Q:Hi Shannon! I'm thinking about using make-up now. What do you personally think I should do to gradually get into the habit... like step by step. I only use a small amount of powder daily to even out my tone, and brow gel to fix my brows. I have a tan colored skin with brown eyes and dark brown hair. What are some good lip colors for my type, etc. Thanks! :)

Hello! :) Since you’re just beginning, I would advice you to build a drugstore starter kit for everyday use made up of the essentials (foundation, powder, concealer, eyeliners, blush, mascara, neutral quad, lipstick/gloss, primers)

I would recommend the following to start with:

Hard Candy Sheer Envy Face Primer
ELF $1 Eyelid Primer
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation
Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
Revlon PhotoReady Concealer
L’Oreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner
Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Definer (eyeliner)
CoverGirl Cheekers Blush
L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara
Maybelline Eyeshadow Quad in Chai Latte
Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle

You could use these however and whenever you’d want, I’m just recommending these to start with! :) Since we have the same skin color I’d recommend you trying out different peachy or mauvy lipsticks and glosses. The lip butter I recommended is my absolute favorite. Revlon has quite a range of lip glosses and lipsticks you could choose from :)
