Big Hugs to you! I didn't start figuring out makeup until I was about your age. Now I am 35 and I'm having to refigure it all out again, having not worn much for ages and needing some different things. It can be so scary, but so fun!

IMPORTANT QUESTION: how much time do you have before the big day? Very important because more time will allow you to research, experiment, and maybe buy stuff cheaper on Ebay or discount makeup sites.

I myself have not worn mascara for years as it was always smearing on my glasses. I've done some research and I'm about to try a tubing mascara. This is something new to me; the mascara forms little microfibre tubes around your lashes. Supposedly it's smearproof and cry-proof. It doesn't require makeup remover. You get it off by getting in the shower; the heat and WARM water swell the tubes, then you gently slide them off with your fingers.

Problems with tubing mascaras are they do seem to straighten some people's lashes a bit, and some people feel they don't make a dramatic enough change to their eyelashes' appearance. I'm so curious to try.

My toddler just woke up so I'm going to come back later to talk about websites, tutorials, shopping and your other makeup. ♥
