Never used makeup before. need advice on products and procedure?

Question

i'm nearing sixteen and i havent used any makeup except mascara and lip gloss.

I need something for everyday that is really light and not too noticeable

something that will just make me look a little fresh goin to school.

what products do u recommend?

Answer 1

ALL NAPOLEON PRODUCTS !

go into a store and tell them they wil match up a colour for ur tone of your skin etc.

or maybelline is also good but its best to go to the experts so it looks natural

Answer 2

take a light bronze color and lightly dust it on you eye lids to brighten your face.  

Answer 3

I use Bare Escentuals.  It is a product line made from pure minerals.  If you need to cover up any imperfections or even out your skin tone, then use a foundation.  I use a foundation, then an all-over face color to give my cheeks some color.  Their eye shadows are wonderful.  The color goes on light so it is mistake proof and easy to use for beginners.  You can go into Sephora and try out the products first to see if you like them.    

Answer 4

I would use a eyeshadow that goes with your eye color.  

Answer 5

Well me in my mind i recommend you do not put any makeup on because you will be noticed in very bad ways!

Answer 6

if you dont need it, dont use it

if you want to cover up blemishes or something i would recommend covergirl true blend

its suuuuper light

i love it  

Answer 7

im the same age as you- definatley add some cute blush to add some color and freshness to your face- it makes quite a difference- some nice powder eyeshadow for an everyday look aswell- cream shadow if u want to create an intense hue- but just start with the basics- be sure not to overdue the eyeshadow- u can combine colors or use one color up to the crease in ur eye- be careful not to make it go rele past ur crease b.c it can make it look tacky;p if u have an uneven skintone u should use some foundation to even it out- light coverage if u dont have redness or blemishes- mineral makeup is rele good for ur skin- overall if u want ur look to be really light keep it simple- especially if its just goin to school- if u dont want ur makeup to make a statement just stick to light or subtle tones when wearing eyeshadow- but i really reccomend blush- in the morning before school i really dont have much time to apply alot of makeup- so i just make sure to sweep on some blush to add color to my cheeks- and mascara, maybe a bit of eyeliner, and lipcolor- if i have time i put eyeshadow

products and brands i reccomend- nyx has really nice high pigment eyeshadow- u can compare it to mac- since ur beginer i would go with cheaper brands to save money since ur experimenting- right now im using maybelline mineral blush in a peachy color, and i luv it!  i experiment so much with makeup, so ive tried so many brands from drug store to the more expensive- some drug store brands are just as good as more expensive ones- but i would stay away from the covergirl eyeshadows- the color fades quickly- infact i havent been a fan of covergirl lately- wen i first started wearing makeup i used covergirl, but it isnt that good

Answer 8

I would recommend using any of the top band to start off with because any cheap band can cause you allergy reactions. I would use either Cover Girl, Revlon, Mac any that you choose. But I would do is to go to a drugstore and look at there color and shades because some may not have the color you are looking for. Then maybe just to start off with maybe some mascara and then some powder and then some ice shadow, lip stick and eye shadow. When I started to wear make up i used that and I just stick with that. If you want more then just ask a rep there or even your friends or mom. I didn't start til i was like 18.  

Answer 9

look into covergirl make up i LOVE it so go to target and look at the products my cusien is  15 and she wheres black eyeliner and she looks AMAZING but if  you dont want to wearr eyeliner where light eyeshadow

Answer 10

omg ur 16

Answer 11

Go to Macy's any of the make up counters will give you tips and help you find the right colors for your skin tone and eyes, most of them do free make up right there to so you can see what it would look like :)

Good Luck

Answer 12

Any mineral makeup is light and sheer and practically idiot proof!

Answer 13

Bronzer lightly dusted all over your face, but concentrate on your forehead, nose, and cheeks when you smile...use a coat of mascara, eye shadow that is a nice pink color never looks bad on anyone.

Answer 14

concealer-hides dark circles under eyes

no7 / rimmel london / max-factor - good brands of foundation

you may like eyeliner(your individual decision)

or natural coloured eye shadow-such as browns and creams

are always good.

Answer 15

i would defintely recomment Revlon Beyond Natural foundation! it's a white lotion you rub in and it matches your skin tone. it makes your skin look perfect! it's really light but it's all you need :)

plus if you go to fry's, right now it's half off! only $6.50!
