Hello everyone
As the title states, I'm very much so a makeup newbie! I'm 26-years-old and currently trying to find ways in which to take better care of my skin. I have a very oily T section, with pores visible in the mirror, and at the same time it's rather dry and flaky. When I've put on foundation in the past, it becomes rather powdery and flaky! This has always put me off wearing more than just some eyeliner and lipstick.
In the past couple of years, I have noticed my face has hollowed out a fair bit. I had some surgery a while back as I had an infection in one cheek, so I've always had a bit more of a dimple there than in the other cheek, not to mention the skin is a lot weaker there, so I have a few more smile lines on that particular side. I noticed my cheeks are uneven, and I'm quite insecure about it, not to mention the hollowing out to begin with! I Have a very small face, so it's like it's shrunk even further, which looks very strange in photos taken from the distance.
I'm just wondering first of all if there's anything at all that can help with cheek plumping, even just a little bit, any product or anything. Secondly, I'm quite into cosplay! And the characters I cosplay as generally have a lot fuller faces than I do, so I'm wondering what kind of makeup tips you might have for me to give the illusion of having a fuller face, rather than these visible hollows every time a shadow is cast upon it. Please tell me there's a solution to this with makeup!
I shall attach some photos. As you can see I'm quite young looking for my age (people ask if I'm still in school). The first two are pretty raw from just now - tired, bed hair, terrible eyebrows, bad lighting! so don't judge me haha. I feel it just shows the cheek hollows quite well, and the slight dimple from the surgery. The other is at a friend's wedding, where I had makeup professionally applied, and was really pleased with the result! I'm just not so certain about the process.
If anyone has some tips for me on skincare and/or makeup, some helpful video tutorials even to really help me learn, please let me know. I really just need some help here, and I'd really love to learn how to do this properly.
Thank you very much I appreciate it.
