0 LIKES UnLike

I'm 15. I always wear a lot of make up (foundation, pressed powder, blush, mascara, shadow, liner), but i want to cut down. Any suggestions? I would like to keep at least the liquid foundation and the pressed powder.

BTW, I am Caucasian, with light hair and tan skin, no acne, big eyes (gross i know), blue eyes, and very thick, long eyelashes.

Any comments would be appreciated!

  1. just get rid of the foundation - why bother if you're skin already looks nice, it's not worth it. just use powder, maybe a mineral one from maybelline if you still want to "cover" up a bit more. :)

    keep the blusher, go for a reddish tone rather than an orangey one. it looks more natural. make sure you go along your entire cheekbone in an upwards movement, not just on your cheeks like a little gnome.

    eyeshadows can do ALOT for your eyes. so really work with them, you have blue eyes, so work with greens. i'd get a little eyeshadow kit especially for blue eyes, they come with instructions on how to really flatter your eyes.

    if you do the above, then maybe you'll feel comfortable without liner.

    keep the mascara long and clump-free, and it's pretty much guaranteed to look nice!

    a nice nude lipgloss always adds a fresh sort of glow to any look.

    :) work with what you have.


  2. If you are asking for the fact of impressing someone then I want to give you good advice that I learned. Guys like less makeup, they like to see real beauty. However, if this isn't what you are asking then I would also give you good advice. I wear minimal makeup because I just can't stand to put it all on in the morning. I use to be the same way and would wear lots of makeup and now I have cut back. Just do your foundation and powder and put your mascara on thick. Make your eyes stand out since you have really thick and long eyelashes. That is what really stands out is your eyes.  

  3. It sounds like you have beautiful skin already, why would you want to cover that up? And big blue eyes? Light hair? You have all the features i want, you definitely don't need all that makeup. Black mascara and gold eyeshadow will play up your eyes, a pink or clear lip gloss will accentuate your lips, and a highlighter under the arches of your eyebrows, and the inner corner of your eyes will make you look even prettier. I hope this helps!

  4. Don't say big eyes are gross!! They are not!!

    Anyway I think I could really help you, have you ever tried mineral powder/foundation?  It is basically foundation that you apply as powder (so its way easier no lines or rubbing in!) and creates a light, flawless look.  It lasts all day and you would not need to use any other face make up.  I am a consultant with a company that provide this make up where you can pick from a wide range of colours.  

    Please email me for more info and/or visit my website www.dawnjackson.myarbonne.co.uk.  Everyone I know that has tried this face make up loves it!  

    Look forward to hearing from you!

  5. If you want to cut down on the amount you wear, I recommend you get a tinted moisturiser. This can be put on your face before any of your makeup. It will give the appearence that you are wearing some, but you can also put your foundation and pressed powder on top of this. Remember, foundation doesn't have to be put all over your face either, just in the areas you feel you need it!

    If you have thick long eyelashes, why try not putting on the mascara, and then just putting a bit of eyeliner on. It will make your eyes 'pop' without looking like you have plastered yourself with makeup

    :)

  6. Cut the eye linger and shadow.  Are you sure you need both foundation and pressed powder if you do not have acne.  At your age it would probably be best just to use pressed powder.  

  7. Okay big eyes are not gross and you can still use all of these just not so much. Maybe get a lighter pink or peach something more natural for the cheeks so it doesnt look like your putting it on and eye liner maybe just on the top and not on the bottom, mascara you need to put on. If you want to cut down just dont use as much, dont cake it on. But i would continue to use all of those.  

  8. I would recommend that you leave out foundation and use blush to give you a good flush and for blue eyes uses a light brown eyeshadow to let your eyes stand out and to make your lips pop since you have fair skin I would use a nice pink or coral avoid to dark lip color and no mascara since you have thick long eyelash. loses pressed powder if not needed. Go www.covergirl.com once you sign up they will match all the products for you skin tone,eye color,hair color. This helped me alot.

  9. try just foundation with a little blush, mascara, and eyeliner only on top, it looks really cute, trust me. if u have no acne foundation should be put on minimally cuz it not needed.
