Something I find to be incredibly useful when practicing makeup is keeping a "look book". I'm constantly browsing wedding magazines and occasionally others like Glamour and Cosmopolitan. I cut out pictures of makeup, hair and nail looks that I like. Then I paste them in a notebook and refer to it when I'm practicing different techniques. Here are a few pictures of my look book.
Your look book can be as simple or sophisticated as you want. I used an unlined journal I've had for years because I love the cover but hate writing on unlined pages. It's finally found a good use and I can quickly refer to many different makeup ideas.
Cut out and paste whatever strikes your fancy. I like to pick crazy looks that I wouldn't wear on a day to day basis so I can get practice doing new, creative makeup techniques. If you don't want to pay for a makeup artist for photo shoots and want to develop your own skills, a look book can very helpful.
