I'm 23 and I never used any make up in my whole life. I'm planning to buy a whole new makeup set but I don't know where and how to begin, and have no idea what to buy/ how to use them. Someone tell me what are the differences between:
- loose powder
- pressed powder
- foundation
??
And what are the steps in applying blushes?
Answer:
Loose powder is more natural looking on the skin. Pressed powder is usually for touch ups. Foundation is liquid that just "corrects" skin and makes it even.
Steps in applying blushes:
Step 1:
Select a color of blush that resembles the natural glow of your cheeks after you exercise. Consider having a lighter color for day, and a darker tone for a more dramatic evening look. Keep your blush in the same color family as your lipstick.
Step 2:
Consider the type of blush best suited to your skin type. Cream blush works very well for drier skin, as it can help to keep skin hydrated. Powder blush is better suited to oily skin.
Step 3:
Complete the application of foundation, powder and all eye makeup before applying blush.
Step 4:
Use a full, round brush for the application of your powder blush, as it will make for a softer and more professional look than the brush that comes with the blush. This should not be the same brush you use to apply your loose powder
Step 5:
Place a small amount of blush on the brush and gently tap off any excess. Or, place a small amount of cream on your middle finger.
Step 6:
Look in the mirror and smile.
Step 7:
Place powder blush on the apple of your cheek and gently brush up your cheekbone toward your hairline. Dot cream blush beginning at the apple, and gently blend up the cheekbone toward the hairline.
Step 8:
Focus your blush at the outside of your face near your hairline if you have a fuller face. For high cheekbones, concentrate blush in the center of your face to accentuate your bones.

Answer:
i've never used make up on my own either! however, i do have friends who do use it. I have a friend who recommends going to sephora where there are professional make up artists who will give you samples of the products they use on you so you can ask questions and see what works best.
Answer:
Well loose and pressed powder are exactly that…powder. They offer a more natural look and should be applied with a large brush. Foundation is generally a liquid that is used to cover up uneven skin. This should be applied with a sponge. If you are really unsure about what to buy and how to apply it, go to Macy's, Nordstroms, or Lord and Taylors. The make-up counters will usually do your make-up for free and show you what will go best with your complexion. Good luck!
Answer:
If you ever try a minerals foundaton, you'r e more than likley not to go back to a liquid once you start.
You do not have to join a club to get good minerals either, they are chocked full of bismuth, which is a filler, &is not good for your skin.
Get a good pure one from SmokyMountainMinerals, they usually ship free, & are about a thirdof the price!! been there done that.
