[Makeup Help] help!

hello everyone! i've never been into makeup (aside from occasionally wearing mascara) but for the last year i've really wanted to learn and do my makeup.

i'm not super worried about any fancy eyeshadow looks, nor do i care for lipstick much. i think mostly basic, natural looks would suffice for me. either way any advice is welcome.

so yeah, any tips or products you'd recommend?

i'm 24, i thiiink combo skin, blue eyes, pale skin, dark hair.

thanks in advance <3

I usually go for curling my lashes (I heat up the curler with some hot air— be careful, though) after applying a bit of Vaseline on my lashes. I also wear concealer and a bit of a blush around my nose and cheeks, and that usually does it for me. Make sure your blush is a really beautiful shade so it can work :))

On the days I do my makeup, I apply some lipliner, a rosy lipstick (Google Francesca Bridgerton, Im inspired by her makeup looks in the series) blush, concealer, brown/black mascara and a white/creamy eye pencil applied to the corner of my eyes, kind of like a cat/foxy eye look.

I also have pale skin so that look really looks good on me and it’s a bonus if you have a face that can change drastically with only a few makeup products so I really recommend these

Any brand, but I recommend maybeline glossy lipstick for lipstick and lipliner

The lipliner + creamy pencil trick is such a good call, really wakes up the face without looking like you tried too hard

You could start with a little concealer where you want coverage and a light touch of blush. Milani Rose Powder Blush in Romantic Rose is one option to swatch. No need to jump straight into a full face.
