As far as makeup goes, a little foundation goes a long way, find a tonr that works for you (plenty of guides out there for picking the color) i use a full-coverage, it makes blemishes and facial hair shadows blend in. A concealer can also help if you have particularly high contrasting "blemishes". Searching you favorite video hosting platforms will yield many make-up guides and tutorials. Find a streamer/creator who has similar hair color/complexion as you and wing it. Worst case scenario you grab the makeup remover wipes and try again.
Thanks, I have a look then at foundations and concealers.
What is the difference between the two? Do I only use one or both together?
A foundation is for a base coat all over, then put concealer over blemishes, shadows, under the eyes, etc. I also use blush to put back color in the cheeks, chin, and around the nose, then dust it all over with a transparent powder :3
Couldn't have put it better.
Thanks, that is a great basis for me to start looking into it! Much appreciated.
