Hi everyone! So I actually rarely wear makeup, and when I do it's only mascara and maybe lip gloss. I want to start wearing more, but there are a few things holding me up. First, I have no idea how to apply makeup. Second, I have no idea what products to buy. Third, I exercise daily (volleyball) and I don't want to have a super disgusting face by the end of my practice, so basically whatever makeup I wear has to be pretty sweat proof. I also prefer a natural look. Any tips about where I should start or what products I should buy? I have a pretty low budget. I'm a complete beginner so just give me everything you got! Thanks!!

Ps. I have oily, acne prone skin.

YouTube is great for learning how to apply makeup. You can find a video about almost any product whether its applying foundation, concealer, eye shadow etc. YouTube is what helped me learn basic techniques & I still watch daily to try to improve or learn something new. Hope that helps!

As far as makeup goes, I suggest to start slowly by integrating a couple of user-friendly products such as a chubby shadow liner, which are easy to use, because they don't require precise application. And also a chubby lip pencil. Again, easy to use, because, most of the time is you use a matte or cream formula you won't need a lipliner and you'll still get a moderately defined lip.

Clinique chubby sticks all the way! They have them in numerous shades of most of the basic makeup things:)
