AH Zoie replied. Though I'm just a teenager, i've been using makeup for a while now. I cover my dark circles under my eyes and foundation covers those well. I think foundation would cover blackheads well too. But another option instead of covering them is using pore strips to remove the blackheads.
A good trick for eyelids is to use light colored eyeshadow to make them look bigger or to wear mascara.
A good tip for lips to look bigger is to use lipliner that's a little darker than your color (but apply a very soft line of it) and apply lipstick to the rest of your lips.
Good ways to remove makeup are mixing baking soda with warm water and applying it to your face. Then wash it off. That works great for me!
Need any other tips? I've got sooo many i'd love to tell people!
Hope this helps!

Manjula replied. Hi Priyanka,

I will try to answer all ur ques. one by one..

Rather than foundation, trying using a face souffle or something.. and if u want to use foundation, mix it with water / rose water / toner etc. so that it spreads and gets absorbed by ur your skin easily. It does help in concealing ur black - heads (on the other note, why dont u get ur face cleaning done and they will remove the black heads).

Regarding eyes, eye-shadow would not make ur eyes look small. During day, apply the ES only to your eyelids.. During eve parties etc, u may dramatize ur eyes by applying color to your eye-brow bone too. just make sure that you apply thin line of eyeliner and ur eyes would not look too small.

Before going to bed, use a good face cleanser (either toner / plain water / make-up remover / face wash) and wash off ur make-up.

hmm. lipstick.. try using nude shades for sometime, till the time u get used to of seeing urself all decked up n all.. may be try sheer shimmer with light color lip pencil. outline your lips with pencil..

hope now u would have a better clue..
