Question: I've always been a tomboy but I'm...

Oh, and for concealer, CG Smoothers is good. For under eye stuff, if you have that problem, Maybelline has a yellow stick that works.

Clean makeup(for foundation) by CoverGirl is pretty good-it looks very natural and isn't too expensive. As far as mascara is concerned, Lash Stiletto is fantastic. If you live in a warner climate like me, you want whatever doesn't smudge too much/fast and that's it. For eyeshadow, try a light brown/taupe color since you're new to makeup if you use any at all. Cheekers blush by covergirl is reasonably priced, but stick to a very light pink-Natural Rose is a good shade. Both Maybelline and Covergirl have some good lipsticks/longwears/lip gloss, but like with the other things, stick to very light colors and figure out what looks good with your skin tone.
With clothes, stick with basics. Good fitting jeans, skirts, fitted T-shirts/tanks, and a comfy pair of ballet flats will get you far. Black is a tried and true basic, but other colors depend on your skin tone. Earth tones flatter most people, but bright colors can be tricky, especially highlighter shades.

Just Youtube [beginners] make up, I found this one channel for this girl who gave make up tips as well as dating and clothing tips to college girls, but she has not been on in at least three months. But as for make up starters, I would go with Coastal Scents they give you 88 colors for only 20 bucks! The sight does not really look that legit, but it is, I bought two things from them on Amazon. Also to start off with brushes, go with Target's brand eyes lips and face, you can get some pretty good brushes for only a dollar. As for dressing just go buy a Teen Vogue, and check out some of their styles, as well as Wet Seal and other female stores and somewhere on there it should say shop trends where they show you styles there. Don't copy EXACTLY, but just check out their styles.

I use to be and still am a Tom Boy in a way. I like to wear make up, but you will never find me in a pair of heels, dress, or make up EVERYDAY, mainly when I have an outfit on that I like, going somewhere "fancy". Change yourself, but don't loose yourself.

Heh, I was in your shoes a few years ago :D You don't have to make a HUGE jump into a total girly girl, cause if you're not used to it it will feel awkward.
With foundations, you're really gonna have to do homework. Check out your skin type and maybe experiment with some store brands to see how your skin reacts. I'm on topical acne medication, so I had to splurge on an oil free foundation at Sephora, but I hardly ever wear it because it still clogs up my skin. That, and I realized I never have time for makeup.
Almay is a really cheap makeup brand and they have a great waterproof volumizing mascara that doesn't clump. You're gonna want a natural look for your makeup, so you probably want to steer clear of black liner if you have medium to light hair/eyebrows. Go with brown. Experiment with it to figure out a look you like. A lot of people say not to line the bottom lashes because you can easily look like you have raccoon eyes, but if you use a light brown it's not that dramatic.
I really like Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner, I only have to use it every other week to make my hair really soft. Try not to straighten your hair or blow dry your hair all that much, since it dries it out. But if you do, protect it with a deep conditioner. Also, I really like Aussie's Totally Twisted mousse if you want to try for some wave. It smells UH-MAZING, and you just rub it in after a shower and let your hair air dry. Redken works really well too, but it's salon stuff, and it's pretty expensive. I got lucky and got Redken 007 Ringlet on sale after Christmas :/
Go to your local drugstore and look around for cleansing masks. They're so much fun and make your skin feel great :D Also, exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to keep your skin feeling soft. Leaving dead skin on your face can lead to acne. I like St. Ive's Apricot Scrub. But if you have dry skin on your face, don't use a lotion you use for your body. I use Cetaphil, mainly because my skin is so sensitive. It's light and doesn't feel greasy. You're going to have to gauge what products do what to your face. Even though I have acne medication, I'm breaking out even more because a new cleanser I'm using is drying out my skin causing it to over produce oil. I feel so womanly if I put lotion on all over my body after a shower, so you can try that to :D Sometimes it's just the little things you do at home to make you feel the most girly! I'd recommend splurging on a good bra at Victoria's Secret. I got the Body Bra because I needed a strapless bra for prom, and holy crap, I love that thing to death. It was $50, but so worth it. If you feel feminine on the inside, you're going to exude it on the outside too.

