i don't think i've ever come in this forum before??! ... anyway ... i was wondering
how exactly do you learn how to apply make up???
and how do you decide which is right for your skin type???
and if you wanted to get really dolled-up, what make up would you actually buy???
(this is a serious question btw, as i personally have no idea and i'd like to learn to use it... but i can't ask anyone i know.)

Do you want to cover up any spots or nasty bits? If yes u'll want a foundation, concealer and powder. My advice for this is less is better, and avoid orangey colours. Try a few out in the shop on your jawline and pick the nearest match.
As for eyes and lips and stuff, theres always websites that can help with this, for example this website
oh and this one
When I knew how to handle it, I bought lots and lots of eyeshadows from MAC (best brand ever) and never really wear anything else. My tip is to buy colors you like and mess about when you're home alone
Nowadays I have my own routines and different makeup styles for different ocassions. When I'm bored I tend to tip my makeup bag out and have a play around, mixing colours/styles/mediums until I find something I like.

You could go out for example, to superdrug, and I've even found a basic black Collection 2000 mascara was fine to wear normally and to experiment with. I played in safe with a not - too - dark - not - too - light purple or browny type eye shadow and applied that to the top lid, after a while I bought light glimmery shadows to put along the bottom eye line and a dab in the corner of my eye as I don't like to wear eyeliner - makes me look like I've been bopped in the eye, so I don't wear too dark a colours. General rules at work I'm encouraged to follow are - if you have large open eyes, light colours on your lids aren't encouraged, lighter colours give apparently make the eye seem more open. Lips, lighter colour don't emphasise the size, darker colours make lips appear bigger. You can apply lighter colours to the corner of your eye as if you apply a dark colour, looks like you've been bopped. This is rules used generally for when the consultants do makeovers. Just a few ideas
*thinks what i looked like at 15* :yuck:
