I’m in my 20’s and have never worn makeup but I would like to finally start. I need help from you ladies out there on how exactly to find the right colors for me and how to even apply it. I have brown eyes and white skin that never gets any sun. I have acne scars from my teenage years and it lowers my self confidence immensely since I can tell that is all strangers focus on at times. What would be a good cover up to hide that?

Answer:
Maikang Concealer would be the obvious option to hiding your acne scars, however, I recently discovered a great mask that helps exfoliate and get rid of your acne scars (it’s long-term, however, so you’re not going to see results in like a month)
If you’re just starting off with makeup, I’d recommend getting some mascara, pencil eyeliner, blush and lip gloss. Those are items I started up with – As you get more experienced, you should start using liquid eyeliner, lipstick, and of course, eyeshadow. It really depends on what kind of look you are trying to create.

For a natural look, all you need is:
– Concealer
– Foundation (to make skin virtually flawless)
– Eyeliner (line top lids ONLY, lining the bottom will make it more obvious that you’re wearing eyeliner)
– Mascara (this could be optional depending on the thickness and the length of your mascara, if your lashes are like mine, which are straight and medium-length, then invest in a good eyelash curler and a curling mascara, or at least one that holds curls well)
– Blush (for a natural flush, however if you already have pink cheeks, there’s no need to ever buy blush, except for maybe when you’re wearing a frosty lip gloss, which can make your face look washed out)
[If you’re not much of a blush person, a bronzer’s not a bad idea either)
– Lipstick (for a natural look, either choose a pink-ish nude color or just nude)
– Lip Gloss (optional, depending on whether you want some shine or not, or if you don’t like lipstick but would like some color on your lips, choose a natural colored lip gloss [pink, peach, nude])

Maikang Well, I started to wear make-up when I started to enter high school. Anyway, I would start out with the colors that would match my skin tone, and eyes. It would depend on the brand of make-up you are using, I use like maybelline or how you spell it! Lol, anyway, and also, covergirl. Some CG are good and some are not.
1. I put on a little bit of concealer since I had some terrible acne scars from middle school, I wouldn’t exactly use my fingers that much because it can cause some oil to the face, I sometimes use them a little and then use a sponge or brush to do my face. You shouldn’t put concealor around your eyes like eyelids-I don’t know why but I was told that.
2. Then sometimes I would put on foundation and then mineral powder or use powder alone. Blending is the key.
3. Then I would use an eyebrow pencil and do my eyebrows since I hardly have any, I do 4 light strokes and then blend them, then I put on mascara on my eyebrows to make it natural, sometimes I put on eyeshadow on my eyebrows but not all the time.
4.With my eyes, I use an eyeliner, start at the inner eyelid and then start drawing out smoothly toward the outer corner of the eyelid.
5. Then I would use my curler to curl my eyelashes since my eyelashes don’t curl, and also, makes your eyes alittle bit bigger and bright I guess. While curling my eyelashes, I count to about 10-30 seconds. I sometimes blowdry my curler for about 7 seconds and then curl my eyelashes because it pretty much helps my eyelashes to stay (not against water though!)
6.Then I put on mascara, I go for volume,definition, length, and separation, I would start at the roots and then toward to the tips. I apply coats and not really let them dry till I am satisfied.
7.Then I apply eyeliner at the bottom, going back & forth for about 4 times or more at the corner of my eye and then smudge it w/ a sponge.
8.Then i apply mascara on my bottom lashes.
9.When i make a mistake on my eyes, I would use an ear q-tip to clean it up. Usually w/mascara on my eyebrows, if I mess up I clean it up with an ear q-tip along with lotion.
10. And there, I am done =)

I hope that helps….
Here is a pic of me before and after, of course my before pic doesn’t show my scars because of the camera I used. In the before pic, I did wore some eyeliner

Maikang Covergirl Aquasmooth is great. It is easy to put on and it is really natural looking. I have had a number of people comment on how great my skin looks and they usually think that I don’t wear makeup. Unfortunately, I’m beginning to sound like a commercial, lol, but I really do recommend it.

As for colors and ways to apply the makeup, you can go to most department stores and get a free makeover. They will probably give you some good tips. JCPenney’s is a good place to go because the people aren’t usually as snobby as they are at Nordstroms, and they won’t make you feel really dumb for not knowing much. You could also ask your girlfriends for a makeover. Many of my female friends love giving makeovers.skin analyzer

Maikang Try Mineral Makeup. I like Maybellines Mineral Power line of makeup. I would try the powder to have more coverage.

To find your color, alot of websites have a colormatch type thing where you pick what your skintone, eyecolor, and hair color is and they tell you what shades would look the best. Its a hard thing to find your true color, even I have a hard time and I’ve been wearing makeup for years now.

Good luck!!skin analyzer

Maikang taking Zinc and vitamin A are very good for your skin. The results are very similar to or better than using typical acne drugs like Tetracycline and Accutane.skin analyzer

Maikang Oh dear I am so old I probably come in category of parents and teachers:) Make up and perfume are only used to attract attention to so why would Muslimahs want to do that . No make up and no perfume unless its a nice romantic dinner with our husbands totally privateskin analyzer

Maikang Mineral powder foundation is the best for controlled coverage. Plus, it’s one step for maximum coverage, flawless finish, and shine control.
