Who taught you to put on makeup?

I have never before worn makeup, I just wasn't interested in it. I'm lazy enough, I don't need something else to add to my morning routine lol. The only thing that kind of interested me was eyeliner and mascara, but since I wore glasses, there was no point in putting on eye makeup. Now I have contacts, and I'm thinking about taking the plunge. What I'm wondering, was who taught you to put on makeup?

Also, I have no idea about what brands or colors or shades to buy, can anyone please recommend good brands and maybe a website that shows me how to put on makeup? Has anyone ever gone to Sephora and had one of the consultants help you pick out makeup? I know that they're probably a good bet because they're experts but I'm scared that they'll pick out really expensive products and I'll kinda feel forced to buy them. Thanks so much everyone for answering and voting! ^___^

I GREW UP ON "SEVENTEEN" MAGAZINE, STUDIED THE PICTURES, MAKE UP COLORS, READ THE ARTICLES ON HOW-TO DO THIS & THAT, THEN WENT TO WOOLWORTH'S! (THAT WOULD BE A KMART TODAY)
I BOUGHT THE DRUGSTORE STUFF LIKE MAYBELLINE & PRACTICED ALOT. I HONESTLY HAVE TO SAY THAT I NEVER WENT OVERBOARD, BUT ALWAYS CONCENTRATED ON MY EYES. IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, AWESOMENESS, BUT I THINK THAT IF THE DESIRE IS THERE, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL YOU REALLY NEED. BUT, EVERYBODY'S DIFFERENT. IT WILL HAPPEN. LUCK!

When I was 12, my older sister got me a few Cover Girl makeup items and I was so excited. But, I really didn't know how to wear them. Then, for my 13th birthday my aunt (who passed in 2002) took me to the Kaufmann's -which no longer exists-in downtown Pittsburgh and bought me a set of Lancome makeup, which the artist showed me how to put on. That is one of my happiest memories.

My mom got me started with the basics, and then I just started experimenting with colors and all that. Love makeup! It's so much fun to play with!
