I want to start wearing makeup

I keep getting spots all over my face and feel like a tramp. I have started using nicer skin care which I'm hoping will clear it. I want a natural look, no eyeliner or anything bold, no un-natural colours. I don't know anything about makeup and haven't been wearing it. It seems very complicated and like a full time job to learn. Is there a simple kit that will do the job that someone can recommend. I don't want anything overly complicated. I need to look presentable.

If you're having problems with your skin I don't think its the best time to start wearing makeup. It can cause alot of issues with already irritated skin.

Maybe you could just start with a nice neutral eyeshadow and some mascara?

I would try Clinique, their skincare and makeup is all centred around being good for the skin. I'd find a counter and explain your concerns, they will hopefully be able to provide some free makeup samples for you to try. Good luck :)
