Hey hun, seems like you have the same problem I had last week, what kind of makeup do you usually wear? x

You don't need much! Maybe a little mascara or eyeliner.

But I think you could really work the neutral makeup, which is basically layered brown eyeshadow on jusy the eye lid and create emphasis on the crease of your eyelid with either a really dark brown eyeshadow or black powder, then blend it out to make it look natural, and with your lips, use a nude colour lipstick and apply gloss to only the middle of your lips so that it doesn't look too caked on. This will create a simple cute look, and I will podt pics of the nude lipstick You should use.
With your cheeks, go for a natural bronzer which isn't dark, but it's basically a powder a shade darker than your natural skin tone.
Make a fish face (hehe) and where the creases are, apply the powder to create emphasis on your cheek bones, and then blend out with a large powder brush.
Then, on your actual cheekbones, apply a small amount of blusher, but make sure it isn't too vibrant because it will looked caked.
Blend the 2 together, and this will make you look more defined and slimmer at the jaw.
If you want, apply a thin line of eyeliner and a coat of mascara, but only apply the eyeliner halfway along your waterline to show emphasize the shape of your eyes.
This should help if you're struggling, and I will send pictures x

I don't think you need so much makeup! mascara is a must for everyone! get yourself a sheer foundation or a powder... blush, bronzer and maybe lip gloss and your good!
