Hello all. I'm Joshica.This is my first post ever
I never used to wear makeup, at all, I never had to, but as I got older I developed dark spots around the mouth and eye area and I feel that I need to now b/c I do NOT like the look I have. I have no idea whether I'm warm, cool, what undertones I have. Is it OK to post a pic and ask you guys for help? I will post the most recent one, and please be gentle, b/c this is the pic that I looked at and almost cried b/c I realized how awful I look without makeup. I wear lipstick, eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, but the whole foundation thing is new to me. I also tend to sweat on my forehead which runs most foundation and makes it look yucky. I am open to suggestions, comments, and help of any kind.
Warm, cool, or neutral: neutral leaning warm, yellow-beige undertone.
2. Brand and shade of foundations:
I don't know which brand of makeup yet. I am currently looking in to MAC brands. Any suggestions would be helpful. Toggling between colors though b/c I have no idea what color. I'm thinking about the NC 45 or NW 40, but without samples I have no idea, and I refuse to pay that much money for a mistake.
3. Brand and shades of concealers:
Also looking into MAC concealers. Question here, should it be lighter than my shade or darker? I know the question sounds silly, but I really do not know.
4. Brand and shades of undereye concealers (if different):
5. Do you use primer? What brand?:
I am looking in to MAC's Prep + Prime for this
Any help is greatly appreciated because the whole foundation/concealer/primer is new to me.
