I've never really worn make up, only for special occasions, so I was looking for recommendations and tips for a beginner, like what to buy (from statch) and how to use it. And help is much appreciated.
I have pale skin (plenty of blemishes) blue eyes, and brown hair.
I'm also 19

YouTube tutorials! You'll have a better understanding watching it. :) essentials to start a makeup kit I would invest in brown and black eyeliner, neutral eyeshadow palettes such as the urban decay naked palettes or wet n wild ones as a cheaper alternative. Mascara, a good foundation (Revlon color stay is great for medium to full coverage or silk creme foundation for oily skin) research for foundation depending on your skin type. A rosey pink blush would look great on you such as Mac dame or pink swoon. Wet n wild offers cheap and very nice blushes as well. And an everyday nude lipstick that is close to your natural lip shade. And perhaps a black liquid liner, brow powder once you get more experimenting with makeup. These are optional as from your photo your eyebrows look quite defined already. Hope this helped xx

Youtube videos like Nicole Guirrero(I think thats how you spell it.)Or Dulce Candy.. She has a million subscribers. Or even Jaclyn Hill. But definitely invest in neutral palettes, eyeliners, blushes/bronzers(or you're face will look flat), a brush kit, a bb cream for light coverage, or foundations for more coverage, and some lipsticks.

Okay honey I got you covered! Literally! Ok, start with a washed, moisturized face. Take the clean oil free makeup by CoverGirl in classic ivory and apply it on the face with your hands like your moisturizer-blending down into the neck. Put enough on to blur imperfections...don't worry we are coming to that...now! Get your concealer by Maybeline (the one for dark circles-bear with me) in the color light and dab that over imperfections until they are so blurred they are virtually invisible! Lol use this under your eyes too :3 Next take your Dream Matte powder by Maybeline in the color light and lightly dust that all over your face and a tiny bit on your neck. Then, take your mascara by Revlon (grow luscious) in the shade blackest black and first build up the base of your upper lashes by wiggling at the base at least 5 times then continue to coat the lashes at least 3 times, wiggle wiggle wiggle! lol then lightly comb the bottom lashes with the remaining product! There is your easy, breezy, maybe she's born with it every day makeup, lovey :3 hope this helped you shine!
Here's the finished product! *and its not a lot- this stuff goes on very clean and easy*
