How should an 8th grader wear her make-up?

Question

So, I'm going into 8th grade and need some make up help. I want to go with the natural look, but I'm not sure what kind of make up brand i should use and like should i use eyeliner and foundation??

please give me tips (:

Answer 1

i don't know exactly what kind of skin you have but if need foundation then i get something like covergirl clean make-up (classic ivory)..its smells kinda funny but just wear perfume...

if you are going to wear foundation, then you must "set it" with a powder, don't over do it, just dust it on.

if you're going to wear blush, get a subtle pink and don't do a lot (natural). google a (professional) picture of someone with blush on and see where they apply it.

eyeliner is supposed to be used on the top from the middle of the eye to the outside and from the middle of the bottom to the outside (to make the eyes look more slanty rather than round). but make sure you blend it so its not just lines around your eyes. if your dark haired- use black if you're blonde- use brown.

eyeshadow is your choice, but youre not suppose to match your eyeshadow with your outfit as a lot of people think. use something natural...put the darker color in the crease of the eye and the ligher color below it and above it but dont brush it near your eyebrows.

mascara is simple...waterproof or nonwaterproof- your choice.

if youre new with make up, it may take awhile to get your technique down, there are classes available that teach you how to do it. just ask a make up technician at a make up counter (at a mall).

for eighth grade all that make up is a little too much but just in case you wanted to use it, i wanted to tell you how to apply it.

hope it helped =]

Answer 2

Neutrogena is the best. its smooth and healthy for your skin i started using it in 8th grade myself. i would wear that and just mascara its a very natural look. and guys said they prefer girls without eyeliner..  

Answer 3

Here's what i believe you should do. Since you're only in eighth grade, you should go natural. Put your makeup on so that it looks like it's your own glow. Sort of like if you were at the beach. So here's what you do:

Put basic foundation and powder on.

Then put on a little bit of blush on your cheeks and the same blush on your eyes but just a little. finish it off with some lip gloss and your all set!  

Answer 4

if i were you i would use some kind of mineral makeup. Mineral makeup is more expensive but your face will not break out or get irritated by mineral make up! My favorite brand of mineral makeup is glow minerals! If you want to use eyeliner you can but i would shy away from anything dramatic! Make sure to try out your make up before the first day of school! Good luck and Hoped this helped!

Answer 5

im a 9th grader and i think that it looks really pretty with a natural look. what i wear is some brown mascara and some really really light pink blush. those are the only things i wear. i have dark brown hair and tan skin and that looks natural and suppperrrr pretty. eyeliner doesnt look that good. believe me. i wore eyeliner for about a year and i just went for the natural look. the eyeliner makes u look like 20. it looks ugly believe me. ive tried many shades and colors of it. i dont wear foundation cause my skin is like perfect and has nooooooooooooo blemishes what so ever lol.

so yeah those are my tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

good luck in school!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

1. Put a thin line of brown eyeliner on your lower lashes. [Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner]

2. Curl your upper eyelashes with an eyelash curler. [Any]

3. Put a coat of clear mascara on you upper and lower lashes. [Bonne Bell Smackers Lash Splash Clear Mascara]

4. Put on some lip balm. [Chap Stick Medicated Lip Balm]

5. Put on one coat of clear lip gloss. [Bonne Bell Liquid LipSmacker Clear Shine Lip Gloss, Sugar Crystals]

Using foundation or not is your choice. (:

Answer 7

lol SAME HERE!! anyways if your mom lets you sure but you should post up a picture first

but anyway you should never use anything thats selling on tv like bare minerals

they clog pores

and if you already have some acne by make up that is hypoallergenic and noncomedenic cause otherwise itll clog your pores

ok so if you have small eyes apply a thin line of eyeliner on the area where your eyelashes are and below it too but on the tip apply some too and take your finger smudge it slightly upward that way the whole affect makes you look like you have bigger eyes and itll pop out more.

if you have just a normal skin color i suggest you apply a metallic blue with a little black and remember make it noticable and THIN

if you have more tanned looking skin to light colors that are noticable

if you have very light skin you can basically try anything but make sure its a light or medium color that is exotic

now for the lips...never wear lipstick ~!!!!!!!!!

