Questions and Answers

Q: What can I do to make my eyeshadow last longer?
Apply eye cream in the morning, the added emollients will make the eyeshadow stick. Also, you can buy a special eyeshadow primer that is designed to make your eyeshadow last longer.

Q: What is the difference between concealer and foundation?
Concealer is used to cover under-eye circles and/or pigmentation problems where foundation is used to even skin tone and cover minor imperfections.

Q: What types of eyeliner are there?
The three main types of eyeliner are pencil, gel/cream, and liquid. I personally prefer pencil, but it all depends on the look you are going for.

Q: Is foundation really a "must have"?
Foundation isn't a "must have" if you don't want it to be. Everybody has a different type of skin, some might have more to cover than others, but if you don't want to have to deal with foundation maybe try concealer.

Q: How do I cover my under-eye circles?
Some people only get under-eye circles when they are tired, but other people get them no matter what they do. I would recommend using some sort of eye cream if you get them chronically, but if you are just tired and you only get them occasionally, try using concealer. If you are in a pinch and you don't have concealer, try using a lot of foundation (being careful that you don't make it look too cakey). It won't cover them completely but you will at least get more coverage than if you didn't wear anything at all.

Q: Does makeup really clog your pores?
Yes, foundation does really clog your pores. If you have acne, wearing makeup is a double-edged sword. Some people feel more confident if they cover their acne, but it can clog your pores making acne worse. I am a foundation-wearing person; it really is a personal preference. But I do recommend washing your face at night to get all of the dirt and makeup out of your pores.

Q: I want to wear makeup, but I don't know how to start.
Depending on your age, you might want to start with just mascara and some powder. If you are older, maybe try a light eyeshadow and some blush. You should start wherever you feel comfortable starting.
