Im a dummy when it comes to makeup

Question

im 13 i dont want to look too grown up but to enhance my appearance a little bit. i want to wear foundation and/or concealer but my mom wont let me bc she thinks it wont do anything to my skin. and i think it will cover up my pimples and dark scars from acne. what else should i wear and how to apply it? i currently wear dark brown eye liner.

Answer 1

how about a loose powder, thats always great for evening out the skin tone and its not too much. you should also wear mascara, it always makes the eyes pop and some nice lipgloss =)

Answer 2

How about some rouge?

For where to put it on your face, there's an imaginary triangle to go by.

Imagine a line starting from the bottom of your nose and draw it straight out to the side of your head. It should point to the hole in your ear. The rouge should not go below that line.

For the second line, imagine a line starting from the bottom edge of the nose and draw an imaginary line that goes up and just touches the edge of the eye socket and extends out into your hairline. The rouge should not go above that line.

The third line of the triangle is not as strict as the other two. As you lightly brush the rouge out towards the sides of your face, the rouge should fade out at the edge of the eye sockets.

Nordstrom sells a kit from Bare Escentuals.  The make up is just minerals, and is so light, you can even sleep in it.  It is a bit expensive, but it comes with a DVD that tells you how to apply everything.  It's really great, and really natural looking.

Answer 4

at 13 i was expirementing with many different kinds of makeup until i found the perfeect shades but i always limited myself to just my eyes. AT 13, you shouldnt use and concealers or foundation. Stick to putting on eyeliner with mascara and a pretty eyeshadow that brings out your eyes. You can also wear a clear to light pink lip gloss. Im 16 now and i use copper eyeshow black eyeliner and mascara with a light pink lip gloss. Using a little bit, looks neater then too much on your face. hope that helps!

Answer 5

Maybe try a tinted mouterizor...thats applied with the fingers. or a pressed powder...applied with a powder brush...

ex oh ex oh

Answer 6

my make up is pretty simple but it makes a huge difference!!

-i apply just foundation under my eyes to even out my complexion and get rid of any dark circles (you really don't need concealer. i used to have it but foundation by itself works great).

-then i do liquid eyeliner for the top and a little bit of pencil eyeliner on the bottom (both ebony black color).

-i top that off with a little mascara (i looove the green define-a-lash from maybelline).

-and then to give my face an extra touch i apply a bit of blush on the apples of the cheeks. and ta dah!  

i get amazing makeup tips from watching "what not to wear" fridays on TLC. so i would definitely recommend that show! the makeup expert tells you all about how to apply things, what colors suit your skin best, etc. etc. she's amazing!

good luck!

at your age I would go natural as the makeup could cause more problems sometimes it looks like you are covering something up so then it looks fake.  I dont wear much makeup and my friends say that I look younger than my years and want to know MY secret well mine was no makeup or very little and washing with good old soap and water oh yeah and I always use Pears soap and a product called CETOFIL for a lotion cause it is fragrance free and is good for your skin.  Good luck and if your acne reallllly bothers you then see your doctor as there are medications and things but it will get better with time.  I am 48 so been there done that my acne went away when I got older but it was a bit of a problem for me.  Good luck girl and have a great day. Sandy.

....nd sometimes eyeshadow but thts all u need

Answer 9

something that I think you and you mom need to do is go to a makeup counter when your at the mall and have a consultation because the best way for you to get these questions answered is with a professional makeup artist, that way you have something that is going to enhance your natural beauty without making you look to grown up. for myself cuz im 16 and a little older i use a small amount of foundation, a sheer shimmery gold as my eyeshadow and a little mascara and thats it. when I was 13 i didn't use any makeup except for special occasions like dance performances or dances, but my cousin whose you age uses a metalic dark gold eyeshadow, in very small amounts and some dark brown mascara, but make sure not to go crazy with it because the last thing that you want is people to think you older than you are. hope this helps

Answer 10

Liners good, you wear that already...

I would pick up a nice gloss for your lips and maybe a lil mascara and blush.  If you keep it natural looking it will be really nice. Good Luck!

Answer 11

First off you need to wash your face daily. It's about having healthy skin not make up to cover it up. right now all you should use is mascara, lip gloss and maybe  a little eye shadow... Using less is better.  

Answer 12

ur moms right u dont need concealer u just need something to take awy from those pimples just try astringent or alcohol to clean your face it will get rid of the bumps an wear mascara but not too much

also try fabulous earrings from claires or icing an keep your hair down aso your not showing your whole face and try black eyeliner but put it on lightly

Answer 13

the foundation and concealer sounds good. you don't need any eye makeup or anything, you're only 13.
