We all love to put on makeup. It makes us feel secure, like with makeup, people will see us as better people. but you need to know what works best for you. If you have a light skin, you shouldn't go for a darker tone just to make yourself stand out. You will stand out alright, as an umpa-lumpa! Well lets get onto our tips, here are 5 tips about teens makeup.
1: SLOW DOWN ON THE FOUNDATION
Don't be a victim of "cake face," that matte look that screams to the world, "I wear lots of makeup." heavy foundations are not meant to cover the entire face, they should be used judiciously -- to cover up only the uneven spots like the cheeks, around the nose and maybe the chin. Once the foundation is in place, you can then dot concealer on any ruddy or pimply spots the foundation doesn't cover.
Here's a secret: gorgeous skin is dewy and natural and heavy foundations leave look looking anything but. A better bet than foundation is tinted moisturizers.
2: PAT THE CONCEALER, NEVER RUB IN
Slather concealer over your ruddy spots, tapping it in, it seems like such a waste of time, but the truth is tapping in it leaves your face looking much more flawless.
Here's how to properly do it: put a bit of concealer on the pad of a finger and pat it in. Never rub. Got acne? Gently tap the concealer over the blemishes and then set it with powder.
3:LIPS OR EYES, NEVER BOTH
Ever notice how girls with heavy eye makeup and heavy lips can look overdone and a bit clownish? When it comes to making up your face, it's best to decide to play up either your eyes or your mouth, but never both. If you wear a smokey eye, go for nude lips with just a bit of gloss. Prefer the drama of dark lipstick? Keep face light (stay away from heavy blush) and wear only mascara on your eyes and a light eyeshadow. Don't heavily line your eyes. Play up both and you'll look like a clown. And never, ever line lips in a darker color than your gloss or lipstick.
4:Less is more during the day
Ever notice how some of your friends look their best with no makeup at all? No matter your age, there is such as thing as too much makeup. If you wear foundation, powder, blush, liner, mascara, eyeshadow, lip liner and gloss on an everyday basis, then you're probably overdoing it. Leave the heavier makeup to the evening and formal occasions and tone it down during the day: All you really need is a great mascara, concealer for blemishes and gloss. Add a pop of blush in winter.
5:Vaseline is your best friend
I actually knew this tip as a teen -- that's actually where I learned it. Vaseline is a great product to have on hand for 2 reasons: it's a great eye makeup remover in a pinch and used with a toothbrush, it's the best lip exfoliator ever.
Here's how it works: Slather on a bunch of Vaseline, then use a toothbrush to massage lips. Wipe the excess off on a tissue. Your lips will be smooth and soft.
