Hi

Please could you give me some help and advice?

I am 37 and have had the same make up routine for years. I put Rimmel foundation under my eyes and across my nose. I put Rimmel mascara on my eyelashes. I then put a tiny bit of powder blusher on my cheeks and a bit of eyeshadow on.

I basically don’t know how to do anything else. Other people seem to use primer, foundation, base coats, contouring, lip liner, eyeliner, etc… I don’t know where to start?

I recently started a new professional job and I can see my colleagues are more well groomed and polished than me.

If someone could recommend that I try just a couple more techniques that could make me look good (perhaps for work?) that would be amazing.

For context I have very light skin so anything too heavy makes me look like I’ve really overapplied it.

Thanks so much!

    Primer helps your foundation and eye shadow go on smoother and stay better. Start by using a light color eyeshadow over your upper eye pay more attention to the eyebrow area. Use a darker color for the outer edge of your eye. I would invest in some decent brushes. There are 3 I use. A foundation brush, big eyeshadow brush, and a smaller shadow brush.
