being nice to me just once. Shoulda known. No sense of humour some people! Just going by experience. I'm not a leopard! I’m now imagining you in a leopard print mankini It’s giving me a semi... " Oh Lacey you're so rude! | |||

"Rather than using a liquid liner or pencil try smudging eyeshadow on using a flat brush. Works a treat and doesn't create harsh lines x" Good tip | |||

"Go to boots and speak to the make up girls. There's hundreds of them. Or book a make up lesson. Get vouchers on wowcher or itison for a tenner. The tutorials on line don't really know your skin or colour match and are a bit ott Failing that a simple foundation...foundation brush..mascara...blusher and lip gloss is a good start. Dot the foundation on and rub it in with the brush. Apply mascara...blusher and lip gloss x" Thank you | |||

"YouTube and lots of practice. Good brushes and good foundation are where to spend money. If your base looks pants then doesn't matter how good you do everything else, it will always be the first thing people notice. The rest you can make do with cheaper brands. Work out your skin type then go to counters for their recommendations on type of foundation /concealer you need. " How do you work out your skin type? I’m stuck on that bit. | |||

"I use estee Lauder double wear foundation, it's great stuff. Lasts for ages and you only need a little bit. The bigger branches of Boots have a counter where they colour match and give you a free sample. A good base is essential..." I’d do all the bases with you. | |||

"So here’s the thing, I don’t really know how to do makeup. As a consequence I don’t really wear anything. I’d love to be more creative with eye colour and liner and maybe a bit rockabilly. Where to start? How to learn? Oh that someone could teach me. I’ve started using setting spray on face make up (special occasions) and it’s great my make up lasts a whole night out with no top ups! I am exactly the same ! I own lipgloss and mascara and that's my lot! I own so many things but I just look at them and don’t know what to do! I’m also a little fearful as I’m a face toucher and anticipate I’d just smudge everything. I use a little powder and that’s it. I always forget to put lip balm on!" | |||

"Go to Boots makeup counter, get a patch test, tell them your budget etc. Use a good moisturiser, apply foundation by brush, follow with a loose powder to set, then apply your preferred colour of blush, then eyes, then invest in a good mascara, the one I swear by is a L'Oréal double extension, nothing beats it in my experience, as you can apply however many coats you want with no clogging! I have tried many over the years but always come back to this one! " I’m going to do a makeup counter crawl! | |||
