Hello :)
I have only just been slowed to start wearing makeup, and I was wondering if anybody had any tips for me, especially with my eyes. I can seem to do a straight line with eye liner :(
Thank you :)

Well that mean that you are young if your are just now allowed. A tip is try not to go overboard with it. I've been there and the look and comment that you will get at school are crazy! Just use foundation that matches your tone and powder on top so you don't look shiny. If you want you can blush but if not just use smudge able eyeliner to make it look natural and an eyeshadow a little deeper than your tone.

For uneven lines, just draw a big, giant line on both eyes and use a wet q-tip to shape and design it.

*do not pull your eyes when applying eyeliner as the line will apply a lot bigger and it will go wrong for more control put your elbow on a solid surface
*put a foundation powder on your lips before applying lipstick for longer use
*if you ever get any red areas on your skin apply green concelar before any other makeup
*use a makeup setting spray or primer so makeup stays on longer
*use a powder for a matte finish
*if you want a full coverage use foundation and a bb cream for a lighter coverage which evens out skin tone
*if a lipstick ever seems too much for you fold some tissue and just dab then on that
good luck!

Small strokes are better than trying to do one whole line of eyeliner. start off with the middle part of your eyelid right along your lash line and build up the thickness.. then work towards your corners! Also, it's easier to clean up liquid liner mistakes when it has dried, rather than making a mess and ruining your shadow trying to clean it while it's still fresh. Practice using pencil first. Then you can work your way into using liquids. Some liquids are available in pen form with a felt tip.. maybe that's easier. Once you get your shaping down, I suggest liquids with brushes and gel liner. (:
