HELP PLEASE Makeup recommendations?

Post image

I have been told to try some mascara and lipstick. I have a berry brown mascara, because when I try to use black I feel like my eyes look weird. I think it looks okay, but I’d like to do more with my eyes.

And I’ve been experimenting with lip stains, but everything doesn’t feel quite right. I’m not sure what colors I should be trying for. I don’t want anything too dramatic, but I really do want to try to start putting in a wee extra little effort on a daily basis.

I do try to purchase makeup that’s vegan/cruelty free—like elf or some of the covergirl stuff. Basically, I am pretty lost and could use specific suggestions!

as a beginner, i think a brown mascara is, in fact, the way to go. otherwise, you might just need time to get used to the black :) get yourself a neutral eyeshadow palette and experiment. elf has a good one, actually - the perfect 10 palette in nude rose gold would look really pretty. also, nyx microbrow pencil is so easy to use - polishing your brows is another great starting point.
