A Makeup Virgin's 5-Minute MakeoverSee our intern morph from bare-faced and clueless to glam with just eight products |
Confessions of a Makeup Virgin I think I missed the day of middle school where everyone learned to apply makeup, because by the time I hit high school, it seemed like every girl had it down and I was totally lost. So, I pretty much stuck to liquid foundation and translucent powder my entire high school career and my first two years of college because I knew I'd end up looking like Mimi from "The Drew Carey Show" if I attempted to add color to any part of my face.
Ironically, I get this job at TotalBeauty.com, and I'm still clueless -- but surrounded by mountains of makeup and women who are like modern-day Rembrandts with it. So I screwed up the courage to ask for a makeup virgin makeover. Claire and I scavenged around the beauty closet for a handful of random products that make sense for me -- nothing too fancy or involved, no falsies or vampy eye shadow. I'm looking for the bare minimum in beauty products and some solid how-to advice for applying it. Here's the before pic -- click to see how my first makeup tutorial went.