just take the tiniest amount of lip gloss and apply on the middle area of your lips and to finish it off ..over the lip gloss apply vaseline or chapstick or any soft looking lip balm

if you have thin lips, buy one of the lip plumping glosses but only apply a little

if you have regular ones just do whatever ;]

if you have thick lips then just wear vaseline

if you want foundation just apply a small amount cause this makeup tends to make you look older and we dont want that do we?

but i recommend covergirl for foundation and for lip gloss try going into an asian but high quality store or just go to a drugstore...its not all bad

eyeliner....use mac or the same company as the lip gloss

hope i helpes

Answer 8

I would go with the mineral makeups if you do decide to start wearing foundation. They're light, easy on your skin and you won't have to worry about a horrible base line on the jaw!

However, I wouldn't rush things. You could probably just get away with lip gloss, and maybe some mascara (rather than eyeliner). If you do try eyeliner, go with the pencil vs. the liquid- it's very hard to get the liquid looking right. Also, just make sure you don't get it too heavy. Maybe use a dark brown vs. a black eyeliner. Good luck!

Answer 9

I'm going into 8th grade this friday! I can't wait. If you want people looking at your face and going 'whoa. She's pretty.'Wear a light lip color so you don't over-do it, but go all-out with the eyes. Mascara, a nice eye-shadow, and then, work it! lol. [I was just 'one of the guys' a few years ago so I learned what they like. Then one day, I wore it and one of them told me I looked hot and so we started going out. lol]

Answer 10

i'm going into 8th grade and i use dior eye liner and cover girl mascara

i also wear foundation.

i suggest using eyeliner mascara and foudation

put eyeliner o nboth the top and the bottom of your eyes(:

and only apply mascara to your top lashes

Answer 11

for parties try experimenting smoky eyes, but dont use the traditional smoky eye colors, try browns, it will make u look wonderful!

for hanging out just plain mascara is great!

try going to the MAC or Sephora counter in Macys or store to ask for help with your makeup.

just mascara and a thin eyeliner line looks great! also use a powder foundation beccause it will look natural, but you still will have an even complexion!

Hope i helped!

Answer 12

none your too young

Answer 13

stick with drugstore brands, like neutrogena mineral sheer foundations.  They're easy to use and good for your skin.  plus it's a powder so you don't have to deal with liquid makeup that tends to clog pores.  It also helps because you're still growing and using heavy make up is probably bad for your skin.  They are cheaper than department stores and sephora too.

You can also buy a plum colored blush, brown mascara, and eyelash curler, and shiney lipgloss.  If you want some make up for your eyes, buy a kit that matches shades together.  I know tons of store brands combine shades.  Maybe some browns and champagnes would be great for a natural look.

Answer 14

   I'm a tenth grader in high school so i've been there. I didn't wear makeup in eight grade...so i guess i haven't really BEEN there but you get the point. I wasn't aloud to were makeup then but even if i was i would have gone with the natrul look. Eye liner isn't really natrul but it is pretty if you don't use to much, you do have to be carefull with the amount you put on, because i knew girls who wore to much and they didn't always look good like they thought.

    When people are as young as we are, foundation isn't really needed. Maybe if you have zits or discoloration you could wear some but wearing it with zitz isn't really a good idea, that tends to make it look worse.

    So I say go for the natrul look but it's fun to wear a little more to somthing special like a dance or maybe a date. Good luck, and just be sure not to go overboard the the eyeline...or anything on the eye.

Answer 15

I personally think you're way too young for makeup. You want a natural look, right? Well, look that way and you'll find much in the way of a better feeling about yourself. Just think, you might even avoid any acne caused by all the harsh chemicals! Just be yourself.............

Answer 16

im going to the 8th grade too!

but i dont wear make up. if you want the natural look, just go natural!

unless u gots sum pimples, cover them up with concealer.

idk which brand cuz i dont use ANY make up

sum bronzer would be nice to.

clear, no color lipgloss.

if your skin tone is uneven to foundation to even it out

if not, dont use it becuz it clogs pores!

