my little thoughts

I'm really at a loss when I read or watch all those makeup advice articles or vids.
hey guys (I'm sorry - hey girls) - who do you think I am?
they tell me what to do and how to do this - to look exactly like they look. that's the first thing they're mistaken in. I don't want to look like them. I want to get experienced in drawing makeup on my own face which is quite different. the shape of the eyes and nose and lips and everything. you try to make your eyes look bigger, my dear specialist? I'm glad you managed to do this. but what should I do if any liner on my lower lid makes my big eyes even bigger to the extent it looks really overlined?
they use so much of concealers and puffs etc. I use them too. so why is that the result differs so much? unfortunately the skin is so different that I have no chance to reach the shimmering face of those experst just for the reason I can't. no matter how much time and money you spend on covering your face, it's not the face of those cuties who can be rather cute even without applying any concealers. and that's the second thing they're mistaken in. they think all the girls have the same skin as they have.
and the third thing is close to second, just replace the words like 'concealer' and 'puff' with 'eyeshadow' etc. I'm glad for them that their shadow looks like that of shadow and is easily shaded. I'm happy that their liner makes a real line. mine doesn't, as well as eyeshadow of mine are not that apt to collaborate with me. unfortunately I can try to make those accurate lines for 15 minutes or apply white liner 3 times, or I could curl my lashes as much as I want - even then my lashes will subside back in 5 minutes, and the white lines will be swept away leaving no trace of their presence, and the black lines will look like they're afraid of smth and therefore shivering with fear 'cause my lids are a little bit of another shape which wouldn't let me draw the line as close to the eyeball as they do.
they're telling me I should pick up yellow and apply it to the right corner and brown to the left and blue to the inner and then white again and liner after that... and when I proceed to the next vid I see everything is quite vice versa and the liner goes first so that... oh, how interesting. you discovered America for me, twice I should say - I mean the first case and the second. oh yeah, the more cases - the more variants of order of applying we know. yeah I know 'cause it does matter what you apply first but isn't it up to me to decide what's really more convenient to apply and when?
they tell me I should'n apply the liner if I want a fresh look. thanx Cap! I knew it when I was some 13 years old, I think 'cause it's hard for a girl to never try applying both shadows with liners and without, or liners with shadows and liners without shadows. we ARE girls and we DO know the variants of how our faces look with this and that, so you clever women needn't have told us this simple truth.
the same goes with colours. am I a fool to be unaware that autumn's colours are mostly brown and gold etc.? if not for you, honourable experts in makeup, I would have never guessed 'bout this fact and having decided to look autumn-ish I would certainly choose blue shadows and pink lipstick.
what's really essential - to know where and how I can get those wonderful liners and eyeshadows and creams and brushes and all the stuff so that it would stick to my face without being easily getting smeared. tell me the names, the brands, the qualities and shapes - and leave the rest to me 'cause I'm no stupid little girl to know nothing of how I should decorate my face
until that time I will go on 'makeuping' the way I did before - by trial and error 'cause that's the only way to understand what suits me and what doesn't
