Makeup

So I want to start wearing makeup. I look plain in my pictures but I don't feel plain in person. Does that make sense? When I look in the mirror I feel that I look fine, but when I look at my pictures I'm like... that looks so basic. lol So I want to wear makeup but something for enhancing the beauty that I have. I don't want to look too different without makeup that makes a person look twice at me and question if I'm the same person, especially when dating. I'd rather a guy be attracted to me, all of me, flaws and all. Rather than deceive him. Okay deceive isn't the word that I'm looking for, but I don't want him to be disappointed when I'm bare faced or wearing minimal makeup. That's not cool.

I might go to a makeup counter or something. Idk. So far I like this mineral blush (or something can't remember what but I know it when I see it) that is by L'oreal. The color is honey glow and it looks awesome on me. Now I have to work on my eyes and lips. I REALLY like how people apply their eyeshadows and do the blending but for some reason I don't think it would look good on me. For now I'll stay with basic colors, neutrals, purples and greys. I might graduate to other colors as I perfect my skill.

Ooooh something else that I was told about is using paint brushes as makeup applicators. They are cheaper and comparable. Can't wait to try those out. I'll have to hit up Michael's or some random art store.

You can find the comparisons (MAC brushes vs. Painting brushes) here:
