Okay, I'm now 17 years old & I don't know much about makeup lol. I try watching YouTube tutorials, but I don't the money or patience for it all. My morning routine consists of mascara & a lip balm and occasionally lipstick. I also CANNOT apply eyeliner without looking like a raccoon someone please help.

Watching YouTube videos will help a lot! I started in the same place that your in now 3 years ago. Just take time out of your day if time will allow and just practice on your face, wash it off and practice some more! It's a little easier than it looks. Practice really does make perfect!

*now that I'm an old hag I have to make time to add product most days..

When I first started playing with makeup I was just like you! I only knew how to apply mascara and lipliner lol! But you're so lucky that youtube beauty gurus are more popular now then they were years ago! I would suggest starting out with a simple pencil liner and lightly smudging it along your lash line, play with it and see how it works for you. liquid liner can be too messy when your first learning so start out with a good pencil liner first! you don't have to spend a lot of money when you first start with makeup! I would suggest wet n wild, nyc, and elf there pretty inexpensive and good quality for beginners! hope that helps, if you have any more questions feel free to ask me! :) here's a pic of me at 14 (before) when I first tried wearing makeup and then the (after pic) of me at 20 which was my makeup of a few weeks ago!

Just give yourself extra time every morning to apply makeup. Apply it as much as possible. Practice practice practice. I learned before there was such thing as YouTube tutorials just by forcing myself to put stuff on my face haha. It won't be perfect and you will make mistakes but everyone goes through this process

If you don't have the patience, you're not going to get better. Makeup is a skill -and like any skill- in order to get better at it you really have to practice. I've been wearing makeup for for nearly five years now and I STILL haven't mastered wing eyeliner. If you actually want to be "good" you really have to apply yourself.
