makeup help!!

the first pic is just me with vaseline on my lips and the other 2 is my skin in natural and artificial lighting. Ive never done makeup! The most I’ve done is concealer under my eyes but I want to enhance myself now. I saw a debate on tiktok on #baddiemakeup vs #cutesymakeup. I think cutesy makeup would fit me more but i’m not sure! I trying to clear up the texture on my skin so hopefully I wont need a full make routine. I’m kinda lazy. #helpmemakeup#blackgirl #collegemakeup

... Read moreStarting makeup for the first time can feel overwhelming, but focusing on enhancing your natural features with minimal effort is a great approach. Since you are debating between #baddiemakeup and #cutesymakeup, it’s helpful to understand the differences and how each style complements different skin types and personalities. #BaddieMakeup is typically bold, featuring sharp contouring, defined brows, dramatic lashes, and often vibrant lips or striking eye makeup. It suits those who want a confident, edgy look. However, it usually requires more product use and technique. #CuteMakeup leans towards a softer, more natural appearance, emphasizing dewy skin, soft blush, subtle eyeshadow, and tinted lips. This style enhances youthful, glowing features and can be achieved with a minimal routine, making it ideal if you prefer a low-maintenance look. Since you mentioned working on clearing skin texture and wanting to skip a heavy makeup routine, focusing on skincare is a key step. A consistent cleansing routine, gentle exfoliation, moisturizing, and targeted treatments like serums help improve skin health. Using a light concealer only where needed can brighten your face without feeling heavy. Try incorporating products with hydrating and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C to even out skin tone and texture. For lazy days, a tinted moisturizer or BB cream can provide light coverage with added skincare benefits. Lighting can affect makeup appearance, so experimenting with natural and artificial light is helpful to see how your makeup and skin look throughout the day. Also, consider makeup brushes or sponges for easier blending and a flawless finish. Lastly, embrace your unique features and choose a style that boosts your confidence, whether it’s the bold #baddiemakeup or the gentle #cutesymakeup. Remember, makeup is a form of self-expression, and simplicity can be just as beautiful as glamour.

Does anyone have any tips for keeping my makeup from getting shiny and oily after only a few hours? I use a primer before and do a skin care routine but I can’t seem to keep my makeup from turning shiny after a few hours.
