This is my favorite subject! I love makeup. I am an admitted makeup addict. Okay, enough about me. LOL
Since you don't usually wear the stuff, I wouldn't go for the bold colors like red or fushia. No way, that's just too much. I would suggest shear or a hint of color for you. It would feel more natural and bring out your natural beauty. In addition, shear, pastel or hint of color is for the summer time too. Why not go to the drug store and try looking at nail polish that is shear coral or light pink tones? If you like to wear gold jewelry, go for the coral. If you like to wear silver, go for the light pink shades. Shear shimmery shades are in, but I didn't know if would feel comfortable in glittery shades. Those glittery shades don't show as much glitter as one may think. They just show a few glitters with a clear coat. Metals are summer too. So, if you can't pick a color, try silver or gold shimmer. But, keep in mind, shimmer nail polish tends to flake faster. A good nail polish job is a base coat, color, and top coat. If you don't have time, just put the color and a top to seal it.
Lipstick shouldn't burn or peel. That sounds like an allergy too me. Also, go for the hypoallergenic makeup. Many people have allergies to makeup. Makeup shouldn't itch either. Try almay. I would not stick red lipstick on someone that doesn't usually wear it. Nope. I would go for something more muted tones. You can always go for the lip pencil with lip gloss look. It's a summer thing too.
Mascara comes in waterproof and not. Waterproof is great, but it's a bit more work taking it off. If you cry a lot or swim, I would wear the water proof and get a eye makeup remover that is specifically for removing waterproof eye makeup. I wear the non waterproof Mascara 2000 by Maybelline with the curved brush in brown/black.
If makeup is a painful, something is going wrong. Oh, on the shoe issue. I wear high ones, but the heel goes straight across. I can't handle those sling back shoes. They are murder on my back. I don't believe being beautiful has to be painful. Oh, you don't have to buy the expensive lines of makeup either to get a beautiful look. Oh, I wish that I could go with you. I love to do this type of stuff. I love it!
