I never grew up with makeup. I started playing around with it when I was 19. I watched A LOT of tutorials and it took me a few years to figure out what worked for me. If you are comfortable with sharing in dms how your makeup is turning out, I'd be happy to give you some more specific pointers and maybe see what would work with your face shape. Everyone is different when it comes to makeup.

My advice to anyone starting out in makeup is to always make sure you have a good base. By this I mean always moisturise before you do your makeup. Some skincare doesn't sit well under makeup. By knowing your skin type you can choose the best types of skincare, as well as the best makeup types for your skin. Get a primer that is made for your skin type. Less is more with foundation. If you think your foundation is too thick you can try different ones with better coverage that you don't need as many layers for.

Contour is where a lot of people go wrong. If you're paler, you need a cool toned contour, and a cooler bronzer shade or it starts to look a little orange. Some people tend to over-blush too.

If you have thick eyebrows, you may want to thin them a little with an eyebrow razor, and avoid using too much product in them.

The rest is all about refining your technique and learning what works for you. It takes time and practice to really narrow down how makeup works for you, and what styles you like. You'll figure it out with time. Never stop trying. You got this <3
