Hi! I'm new to this site, and also fairly new to makeup. I just started wearing over the summer, so I kinda have a lot to learn. High School Junior. Any tips or warnings of mistakes I could make/be making? Or maybe some tricks or strategies to help me improve? Thanks much!

Right shade for fondation

Here's some tips I've learned:
- you can find the right tone of foundation by matching it to your chest, or to your face in natural light.
- blend your foundation under your chin & onto your neck a little to avoid that "mask" look.
- if using a cream/liquid foundation, set it with powder! your body heat heats up the foundation causing it to "melt" which makes it settle into pores & fine lines & just looks awful.
- don't apply black eyeliner to only your bottom waterline (where your lashes grow), it makes your eyes look small, & weird honestly :/ apply to the top lid, it will make it more open.
- don't wear super dark shadow for just going to school, & especially not everyday.. you'll look like a raccoon (x
- experiment with products until you find one that works best for you.
- buy a concealer that's 1 tone lighter than your skin, it can double as a subtle highlighter for you for now.
- do your research! so many girls on here buy a product & then ask what it does exactly or if it's the right one for them. you'll be wasting money if you buy the wrong product & you will learn after really getting into it.. makeup is EXPENSIVE.
- if you do put on blush, don't go crazy! put some on your brush, blow on it to get the excess off, & then apply to the apples of the cheeks & blend up your check bone.
- if you get the mascara wand as close to your lash roots as possible & give it a little wiggle or twist as your going up the lashes, it will give you lots of volume & length to your lashes. don't just coat the ends, it's all about the roots ;D
-practice, practice, practice!

I could honestly go on for hours about everything that I've learned :p but these are kinda the basics I guess!

Don't put blush on the apples of your cheeks while smiling. once you stop smiling, it drops causing your blush to go lower when it should be on your cheek bones.
