Help me learn about makeup

I am considering changing my look a bit - going from glasses to contacts.

I like wearing glasses because of simplicity of use and the handy side effects of covering my under-eye circles.

But I am interested in a change and need to learn how to use makeup after not wearing it consistently since my teen years.

I need something simple and cheap. I plan to start small, so what would that mean to you? Mascara, concealer, lipstick?

I have been going through an awful time lately and am not sleeping well. I don't want to look stressed anymore but can't afford a huge expense. Help!

I’d pop to a make up counter and ask for s simple make over. You can book at some places. I found bare minrersls v good. They’ll look st you skin and suggest. Last time I went for a wander round afterwards to check how it looked in daylight and then bought concealer, foundation and some blusher.

Thanks. How much was that, please?

The make up? About £40 but it’s lasted months. Make over was free. No 7 can do a good job too.

I would go for a mascara and lip gloss if I was wanting the biggest impact for a small amount of money. You can get great mascaras for under a fiver. The Maybelline Great Lash mascara world really well.
Tutorials on you tube will help if you're struggling to apply but it's really easy.

Works really well! ^

I'm currently changing my look too. Have been watching 'natural make up' vids on YouTube.

Found this one via fb and liked it so much I've ordered both the glow products. They're arriving this week so will be interesting to see if they're as easy use as they say!

At the moment I wear concealer over and under eyes, bare looking eyeshadow, mascara and then blusher. Would like to look a bit more glowy though.
