Make up?

I love make up but I guess u suck at it I'm 26 and last year was my first time using foundation. I never used consealer Idk even what to do with that and then there's contoring I think it cool but it looks so complicated and I don't see why you need it for any thing other than a photo shoot or something... I was so proud of my self when I learned how to put in foundation I guess you can say I try to keep it simple and as natural as possible. I watch a lot of makeup chanel on you tube and I realized that I'm stuck in like the 90's early 2000 on how I do my make up... but what's the need to contour your face all the time why have to look like someone your not what happened to natural beauty? Am I alone with this ?
