I don't wear makeup like some other girls, I want to, but I don't know what to buy! Or what type, I see that some have numbers for your skin tone and there's so many that it confuses me!
what kind of foundation, what else do I need and how do you use it?! what comes first!?
I'm 19 and its kind of embarrassing.. lol..

First what is your skin type? are you oily dry normal or combo?

Do you need foundation?? I don't wear it because I have clear skin, and I'm also 19. I'd start with some eyeliner, neutral eyeshadow and a good mascara, to be honest.

I have a combination of skin,
@Hannah, I don't know what else you wear besides foundation, I'm just asking what the process :)
@Rebecca, thank you! it did help!

I agree with Hannah on if you don't need foundation then don't wear it. I usually only wear it when I what a flawless face. But I wear concealer everyday for dark circles or if I have a blemish. If you do wear foundation make sure it matches your skin tone and is right for your skin type (oily, dry, combo, sensitive). Look on youtube for makeup guru's as far as products go and application. But no matter what you wear, make sure you are removing it at the end of the day! This is my makeup routine but it'll probably seem like a lot to you but I love makeup lol
1. Wash face
2. Moisturize (CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion
3. Primer (apply all over the face for smooth foundation application,
I use Benefit PoreFessionals or Rimmel Primer)
4. Foundation (I use Clinique Even Better & I apply it with a brush from Sephora)
5. Apply Concealer if needed (Hard Candy Glamoflauge, really thick and covers everything, applied with same foundation brush)
6. Brows (you don't have to do this, but it is so important to me)
7. Eyes (primer first with milani eyeshadow primer or urban decay primer potion, curl eyelashes, eyeshadow wet n wild is amazing and cheap, eyeliner I use L'Oreal Infalliable in dark brow because I think black is too dark for my fair skin, and then mascara I use L'Oreal Butterfly Waterproof; waterproof helps hold curl better).
8. Blush (I love Milani baked blushes)
9. Lips (Maybelline lip balm and I use lip gloss over the balm)
And thats pretty much my routine, it sounds like a lot but its really lengthy trying to type and it explain if. But definitely check out youtube for how to's and other questions you may have

Get a lovely pinky cream blusher. That'll make you look a lot perkier and made up.
