Begin at the beginning...

Hello! My Name is Tia. I am 37 years old. I am a Single Mom.  And I am new to the make up game and/ trends. Follow me on this adventure to learn how to apply make up, what is good or bad about make up brands, and  what I have been missing all my life!

I have always been to busy or unconcerned about my appearance to worry about make up. This year started out no different. But then I was laid off, finding a new job was not easy. After a few failed interviews, I decided to do a self evaluation.You might wonder why I would do a self evaluation; I was a new mom, I was tired, dressed in comfy clothes all the time cause I had put a few pounds at my old job from stress eating(but that Journey is a whole other blog!)

Then I looked at my face I noticed I  had more "Freckles", Laugh lines, Crows feet etc. How could I change that? I started looking in to contouring, and found good make up is hellishly expensive, and the Clinique/Lancome counter at a department store is frankly intimidating. So where do you go?

Helloooo Overstock.com & nomorerack.com, search cosmetics or make up and you can find a boatload of products!

My first purchase was the Shany Conceal and Camoflage Palette.
 
But where to start? This tutorial at make up Geek got me on the path.
