I never really tried makeup. Where do I find a good product in the UK?

It should be easy to apply without looking artificial, without animal testing as well. I'm white and rather pale at the moment. It would be nice to find something that makes me look like after a short sun tan, makes me look fresher and more colourful. lol.


As I don't get enough sleep and my skin is rather thin, the area under my eyes is often a bit shadowy and sometimes slightly swollen.


I don't want people to laugh at me though if don't apply it properly.


So I actually would need advice on which products are best and how to use them.


Oh, my eyes are brown and my hair is long, straight and dark blonde.


Any advice would be appreciated. :-)I never really tried makeup. Where do I find a good product in the UK?
dream matte mousse foundation, its cheap and good quality, (use a cosmetic sponge for application, not your finger)


blend a bit on your collarbone before you buy any to find the perfect shade (your hands are darker than your face)


Tinted moisturiser can give you a light tan if you want, you seem to realise orange isn't a good face colour :)


If you want better quality but more expensive, use MAC and chanel


Put concealer on under your eyes over the foundation, blend well and use a brush.


Bronzing pearls or bronzer compacts can give a summery glow IF used correctly. Dont be tempted to layer it on, just a light dusting is enough and use the largest brush possible to disperse it evenly and not cake your skin up. less is more in this case


Keep your skin clean and well moisturised as make up dries it out and can clog your pores. also, a make-up artsit tip which can work depending on your foundation is to add a little bit of good quality moisturiser into your liquid foundation and mix well on your hand/pallet with a brush before applying (either with a foundation brush or cosmetics sponge - brush gives even, thicker application and sponge thinner and sheer)


finally, as you are a blonde use black masscarra and eyelash curlers to enhance fair lashes. a dark nude pink will suit your colouring for your lips and a peachy pink blush looks natural, fresh and young.

my advice is to go a department store and have a demo. For example, the larger boots stores have demo counters. There the beautician will be able to advise you in person taking into account your skin type, colouring etc. You dont have to buy anything but naturally the beautician will be hoping to make a sale, so have a figure in your mind or you'll come away with a whole make up collection.


Try to combine it with a night out and you'll get a free make over at the same time. on your way out have a squirt of expensive Perfume and youre set for the night!
Well i would recommend Body Shop has they do amazing makeup, (their own brand) and their totally against animal testing, but MAC is a fantastic brand, though im not to sure if their against animal testing.
the brand innoxa is not tested on animals. i have very pale skin as well and their foundation colour called ';buttermilk'; is perfect for me. sry i'm not in the UK so i don't know whether you can get it there. when you are trying makeup, don't go too dark a colour at least to start with, try to keep it as close to your natural colour as possible and make sure you blend properly. for blond hair, go with a brown eyeliner and mascara because black can look way too harsh with light hair, especially if you have light eyebrows and lashes.
Benefit is really good make-up and so is Dior most make-up at Debenhams is really good and their are people at counters who can show you how to apply make up and give you tips.
