Tone
It’s worth starting a detailed description with the foundation of makeup - tone. There are different types of foundation that girls with both oily and dry skin can use. If you have dry epidermis, then buy a product with a moisturizing effect. But for owners of oily skin, makeup artists strongly recommend matting creams. With them, you can forget about the need to constantly powder the skin.
If the foundation does not fit well on the skin, constantly rolls down or does not stay on the face, then you will need a good base to match the tone. It is worth choosing according to the same principle. So, if you have overdried or naturally dry skin, then choose a simple remedy with a slight moisturizing effect. For girls with oily skin, a denser foundation is suitable, which gives a slight matte effect.

It is quite possible to limit yourself to hygienic lipstick or light gloss without large sequins.
Evening
The technique of applying evening makeup is much simpler. You can use more visible colors, glitters and highlighters. In the evening look, almost all accents are allowed.
In eye makeup, you can choose almost all the options for colors and color combinations. Transitions of different shades look spectacular. For example, darker to light or cold to warm.

Smoky eye makeup is very popular right now. This make-up is suitable for almost everyone without exception. To perform makeup in this technique, you will need a classic eyeliner, beautiful shadows and kajal.This is a dense, bold pencil that blends very easily and leaves no clear marks.

With the right color combinations, you can feel like a hippie or a prom queen.
Another important tip is to use the products you have. You don't have to have a full makeup bag of hyped products. Some tools can be used for multiple purposes at once. So, for example, with lipstick or lip gloss, you can give your appearance a natural glow, using them as a blush. Replace the highlighter can be the lightest shade of shadows in the palette. It can be shining mother-of-pearl shadows that are right for you.
You don't have to be addicted to makeup. If you are afraid to go out without makeup, change something about yourself, and not about what cosmetic products you use. Makeup for you should be a means of self-expression, and not a way to change yourself.
Choose the types of makeup and color combinations that are right for you, and do not opt for trends that frankly do not suit you.
