i have never worn makeup in my life (except for once. and i am 22). this probably sounds strange.

so my question is: if i wanted to change up my look, should i start learning about this stuff? people keep telling me that i look like i am 16.

i just hate spending time putting stuff on my face that might make my skin look like shit 30 years down the road. also, i am too lazy. and i hate the way people look when they put too much on --- it almost resembles a mask.

i might stop by a store and ask one of those makeup counter ladies to help me out, if it is really worth it.

what do you think?

You kind of sound like sarakida...

In which case I'm inclined to tell you to shut up.

However, if you want to try it out start at a counter (avoid mac unless you can handle shock well.) Do keep in mind however to get a consultation you should buy at least 50 dollars in makeup, as good manners. So you are going to end up with 50 dollars of stuff anyway. But if you go to chanel you're only going to get a mascara for that anyway.

maybe start basic and buy benetint which is a lip and cheek stain? you can also use it for eyeshadow.
if you don't like the idea of makeup tyr mineral makeup. it will even out your skin and not make you look like a tranny.

Take care of your skin underneath and in between so that won't be a problem