ok :) first of all : welcome to the club hunn ;D i know a few skin and hair care goodies :)
1.- mix 2 tea spoons of olive oil with 1 tea spoon of sugar rub gently in circular motion on your face and neck,, rinse off with water... it exfoliates your skin, removing dead skin cells and will leave your skin incredibly soft :)
2.- if you have acne scars, use lemon juice on them ( cut lemon in half and rub over area) rinse off after 10 minutes :) ( PS: might take a while before you see results)
3.- for your hair,, to make it shiny and silk soft,, you kow those bowls you eat soup out of?? poor some warm water ( not hot) into it,, and add a teaspoon of honey, and if you´re blond, maybe a few drops of lemon juice ;) mix it, you´ll see the water will have a light cold colour, after shampooing with your normal shampoo ( also i recommend you wash your hair with warm water instead of hot, hot can damage your hair) :) rinse out your shampoo, and after that poor the honey-water over your hair, wait for a minute or 2, and rinse out only a little,, as to not make your hair sticky nor to rinse it all out :) just a little

Face moisturizer and eye liner are a girl's best friend! to add a little sex appeal eye liner is all you really need. Maybe some bronzing powder once in a while. Pedi and Mani's are not only pretty but so relaxing. And one good accessory a day. Physicians formula is a good brand of makeup. Have your face framed of add some bangs you can brush to the side.

Just do what makes you happy, and enjoy your womanhood!

I'd say, don't go overboard. Try not to use foundation at first, unless you think you really need it. And if you do, just dust a light layer of founder on your features. A little blush is also nice, but make sure it's only a little. In the summer, I'd suggest using a bronzer, just over the bridge of your nose, a little on your forehead, and on the cheekbones. A little around your jawline also makes is more defined if you don't already have a define jawline.

As for mascara, I'd say use something brown if you're light-haired (blonde or red-headed), and a dark brown or black if you have dark hair. Dark blue also works nice for something more festive, and really makes brown and blue eyes pop. A little eyeliner along the lower waterline (and I mean a little) can give you a touch of a smoky look without going overboard.

If you want a more made-up look for dates or parties or something, try looking at some tutorials on youtube. Just keep in mind that, if you don't have the fairly expensive make-up they usually use, you shouldn't try something too complicated, as it ends up just looking like a mess.

Remember, less is more.

As for skin care, if you have dry skin, exfoliate once a week to get rid of dead skin, and use a moisturizing rinse every few days. You can get a face moisturizer, too, which you usually put on before bed. If you have oily skin, clean you face with a non-exfoliating (or gently exfoliating) cleanser every few days. Remember to start with warm water to open pores, and end with cold water to close them.

Hair is a really broad term, but my advice is this: don't shampoo and condition your hair every day. Shampooing every day takes all the essential oils out of your scalp, and causes your hair to want to produce more. I'd say every three days, go ahead and shampoo. If your hair is oily, don't bother conditioning a whole lot.

use a natural powder type makeup - liquids tend to make you look EXTREMELY made up - and if you're a tomboy transitioning to girly (like I was) the natural powder type make up (find it in walmart) it smoothes your complexion and gives you a... nice natural look without looking waxy and fake.
use a lip tinting chapstick and a basic waterproof mascara. I wouldn't use any eyeshadows yet. I let my girl friend do my make up for the first time and they used eyeshadow, lipstick, eyeliner, blush...etc (to me) I looked awful - it was just because it was so DIFFERENT than I was used to. so my mom suggest a start with just a few basics and work up as I wanted to.

so I use a light powder, then a slightly darker powder on my cheeks, forehead, nose and chin - just to give a little bit of a sun-kissed look, a clear chapstick just to give my lips some shine and a mascara. I dont faking anything really just accenting what I already have. Now that i'm used to make up - I'll wear eyeliner for date night with my sweetie, and I just got some slightly shimmery purple eye shadow (they say it'll bring out my green eyes) *shrugs* guess we'll find out. =)

also - try going to the mall - you don't have to buy all that pricey makeup - but have one of the makeup artists put some makeup on you - they'll show you how to apply certain things, they'll be able to tell you what colors would fit you...etc
