WARNING: This post is going to be very vague. Basically I am wondering - what is the deal with makeup??? I have recently taken an interest in putting some more effort into my appearance, since I currently do the least. However, I generally look pretty good with just eyeliner and mascara (#brag), so just imagine how great I could look if I took an extra 10 minutes in the morning to do something interesting with my face!
My dilemma is multi-faceted: I am a crunchy hippie about what I put on my body, I am mostly low-maintenance, I am mostly broke, but I want to look fierce. Where do I go from here?? How do I get started? Do good eco-friendly brands that won't break the bank exist? Are lines specifically tailored to darker-skinned/~ethnic~ women more "worth it"? Can I wear red lipstick without looking like a clown? AM I TOO OLD FOR GLITTER EYESHADOW?
Help me, o makeup experts! I am looking for general advice on how to begin my foray into the world of cosmetics, but any specific tips and tricks would be helpful. I like to wear bright, bold colors and patterns so I am thinking I should take a more subtle/darker approach to my face so that I don't look completely ridiculous. It is winter so I am about two shades darker than a cardboard box. I am iffy about foundation. My skincare needs are very minimal. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
