1. Buy copies of SEVENTEEN magazine. That is how young girl's learn. Trial and error and practice, practice, practice. It takes years to get really good at it, like any learned skill.
2. BOBBI BROWN BEAUTY - Bobbi Brown & Annemarie Iverson
BOBBI BROWN BEAUTY EVOLUTION - Bobbi Brown with Sally Wadyka
3. COLOR ME BEAUTIFUL - Carole Jackson
4. * HOW DO I LOOK - Gale Hayman
5. * COMPLETE BEAUTY BOOK - Helen Foster
6. Understand that your entire presentation starts with your skin color and tone, your eye color, your hair color....all modified by your age. These will determine your color palates for both makeup and clothing. The * marked books have color charts that I find very helpful.
7. After you figure out your wardrobe colors (Season), get paint chips from a hardware store to match. These will give you carry-along aids to buy clothing that suits you and will go with your other clothing items.
8. You can prevent a lot of wasted money by reading DON'T GO TO THE COSMETIC COUNTER WITHOUT ME (7th ed. ???}.- Paula Begoun
http://www.flawlessbeauty[...]me.html Many cosmetic products are grossly overpriced. You can do very well in a .99 cents store. Some products contents are defined by law and it is very likely that Antarctic Cold Bees nectar in your skin cream will not have any effect...unless you are allergic to bees.
My personal makeup philosophy is understated. I want to look better without it being obvious that it is the makeup that is doing it.
Have fun. Have lots of fun.
