There are literally hundreds of choices to make when deciding what type of makeup is best for you. Skin type, skin color, age, climate, skin sensitivity, are just a few of the factors you need to take into account when choosing makeup. Begin with the basics. Foundation, blush, lip color, and eye shadow.
A good place to start is to decide what foundation will work best for you. Foundations can be as light and sheer as a tinted moisturizer, creams or liquids providing heavier coverage, or the newest choice, mineral powder foundations. First, address your skin color and type. There are foundations made specifically for oily, dry, sensitive or normal skin, so this is a good place to begin to narrow down your choice. Then, try to closely match your own skin color and tone.

For those lucky enough to have flawless skin, foundation can be eliminated altogether. Blush will be your next step. Cream blushes work best for normal to dry skin, while powder blush is best for those with oily skin. For color, light shades are generally good for pale skin, the deeper more intense colors are best for darker complexions. Experiment with lip color and eye shadow.
For a natural daytime look, stick with lighter lip-glosses and lip color shades and more neutral toned eye shadows. Get more adventurous for evening by picking a darker lip color, and pairing it with an intense eye shadow with a hint of glimmer. These are just a few of the basics regarding makeup choices. As your confidence grows, add on to the basics and enjoy your new look.
