Answer 1

Well, at 15, you can use :

Mascara

Liner

Shadow

You can apply one coat of Dark Brown mascara to the top lash, and dust some shimmery shadow, that will compliment your eyes. Like : blue = gold, brown = purple, green = purple. But remember to dust lightly from the lash line to your crease. Use a dark brown liner if you have blue or green eyes and light skin, black liner if you have brown or green eyes and tanned to dark skin.

That routine would be for school.

And for night time, all you have to change is the mascara and liner.

The mascara will be applied as two coats of black, on just the top if you have small eyes, or, on the top and one coat on the bottom if you have big eyes.

For the liner, every kind of eye will have black liner on th top, and if you choose, you could do a " cat eye ", this is like an Amy Winehouse inspired trend, but you can apply it just on the lash line, and not on the lid like Amy does it.

good luck!

I'll be a senior in high school this year, but I remember trying makeup in middle school :) Your best bet is something not too noticeable...just enough to make you look awake in the morning. I'd try a brown/black eyeliner--not too much! There are a lot of different ways to put on eyeliner...I've seen some crazy stuff. I think the easiest way is to slightly pull the outer corner of each eye away one at a time (this flattens out your eyelid) and, with your free hand, put a thin line of eyeliner right where your eyelashes meet your eyelid. If you're daring, you might try a little on the lower half of your eye, but be careful--it can easily make you look too made up. Pair that with a subtle brown or black mascara. As far as eyeshadow, start with something natural. Pastels are best to start with... Light pink, soft white, light brown, etc. I'm not sure what your skin tone is, but those tend to work no matter what. Don't go too far up your eye. Its only school... save the over-the-top stuff for parties :-P Start the shadow at your eyeliner and work your way up to the crease (the fold at the top of your lid). You might notice that halfway through the school day, your eye makeup (especially shadow) has begun to run or clump. The easiest way to combat this is to us a little moisturizer on your eyelids before putting on the eye shadow. It makes it bind to your eyes, keeping it from flaking off. Don't forget to take off your eye makeup at night... Use a formulated eye makeup remover or baby oil. Both work just as well.

Attached should be some pictures... hope this helps! :)

At 15 I don't think you will need much of anything!  I think you should get a sheer shimmery neutral color, use a good quality eyeshadow brush (those little applicators that come with drugstore brands are horrible) and brush it over your whole eyelid.  A little bit of mascara, lip balm or gloss, and your good to go!  Hope this helped a little!

Answer 4

There's a lot of tips on videojug.com, & seventeen.com (the magazine). but if you want a foundation, go with the good minerals, not those seen on tv. Apply it in thin layers after you moisturize.

Only eyes, well then you use your liner, up next to your lashes, very closely & In fine feather like strokes. Then apply your mascara, let every coat dry before adding another one. If you want,, save an extra brush, & when you put that 1st coat on, use that extra brush & pump up those lashes not having to use a second coat. Point your lashes outwards always.

Shadows, use a lightcolor then your darker color, only around crease & a very light color next to the outerbrow, blend in carefully, wiping off excess with a blending brush or a cotton ball. If you don't like it,keep on wiping it off, til you can start over. Use colors that you're comfortable with & don't clash with your clothes. Just play with it & see what you get. have fun & good luck.

-PURSEBUZZ on youtube is really popular and she has manymany videos on how-tos for makeup looks.

-You can go to a MAC or sephora store and ask a worker there to put some makeup that compliments your eyes. You'll know what kind of makeup to get and they can show you how to do it.

-Just experiment some more on yourself, maybe its the color of the eyeshadow that doesnt look good on you, so try to look for some eyeshadows and eyeliner colors that suit you. (ex. plum compliments brown eyes)
