If you are asking how to put on makeup.. here are some general suggestions

1. swipe some bronzer over your cheekbones and around your face in a 3 shape

2. conceal all blemishes and dark circles. ( green concealers are great for covering red splotches.

3. Add a light top coat of mineralized powder.

4. Add some blush to the apples of your cheek.

5. Swipe some highlighter on your cheekbones, eyebrow bone, and the inner corner of your eyes.

6. curl lashes and add mascara

7. put a champagne colour all over lid, put a taupe or brown in the crease. Line the upper lid and smudge slightly

TA-DAAA you have it a perfect day look

A lot of doing your makeup well has to do with matching colors and knowing what's best for your skin type.

Here's a few very basic steps to doing your makeup:

Always wash your face at night and in the morning-it provides a clean canvas for your makeup.

Before applying makeup to your face use a moisturizer. This keeps some of the makeup from clogging your pores and prevents dry skin.

Find out what kind of skin tone you have-cool, warm or neutral-and find a matching foundation. Apply the foundation all over to even out skin tone. Also apply concealer in places you want to cover up especially like pimples, scar, birth marks etc.

You should choose colors of eyeshadow that will correspond with your eye color. You can use colors on the opposite side of the color wheel to make your eye color seem more intense or a color similar to your own to brighten your eyes or make them pop.

You should have three different shades of the eyeshadow when you apply it. The lightest color should go across you eyebrow bone and on the inner corner of your eyes. This will highlight your eyes and make them appear larger. The medium color should cover the entire eyelid and the darkest should be applied to the outer corner and inside the crease. This adds further dimension and emphasis on the shape of your eye.

Eyeliner should be used lightly along the natural lash line and only put on the inner rims of the eyes when trying to make a more dramatic look. Colors can be used differently: for instance using a bright color like a blue along the upper eyelash can brighten your eyes or you can use a darker eyeliner and do a slight flick upwards at the outer corner of your eyes to open them up and add flair. Color of eyeliner should also match your hair-if you have a darker shade of hair then use darker shades of liner, but if you have lighter shades of hair then try a brown eyeliner instead of the traditional black so as to not have your makeup look strange or unnatural.

Mascara is one of the makeup products that you should spend the most money on because they are much better quality when they have higher price tags and can make a big difference. When applying mascara try to keep your lashes separated to avoid the clumpy look and try to get them as long as you can but don't apply more than three coats. Many women over-use their mascara so be careful with this one.

Choose between blush and bronzer-don't use both. You'll only look cakey if you use both. Blush will add a rosey glow to your face while bronzer can be used to contour bone structure and make a summery look. Both should be applied along the cheekbone from the apples of your cheeks moving outward. You can also use a highlighter (something even just like a shimmery eyeshadow that's a lighter, neutral color) along the tops of your cheekbones to add a dewy, healthy look to your skin.

Keep choice of lip colors to skin tones and on the warmer side of the palette. Don't try anything like neon green or blue, it's extremely tacky and just wrong. If you're going for a natural look then keep to more muted colors but if you're going out or want something more dramatic colors then feel free to use brighter colors like Fire Engine Red.

But keep in mind that you should have one thing to focus on. If you're going to do a bright bold color on your lips then keep your eye shadows neutral and vice versa. You should bring attention to only one feature on your face at a time. Otherwise there's no place for the eye to rest and too many extreme features could be overwhelming.

Well, this turned into something a little more than, "basic" like I said it would be and I doubt you'll read the whole thing. If you do, then kudos to you and I hope this helped!

Mascara: Brush slowly on your eylashes then get an eylash brush and brush that on your eyelashes to remove clumps the mascara made. Lipstick: Roll up the lipstick and aplly a small amount onto your lips, then blot using a paper towel. Eyeliner: Apply onto the tops of your eyelashes not on them. Using to much can cause vision problems. Eyeshadow: Rub the brush on your eyeshadow then apply on your eyelids.

If you don't know which kind to use go to a dermatologist and talk to them about it. If you aren't sure on which shade of makeup looks better, take pics of the different shades.