Answer 17

I'd say mascara, (Covergirl Lash Blast works great) maybe some eyeliner (I use Almay) and maybe a little eyeshadow a few shades darker than your skin tone, or a color that brings out your eye color (just don't use the same shade as your eyes). I definitely don't recommend wearing foundation, because I know a lot of girls who had great, flawless skin, and then they started wearing foundation, and then they broke out. And if you feel like you ABSOLUTELY have to wear foundation, go with something water based or light. Good luck. :]  

Answer 18

Truth be told guys like less makeup, if you are going to use eyeliner, use a pencil and blend,instead of heavy foundation, use pressed pwder, apply with brush, and either a little bronzer for blush or blush.

Answer 19

As a school counselor, I don't believe 8th graders should be wearing makeup unless its for a special event like a dance or a prom. Allow your skin to breathe and stay young looking. Girls usually start wearing minimal makeup in high school. Give yourself that added time. If you ruin your skin at a young age, it will look old and blotched which will make you look older.

Answer 20

yea u can use eyeliner and foundation just dont cake it on...and for natural, use pale eyeshadows with a little shimmer... i recomend covergirl!

good luck and have a great 8th grade year....take it frm me enjoy it while u got it  

Answer 21

try not to use makeup because by the time ur around ur 20s you are NOT GONA LIKE HOW UR FACE LOOKS.

trust me.. just wait until you REALLY need it.

my friend is addicted to makeup and she wears it heavily.. when she grows up, she isnt gona like her face at all. i worry about her.

anyways.. try not to use makeup.there are guys that like "all natural"

Answer 22

Well I was and 8th grader last year. And what I did was put on a little bit of eyeliner to my bottom or my top part of my eye and some mascara. If you have some blemishes then I would use some powder cover-up. And sometimes a bit of lip gloss. If you have many bottom eyelashes, then i would only put the eyeliner on your top, but if you don't have many on the bottom then i would use a little on the bottom. If you have any more questions you can just email me. =]

Answer 23

i was an eight grader last lear and there is nothing i hated more than fake girls who wear too much make up,  nobody reaslly likes that look so i would say mabb a little eyelnner and mascara, some foundation too, but nothing over the top, good luck in 8th grade it is a fun year.

help with mine?http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 24

ok... u don't want to look like you are trying to hard. if you are uncomfortable with your skin, use a little bit of foundation (MAKE SURE TO BLEND, you don't want to look like you have a mask on). a light and sheer blush on the apples of your cheek will give you a more natural look. Also, curl your lashes, no need for mascara. finish it off with a bit of sheer  shimmery lip gloss

REMEMBER! LESS IS MORE!!!!!!  

Answer 25

if your not looking for something pricy look for eyeliner from alamay, they have matching colors to bring out your eyes. you only really need foundation if you have dark spots, and stuff like that. i dont use it yet. just to a little mascara (also alamay) eyeliner a light coat of eye shadow, and lip gloss. if you want a quicker face just do some eye liner or mascara ( you dont need both) and some lip gloss.

Answer 26

well im going into 8th grade to but i just wear on my face bare n minerals whitch is really natural. do not wear any of the liquid stuff like that. alo mascara and a little bit of eyeliner looks good.

Answer 27

Personally, if you can, I know that when I was in 8th grade, my mother wanted to help me with this. It is every mother's dream to help her daughter, even in the slighest way. I am now going into 9th grade, so I have experienced it recently. If not, just go with what looks good on you. Not everyone needs a lot of make-up to look good. Natural beauty is the best.

Good luck in 8th grade.

<3

Answer 28

I use liquid coverup. it has white stuff on one side, and the color of your skin on the other, and you press the top, i dab stops all over my face and rub it in. and i use mascara. so it looks like im really not wearing any makeup (:

Answer 29

mascara and lip gloss you don't need a lot. And the the water proof mascara would be better just in cause you get wet you don't want to have mascara running down your face. Avon waterproof wash off mascara is probably. http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.asp?pf...  

Answer 30

Yes, go natural. With a little foundation.

and some eyeliner, with mascara.

Don't ever just wear eye shadow.

you should always wear mascara with it.

I hope you have great year !

Answer 31
