First I'd like to start by appologizing if I've put this in the wrong forum.
I'm new to most makeup and skin care in general. I really dont know anything at all. I'm 28 and I've wandered through most of my life with the minimalist care about make up and skin-care. I don't wear make-up every day, infact I'm lucky if I put on once every couple of months.
Recently I've decided that I'd like to take better care of my skin and would like to figure out this make-up thing, but as i stroll the internet looking for tips and ideas whith just where to start im completely overwhelmed. Most stuff on the internet is super advanced stuff, or assume that you have at least some basic grasp on makeup and skin care. I don't, Not at all.
So I'm going to ask a series of questions. Perhaps I can get some answers, and would be greatful with any additional tips.
I'll tell you a bit about my skin. I seem to have combination skin for the most part. It is neither very dry or very oily. I have what seems to be roseatia on one of my cheeks (Patchy Red, sometimes flakey, and sometimes pimply [for lack of a better word]), I have very dark circles around both of my eyes. My pores seem to be fairly large and visible, and I am plauged with blackheads on my nose (as everyone seems to be).
The foundation of make up is great skincare, right?
- Can anyone explain to me a basic skin care routine?
-- Do you wash your face Twice a day, Morning and night?
-- Is Toner nesscessary?
-- Do you use different moisturizer for night and day?
-- Are there other things that should be done?
-- Masks? Exfolation? Etc?
On to the make up Part.
I dont know anything about applying makeup at all. I don't have the money or desire at this point to buy expensive makeups, So things that are fairly inexpensive or that can be easily picked up at a drug store would be great.
- What are the most basic needed makeup brushes?
-- What would you reccomend as a bare minimum to someone who has no brushes at all?
- What order does make up even go on in?
-- What is nesscessary to get smooth natural looking makeup?
-- Is it nesscessary to set with powder?
Every youtube tutorial I see online does things differently, and im super confused on how to even go about it. Up to this point inmy life my makeup consisted of some foundation, Mascara, a liiiiiitle bit of eye liner, and some blush. I had no idea what consealer actually was or was used for in practical purposes (or more like i didn't know what the difference between foundation and consealer was), I have no idea how to do eyeshadow in any effective manner.
I recently bought consealer and have been using it in attempt to cover the super dark circles under my eyes. It works ok, but it doesn't cover them remotely good enough, in my honest oppinion, and i'm not quite sure what i can do to help bridge the gap.
Thank you in advance for anyhelp anyone may offer. I'm a hot mess, I know and I appriciate your time.
