My big thing was not blending my foundation but thankfully my mother is the type of person who would not let her daughter walk out of the house with a solid line ending at the bottom of her jaw. I was never really into wearing makeup until bout 3 years ago and I was lucky enough to search youtube before attempting to do anything! lol ah such a lack of adventure in me.

Horribly applied black eyeliner...
In junior high I would wear brown, black, or silver lipstick.
Yeah, I dunno what the hell I was thinking. LOL!!
I honestly didn't really get into using makeup "correctly" until I was about 22 or 23... I'm 26 now. That's when I started using eyeshadows and foundation and blush, etc.

Mmm, Neutral Hilight, and a light brown neutral taupy shadow on the lid, brown liner (waterline) and dark brown mascara, with a raisin coloured lip and body shop foundation (all in one face base ) and blush (can't remember the color). I was lucky, in that I saved up all through grade 9 working part time and before I went away to school I got my dad to take me to the body shop and they put together a pretty nice look for me, natural looking, yet polished. Quite "fancy" for my life experience. I did that because my mom wasn't into makeup at all and I wanted to make a good impression at my new school so I did that, got a haircut etc. We did have strict dress code too so it was just allinone facebase, chapstick curled lashes during the day "no makeup" excluding concealer and foundation for uniform.

haha I wore the revlon stuff in wrong colour too in my late teens. I wore a shade that i think was made for someone with Hale Berry's complexion, lol! I wanted to look darker and more exotic I guess. I just looked weird instead :/

I didn't wear makeup as a teen so I was all natural.

Whoa... why does glow in the dark lipstick seem a bit unsafe?
Leave it to wet n wild to have a product like that!

i am seriously cringing thinking about the way i used to wear my makeup! lol. in 8th grade i had horribly thin eyebrows (i thought it actually looked good) and i wore a raspberry colored lip gloss from bath and body works.
my freshman year of high school i owned two lipsticks - one was blood red and the other was black. i had one eyeshadow and it was silver, because i thought a silver, "smokey" eye looked good with my lipsticks. then there was black liquid eyeliner... oh boy. i was unfortunately gothy.
when i was 16, i bought my first MAC items: atlas, a mossy green eyeshadow, glare, a soft yellow-gold eyeshadow, and spanish fly, a dark brown with green iridescence lipstick. it looked a little better, but these days you would not catch me wearing a lip color that dark!

I actually did pretty well, I think. I used to emulate magazines. I don't think I wore blush enough and sometimes I wore foundation that was either too light or just photographed poorly (I don't remember ever looking unnaturally ghostly but in some pics, I'm Casper). I think it might be the latter, since I'm really pale and wear the lightest shade of everything.
At first I wore only peaches, browns, a natural blush, and lip gloss, with brown mascara. My Mom wasn't keen on me wearing makeup at 13. I did occasionally snag a blue mascara, but fortunately, that actually looks okay with my coloring.
I used to pore over fashion magazines and had a couple that had some "looks" in them, and saved them to refer to. One was a bright lipstick/neutral eye look (I used Revlon's Blackberry, which I still buy to this day) with black liner on top. Another was a Bardot look, and I used to do a Bumpit looking thing with my hair (15 years pre-Bumpit, so it was teasing). My day look was pretty low-key, with Body Shop Strawberry lip gloss, some foundation, powder, and mascara.
My hair was often pretty horrifying, though.
Edit: Once I dyed my hair green with Kool Aid, and wore black eye makeup and black lipstick. I still like the way that looked. I was from a small town, though, where everyone looked the same, so I think there are probably still people having nightmares about me.

i started to wear makeup in 8th grade. before that it was just lipsmackers and gloss.it seems like every year it was something different so i cant sum it up in one look, sorry if im getting too much into it
8thgrade/age 14:
covergirl champagne e/s(i think thats what its called, it was a very popular color, almost every girl had it), black mascara, and any pink or clear lipgloss i had
15-17:
any type of concealer, some type of drugstore foundation (dont remember), black eyeliner (top lid, waterline), black mascara, soft pink lipgloss, probably the same covergirl eyeshadow, or something else, (i was getting more into it)
17-18:
pretty much EVERYday: maybelline dream matte mousse foundation, concealer, black mascara, black eyeliner, and an eyeshadow from Almay that they d/c, it was actually pretty, almost like the color of clay, (the dark gray-ish, purpley toned color), and sometimes i would throw in some bright colors, but just as a liner, alone. when i started cosmo school i got into it more.
didnt start actually wearing blush until a couple years ago. lol, didnt really know exactly how it would help me (b/c i have naturally pinkish-reddish areas anyways, i thought "why would i cover them up, then reverse what i just did with blush?)
until i actually did it the right way i was like "WOA! i look healthy now!"

yea, wetnwild is nuts. they still make that color lipstick and release it around halloween.
i used to have a lipstick that wetnwild made that was nuts too, it was a bright sky blue color in the tube (scary looking), but it was "MOOD CHANGING"......(ya, ok) and when you put it on it turned bright fushia pink! i think it was the summer before i started 7th grade. i was going to a summer day camp and a couple of the girls i was friends with had it and wore it all the time, nothing else. so you know, i HAD to have it too.
but now that i think of how scary it was back then, i probably would wear it now, it was almost like snow orchid, without the pretty sheen though.
but yea, glow in the dark lipstick?. maybe for an e-head at a rave.....lol. (if they exsist anymore)

most of my looks consisted of just bronze and brown and no highlight and a really cheap and bad mascara not to mention not caring about my eyebrows lol. i was always stuck in the bubble of WOC cannot wear color and i believed that for sooo long i think up until i was about 21 years old i wore a pink eyeshadow and i realized it looked awesome! so now i'm not ashamed or scared of color! i invite it lol.
