[Stereo Hearts]

Woah! That's alot of questions! Lemme see what I can do:

1) Try AcneFree for Moderate Skin, it works wonders!
2) I would get L'oreal, personally that's my favorite brand
3) I like black alot better, but if you want a more natural look white would work. If you want something in between try grey! I love it!
4) I'm not a million percent sure about that one, but I would have to say Maybelline Dream
5) I put on foundation with a brush and blend it with my hands, using a primer first. Then I put on a light pink blush.
6) I normally don't do the "No Makeup" look, but when I do, I either put on Faux eyelashes (If you don't have those put on a waterproof mascara, two coats) Then put two lines of grey mascara (Darker on top, lighter on bottom) and put on foundation and a natural colored lip gloss.
7) Theres a long list!! I like:
LIP GLOSS
- Express Sweet Fiz (For a natural tint)
-M.A.C. Dazzle Glass: Like Venus (For a sparkle look!)
PRIMER
-L'oreal Studio Secrets Anti-Dull Skin primer for Light Skin
FOUNDATION
-L'oreal True Match NATURALE Gentle Mineral Makeup with SPF 19 (After using Primer, of course!)
EYELINER
-L'oreal Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner (In Carbon Black) <-- That's my favorite!
-AVON Ultra Luxery Eye Liner (In Charcoal) <-- That's the Grey kind I use!
MASCARA
-AVON Super Shock Waterproof Mascara <-- My favorite also!
-Curl Up and Dye lash curling mascara by Hard Candy
-Lash Tinsel glitter mascara by Hard Candy
-1,000 Lashes fiberized lash weave mascara by Hard Candy
EYESHADOW
-Hard Candy Backstagepass
-Hard Candy Ab Fab
-L'oreal Studio Secrets Color Smokes Eye Shadow (Blackened Smokes)
-L'oreal HIP Studio Secrets Bright Eyeshadow Duo (Showy)
GLITTER LIQUID BASE EYESHADOW
-Hard Candy EYE DEF glitter eyeshadow (In Pink, Blue, and Silver)
BLUSH
-AVON PRISModern Eyeshadow (Bright Pink) <--It may be Eyeshadow but it works great as Blush!!
8) So my tips are:
~Always use primer
~Always blend in blush with foundation
~Use Lash Serum from L'oreal before bed, and in 2 weeks your lashes should be as long as fake ones!
~NEVER SLEEP IN MAKEUP, it will clog your pores!

Anyways I hope I can help! I spent about an hour writing this!

Get medicine either proactive, or from mary kay.
Cover girl
I personally would use just black
Maybelline is better but make sure you get your color
You can apply it with your hand or a makeup sponge, and you could blend it in with a cotton ball or a towel
Don't wear makeup, or just a little bit of cover up
Prob cvs
Don't wear your makeup too dark, or don't wear too much

1) you need to wash your face every night and day and moisturize after each wash. you could even try using a branded cleanser to get rid of spots.
2) i would go for the cover girl all day hydrating foundation, it make your dry bits of skin smooth.
3) yes, its less noticeable and cute, black looks more dark & dressier.
4) i use the matte mousse and it is great for hiding spots and works as a concealer as well.
5) i blend it in with makeup sponges or a foundation brush.
6) you need to use light makeup and blend it into your skin very well.
7) my favorite drugstore products would be my matte mousse foundation ivory shade. It is light and gives you the natural look.
8) moisturize before putting makeup on as it will help it spread better & give you smooth skin. Always take of your makeup before you go to bed. I also would recommend GOSH velvet touch foundation primer. You put this on after you put your moisturizer on then you apply your makeup. This helps to make your skin look smooth and keeps your makeup on all day.

8. use a primer before applying your foundation cuz it will last longer during the day. start out with neutral eyeshadow. always moisturize or your foundation will just look cakey. use powder to set your foundation.

1. get acne medication that suits your face.
2. honestly, i have no clue. i haven't tried any of them.

