Re: Make up advice?
I think foundation, blush, mascara and some sort of lip color (you could even do a tinted lipbalm if you don't want to do a full coverage lipstick) would be a good place to start, and make sure your eyebrows are groomed (nice eyebrows can make a huge difference in how you look!). If they're light and/or sparse, you can fill them in with a pencil or powder, or if they're dark and/or pretty thick, you can just use a clear gel to hold them in place. If you've never done anything with them, it might be a good idea to go to a salon or something and have them give you an initial shape, and then you can tweeze them yourself after that to maintain the shape. If not, there are plenty of Youtube videos on eyebrows.
I think the video tutorials can be really helpful if you keep it simple (like one topic/area of the face at a time). Obviously it can overwhelming if you watch a 20 minute long video that's for the entire face and you don't even know how to do the basics, but it shouldn't be too confusing if you keep it simple. For example, you can search for something like "beginner's foundation routine", or "how to apply blush". Also, there are plenty of "what not to do" videos that have some good tips on avoiding common mistakes.
Going to a makeup counter/store like other people have suggested might be a good idea, too. Once you get the hang of it and figure out what you personally like you might end up completely disagreeing with the people at the counters/stores, but if you're a total beginner it could be a good starting place.
