My hubby wants me to start applying make up. Ladies what do I need to have a good make up? Never done one. How do I go about it? As in what comes after wat?

Google is your friend

safe06: blessedgaby, before applying makeup,you should know makeup should enhance your looks and not otherwise,cause if applied wrongly,you would look so terrible.
Get your foundation,powder*,eyebrow pencil*,eye-liner/khajal,eye-shadow*,lip stick,lip gloss*, blush.
Foundation application depends if u have dark-spots that are obvious and needs covering,though it's major purpose is to set the powder to stay long. Instead of using concealer for the spots only,you could use maximum coverage foundation,which will cover the flaws and set the powder.
The powder is necessary to brighten your face,you could use ponds oil control powder if you ain't a fan of brown powders,ponds have shades that are in between white and brown colours.but if you must use brown powders, go to a good cosmetic store so they can test the shades on you and get your perfect match.
Eyebrow pencil is next,you will need it if you have already carved/waxed your brows,if you haven't, go to a professional makeup artist to help you,make sure they don't scrape out ur brows oo,tell them to just make it neat,so that you could stay without eye-pencil. If you can't get the popular brands,you can get Davis 018,its cheap and good..
Eye-liner,is for your under eye,get a good khajal,so that ur face won't get messed up when you sweat.
Mascara is also needed to thicken and elongate your eye lash.
Eye-shadows are of different shade, you can choose a palette that has different colors ,so you apply lightly the color of your choice or the color that suits your outfit.
Lipstick is not a must, as there are lipglosses that comes in different colours too,u could get the colors you want and apply lightly too.
Note: red and black eyebrow pencil is a NO NO. Use brown.
Your lip liner must match with your lip stick. If your eyeshadow must be loud, your lipstick should be close to natural.
I hope I helped a little.
