Ok , now I need a lot of help when it comes to makeup as I almost know nothing and I don't know where or how to start..
I want to learn everything..I don't even know what brush set to buy... I want to learn just for my own pleasure and not to take it as a profession.
are there any good online courses or recommended youtube channels for beginners like me?

In the Editorial section on here there is a 15pt. article called Building Your Makeup Kit.
it goes into extreme detail about basically EVERY aspect of makeup & is extremely beneficial. I highly recommend you check it out!

Youtube is great for beginners! I learned mostly from it because my mom didn't teach me much, since she doesn't wear makeup. a few things you should start out is 1. find your skin type (oily, dry, combination or normal) & skintone (cool- pink, or warm-yellow) & learn what makeup products are best for your specific skin type & tone. 2. blending is ALWAYS key to EVERY makeup look. blush should be blended, bronzer, foundation, concealer, everything! 3. you don't need makeup, only use what makes you happy, not what others say you should use. & of course, 4. do not be afraid to fail, the key to success is being courageous. even when it comes to makeup.

Also, a good person to watch for basic things is goosmakeupartist. his recommendations on products are not always accessible for us, but his tips are great for beginners!

@Reem you're welcome :3 I hope it helps you out at least a little, lol.
some good makeup channels are Petrilude (but you have to scroll down to his older videos) & GossMakeupArtist

@Reem, when blending, use clean, fluffy brushes that you didn't apply any makeup with. That helps with blending a lot =)

I definitely agree with Kyra's recommendation of the beautylish Editorial "Building Your Kit," it has an excellent explanation of everything you could imagine. Number 4 in the series features brushes! here's a link: http://www.beautylish.com/a/vxvvv/building-your-kit-part-4-brush-up
