Hello everybody! I've been lurking here for a while, and I thought I'd finally join and ask for advice from you lovely people
I'm 24, pale/freckled with light green eyes and blond hair. I've always been low-maintenance makeup-wise, using Lancome products mostly -- my daily routine would include mascara, lip gloss, a little eyeshadow in only one color, and Lancome's dual-action powder (a bit thick so it's like a foundation at the same time).
But... I have a good friend who always has amazing makeup, and I finally got to play around with her MAC collection -- and I am JEALOUS! I want to learn how to do the "cool eye makeup" looks! She taught me some things, but my own makeup collection is relatively small, and I basically have no experience with blending or brushes.
I've meandered through lots of your tutorials and reviews, but I still can't find a post that is for the TRUE NEWBIE. First-timer, I mean. I own no MAC at all.
(Yet.)
I am interested in a short list of starter products -- maybe a lid primer, a few eyeshadows, a brush or two. Do any of you have a short list of suggestions, must-haves, that I could pick up at the Macy's nearby? I'd like to spend under $100 at first
Anyway, thank you for ALL your amazing posts and picture tutorials -- even with my limited lancome eyeshadows and blushes, I've been able to attempt some of them -- and they look great!
Hope to see more of you all
Thanks again for any suggestions
