You can let them give you tips and a free make-up session. Then, you can use this information when you do your own make-up. This is how I finally learned how to put on mascara. And guess what? It didn’t cost me a dime.

It is also good to use gentle scrubs and purifying masks every now and then to keep your pores free. Do not forget to use sunscreen, you need to protect your skin by all means at all times.

Brighten up that young skin.

For girls who need to brighten up their skin, firstly you need follow a good skin care routine. Use a deep cleanser to remove all the oils and traces of makeup every night. Use a gentle scrub once in a while to get rid of dull skin. I know you would be crazy about foundations, but teens don’t actually need to use foundation. Please leave that to the grown ups. If you are having spots or marks, use a concealer to hide the problem areas. Use tinted bronze shades that can add to the natural glow of your skin. Apply this on the cheeks, forehead, chin and the nose. This would help you achieve a sun kissed look. Use some loose powder to even out the uneven texture of the skin.

Go in for eye makeup only for parties at night. You can begin with a light eye shadow to cover the eyelid. Then take a slightly darker eye shadow and cover the area towards the top of the eyelid. Choose shades that suit your skin tone or you can go in for shades that match your outfit. Be careful of zany shades such as blue as it may tend to make you look pale. Apply a black/brown liner to the eyelid and apply some kohl under your eyes to give them definition. This would help you bring attention to your eyes. Finish with a coat of mascara to your eyelashes. This would help in making your eyes appear wider.

CREATING YOUR COMPLEXION

If you have some blotchy redness to your skin, you might benefit from the use of foundation and pressed powder. If your skin tone is even, you do not need to wear foundation. Apply foundation a few minutes after you have put on your moisturizer, using a make-up sponge or your clean fingertips. After you apply foundation, apply a pressed powder. To give yourself a little color, get some blush. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks (the part that sticks out when you smile), and lightly dust your other features.
