I don't normally wear makeup, so I am a bit clueless, on where to start.
Does anyone have any good tips for beginners. Especially on how to choose concealers and foundations.
I would like to finally start to get comfortable with make up, but I don't want to look like a clown starting out. :)

I'm still new-ish to makeup. I've always worn a little but only recently I have been doing my makeup every day. What I did was buy a couple of things from e.l.f. to try so I could practice and find what I like before buying nicer more expensive brands. I also watch a lot of the beauty guru's on YouTube for help, emilynoel83 is fantastic!

I'm the same way right now, and everyday I do a different look of makeup to make my practice perfection! My biggest advice is to stand in the bathroom mirror with your makeup collection and watch tutorials on YouTube (: XOXO💋

I highly recommend visiting www.makeupgeek.com and watching tutorials and reading articles. That's how I got started and it was really helpful. :)

Melissa, if your new to this and are ok with spending at least $50, go to A local Sephora store to learn. They offer appointments with certified artists where if you buy a $50 gift card, you get a FREE 1 hour consultation. No fees on top of it, just an hour with a professional to learn and ask questions. Afterward, you can use your $50 gift card to purchase products you decide you like or take home samples and come back and use your gift card when your ready. This way, you know your starting on the right foot with makeup.
