Shop at places that let you return used makeup, sometimes for a full refund, sometimes for store credit. Be sure to check the return policy before shopping. CVS, Target, Ulta and I think Sephora all do this.
Find shades of cheaper/drugstore brands that work for you, then use shade comparisons/dupes to find shades of higher quality products, if you want.
Find people who have similar coloring to you, and do looks you like and copy them. You might need to look for other sources if you have any “special concerns” for instance, I have very hooded eyes and the girls I follow with my same coloring do not, so I can’t follow how they do their eyes, even if I can use the same products and colors. I like Allie Glines, Briana Fox, Andrea Ali, Lisa J, for makeup. Amanda John (strawberry chic) and Lace and Lashes are more fashion oriented but have some makeup too, all on youtube.
Skincare and general health are generally considered more important than makeup, and having a good base will make you need less makeup and will make it easier to look good.
It really takes practice and checking how you look in different lights. Lighting is the devil lol. Don’t try to start out doing dramatic stuff, just get comfortable doing a standard “natural” face and build from there.
Buy good tools and learn to take care of them. Real Techniques are supposed to be good affordable brushes.
Men can be really oblivious about makeup and usually think women with basic minimal makeup are just naturally beautiful. Lots of guys say they don’t like heavy makeup, but that really is subjective. Some guys to really like heavy obvious makeup, but definitely not all. Also consider that heavier makeup looks best from a distance and not close up lol.

I don’t have them now, but I really enjoyed having eyelash extensions, it just makes you look better even with no other make on. They are pretty expensive though lol

Buy a bit at a time and try it on. You really don't need that much skill.

Basics are a foundation and a foundation brush, you can get tone-matched at sephora and then keep ordering that one. Their HD foundation is my go to.

Crease brush for eyeshadow (putting a darker color in your crease adds depth) as well as a regular brush.

Under eye concealer does wonders. Mt favorite is nars radiant creamy concealer it's expensive but it goes a long way and really brightens up your eyes.

Once you learn how to apply those you can build up on it.

Hi hi!!

You should want to improve yourself for you!! Right now focus on filling your cup up, and that confidence will attract someone!!

In regards to makeup, wear makeup that is most flattering to you. Don’t worry about what anyone thinks but you, it’s your face!

I would say since you just started with makeup, I would try a tinted moisturizer, lip gloss and eyebrow gel. Highlight the aspects of your face you love!
