Makeup help for clueless 51 year old

Hi

newbie here 👋🏻

I’ve not worn makeup at all in recent years, and even back when I did, it was usually pretty much just powder and mascara. I’ve got a wedding soon and need to get my makeup sorted for it. I hate feeling “overdone” and am clueless with any techniques so am looking for simple easy products, and as it’s really just for the one day, low end budget items. I have dark brown eyes and hair, medium skin tone (that flushes in heat), and currently use simple hyaluronic serums.

Please hit me with your must haves!

thank you ☺️

To add…. I can’t go to stores due to anxiety issues so would be buying solely online 🥺

Have you got You Tube? If you search high street makeup tutorials (you'll be there hours watching) there are so many great little videos with product reviews and simple tutorials to follow. Boots online usually have loads of great offers on makeup and delivery is always pretty quick with them. Good luck!

Lisa Eldridge has some lovely videos on makeup and if you comment underneath asking for advice she’s usually very responsive.
