Hi while I’m not a pro at all I just wanted to offer some advice:

1) If you tend to break out after washing your face pay close attention to the ingredients. Perhaps the products you’re using is too harsh. Also how are you washing your face, sometimes using tools that are too rough on the skin can cause damage to the skin.

2) I would only recommend lotions that are formulated for the face based on your skin type. Most times lotions tend to be packed with a lot of fragrance which can lead to break outs. Instead of lotion try to find moisturizer for the face based on your skin type.

3) Try to find a foundation that is either light coverage or medium build instead of full coverage. Also try tinted moisturizers if you’re looking for light coverage. Also look into how you’re applying. Always try to use a pump and slowly build. Start small and build up. Use a beauty blender because it helps to sheer out full coverage foundation since sponges absorb products. 

4) I haven’t tried it yet, but I heard maybelline fit powder is good starter for face powder, if you’re looking for high brand try Sephora’s micro powder or Charlotte tilbury. You have pressed or loose face powder, but it’s meant to bring the entire face together and set the face.

Use a compact sponge with a pressed face powder and a loose face brush for loose powders. Make sure the undertone and shade matches the undertone and shade in your foundation.

5) I have pretty much the same issue my left eyebrow sits lower than my right. I would recommend using a pencil like Anastasia’s brow wiz or something similar over a pomade.

Major tip use very light strokes in the front to prevent the box shaped appearance in the front of the eyebrows. Also when outlining your eyebrows start in the middle of the brow use your iris to find the middle.

Again use light strokes and brush out your hair to evenly distribute the product. With eyebrows light feathery strokes, especially in the front.

6) Answered in #5 response. Also use Tik Tok and YouTube. That’s how I learned a lot of what is in this post.

7) Again Tik Tok, YouTube and Google will help you ALOT in this. Hooded means when your eyes are open you don’t see much lid space, some people like myself have slightly hooded eyes whereas some have very hooded eyes. Again use the resources I listed to help you.

😎 I’m not quite sure what you mean, but if you have full lips like I do try not to over line it meaning applying lip liner above the natural lines of your lips. Your lips will look even larger. I can tell you that based on personal experience. Just follow the natural shape of your lips when outlining. Also TIK TOK is your best friend 🙂

 
9) It depends on the look you’re going for. If it’s a slightly pink try and slightly darker pink. I would go into a makeup store or again, use tik tok or YouTube to help with tips on that. 

10) I honestly couldn’t answer this question since I’m African American, but again use tik tok and Pinterest too to help with ideas. 

Hope I was able to help a bit 🙂

Good luck and go Slayyyyy