1. Make sure not to touch your face a lot, and if you ever get acne don't pick at it or pop your pimples. Get a good skin cleanser like Proactive or Neutrogena, and it should clear right up. If your acne is really bad, schedule an appointment with a dermatologist and they'll tell you how to get rid of it.
2.I haven't tried Loreal True Match, but I know Covergirl's foundations are really good. Their Natureluxe one is very natural looking, almost like a tinted moisturizer, so it's not cakey and perfect for beginners.
3. It's up to you, I use white. It looks more natural and makes your eyes appear bigger and brighter. Also put a little white liner on the inner corners of the eyes, it brightens the eyes up as well.
4. I haven't used matte mousse, but the Dream Smooth Mousse is AMAZING. So soft and creamy and nautral. I'd get it if I were you.
5. You can use a brush or a sponge, there's a sponge called the beauty blender that's great for liquid foundations. You just apply some of the porduct to the sponge, which has a special round shape to get in all the little grooves of your face and gives you an even application. It's really expensive though, so here's a link to one like it but cheaper. http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2210221&productId=xlsImpprod2200087&navAction=push&navCount=1&categoryId=cat80138%20cat970007%20cat1090001%20cat120062
6.It's all about keeping it simple, neutral shadows, good blending, and using a light hand when applying makeup. Intead of wearing black liner on the lid, use tightlining. It's where you take brown or black pencil liner and apply it to your upper waterline. It makes your lashes look fuller, but without having to actually look like you're wearing eyeliner. Here's a video of how to do it.

7. Here are my favorites:
-Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer (It's discontinued, but I can still get it on Amazon.com.)
-Loreal H.I.P. Jelly Balm in Plush (Also discontinued, but I can get this online too!)
-NYX Eyeshadows (I own the colors Vanilla Sky and Sahara, they look super natural but so cute.)
-Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara (Different mascaras work well for different people, I love this one cause the brush is so big and it gets every lash without clumps.)
-NYX Jumbo Shadow Pencil in Milk (I use this for my waterline and inner corners, and also as a shadow base.)
8. Um, I pretty much covered everything I could think of, lol. I'd get real eyeshadow brushes instead of the ones that come with eyeshadow pallettes, they provide more coverage and are way easier to use. Less is more, so just keep that in mind. And also, check out Eyes Lips Face.com. They sell AMAZING makeup for only a dollar, which is too cool. They sell stuff at Kmart and Target too, so go check their stuff out there if you can. Good luck.

1. Try neutrogena cream cleanser and spot treatment. they wprk together and cleared my skin up right away without irritation. The cleanser has chammomile in it which soothes the skin. 2. If you have acne, a liquid foundation probably isnt what you need. Try pressed powder like covergirl oil control compact... its natural looking and good coverage. 3.white waterline makes your eyes look bigger, try both and see what looks best. 4. Matte, it gives you a natural look with great coverage without looking cakey. 5. rub with fingers around jaw line, or use a spinge wedge or a brush. 6. use fleshy tones. nude/brown eye color. Not too much mascara and a pinky blush looks great. 7. Maybeline mascara, they are all great!!! 8. Start small, like just a bit of mascara and lip gloss until you get better at applying make up. Ask a mom, older sister or a trusted woman for help. Good luck!!!

1) Go see a dermotologist, don't pick at your skin, wash your face at least twice a day, drink more water, dont eat junk food, wear makeup that is noncomedogenic and oil free.
2) I have never tried either of those, so maybe you should look up reviews on youtube to see if their good for you. Although, I reccomend Almay TLC foundation- it's light weight and has great coverage.
3) Yes, white liner does. White liner makes your eyes look bigger and more awake while black tends to make your eyes look smaller. For a clean look swipe on a black or brown liquid liner to on your upper lash line. You can put white liner on the inner corners of your eyes to make your eyes look brighter. Dab a little bit of light brown eye shadow on your bottom lashes for a softer look, instead of harsh black. NEVER rim your entire eye with black eyeliner unless you are doing a smokey eye shadow look.
4)Again... Look on youtube
5) You can buy a bunch of sponges at the drugstore that are specifically for applying makeup. Rinse that sponge out with water so that it's moist and then use it to dab on the makeup.
6) ^ Use that tecnique ^ to get an airbrushed look. Use a green concealer to get an even skin tone. Set your foundation with a loose mineral powder that is translucent. Use a cream blush, because it's easy to blend. Use a light reflecting highlighter to highlight certian parts of your face and to contour..... But seriously, GO ON YOUTUBE. It's like the holy grail of makeup gurus.
7) Products I've mentioned above, anything by Physicians Formula, and L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Mascara- this gives your lashes a SUPER natural look.
8) A little goes a long way. Less is more. Don't be afraid to play around with your looks... and HAVE FUN!
