I 26f have never worn makeup besides at my sister’s wedding, and someone did my makeup. This coming year I will be going to a couple friends wedding. I don’t want to wear a full face of makeup but I want to have enough to cover up any potential acne. I sometimes get hormonal acne that takes forever to go away.
I have no idea where to start, what I need or videos to watch. I started trying to google stuff but there just so much that I felt lost. I also know nothing about brands. I don’t want to spend a ton as I will only be using if for special occasions, but I want to avoid cheap and low quality things. Any advice on where to start and brands would be greatly appreciate.
I wear all drug store, I used to spend tons of money at Sephora and honestly I was disappointed a lot of the time. I hate the full face look now, I like that dewy “your skin but better” kind of look. Get a good primer (elf poreless primer), a concealer that matches your skin tone (I like nyx bare with me). Put some concealer on the back of your hand and use a small stippling brush to gently dab a tiny amount of concealer onto spots that bother you. This avoids having a full cake face of makeup, and only puts makeup where you want it. Grab a nice blush to add some colour to your face, you can get some translucent powder to gently “set” the areas you put concealer on. A brow gel is an easy way to add some fullness and shape to your brows. Grab some mascara (waterproof is good for a long night like a wedding). A nice lip gloss (I love the maybelline lifter gloss). You can get a matte setting spray to top everything off.
