It takes a lot of experimentation to find a makeup look that
you love. Start by checking out some magazines to get basic
ideas and then head for the stores. Peruse the counters at your
local department stores and find a line that catches your
attention. Talk to the sales associates and makeup artists and
take notes! Most will be happy to give you pointers and even a
quick makeover. For a more involved consultation, an appointment
will be necessary.
Before purchasing any products, make sure you are comfortable
with them and are familiar with the steps required to achieve
the look on your own. There’s nothing worse than drawers full of
cosmetics that you are not comfortable using. Most importantly,
be patient - don’t expect perfection the first time out there!
