Make-up, Grr! Options

Who else cannot stand make-up? I cannot, for the life of me, wear make-up. My sister is an expert but I am a total stintz when it comes to applying make-up. I tried to put on mascara yesterday. 'Twas horrible. Let's just say it looked as though I had a black eye. The fact that my eyelashes are really long and touches my glasses doesn't make me want to wear it often... or ever, really. Eyeshadow? Don't have the patience for it. Eye-liner? Hands aren't steady enough. Lipstick? Generally don't like lipstick. Something's wrong with this picture here. I'm not a tomboy either.

Hi.
If you are wanting to start wearing makeup, but do not know how to begin, I can give you some tips.
for your lips, try just using a tinted gloss or lip balm. Its way better than using yucky lipstick anyways.
If you wear glasses, and you have long eyelashes, maybe you should just skip the mascara. It dont seem like you would need it anyways.
A basic shiny, pale eyeshadow would brighten up your face like you wouldnt beleive! It also only takes a couple seconds to do, too. Just swip the applicator with shadow over the entire lid, but not too much, just enough to make it show up, then blend ti gently with your finger tip.
If eyeliner seems too scary to you, (although it really isnt scary) you could skip it, but its easy to apply. Just make sure that the point it sharpened, but not too sharp. you could soften the tip with your fingers or a tissue. So, just put little under your bottom eyelashes then with a Q-tip, blend it by kinda wiping it off.
If you do all this, there should be very little makeup on your face, it should take very little time, and you will see that it will give you a more finished look.
Makeup isnt needed at all, I think. Makeup really is just so that us girls can feel better about ourselves once in a while. Most guys will always say we look better without it. This is so true!
I would suggest that sence you wear glasses, its a good idea to make sure that your eyebrows are groomed, tweezed, waxed, shaped, or something. Sence your glasses bring attention to your eyes, girls always look better if their eyebrows are in shape.

I hope that you take at least one of my tips with you.
Have a lovely day,
Brandy
