Question

I'm starting to wear make up and is there any..I dunoo, quick "looks" to do? Rather then just a bit of eyeliner, lip gloss all the time?

Oh and what products do you recommened.

Answer 1

If you want something you could do every day but still have some variety while having a quick, easy application... I'd suggest something liek this:

If you would like to even your complexion out, try out a tinted moisturizer and see how that works with your skin. And a setting powder if you have more oily skin. Otherwise, skip this! If you have little colour in your face (ie not a lot of natural blushing) then get a colour of blush suited for your skin tone and apply some to give a nice colouring to your face, or you could use bronzer if you'd prefer that.

As for eyes, I'd say pick up a few different liners. Get a black or brown liner (depending on if you want a more intense look or something) that you can use for days you want to look a bit softer and that you can use below your lower lash line to define your eyes a bit, and then get a liquid liner in a darker colour such as black, or have fun with colours like navy, dark purple, maybe even a dark green, and use that to make a cat eye to play your eyes up a bit. Get a nice mascara, and this might take some searching for that perfect mascara, and give a coat or two. If you'd like to wear eyeshadow, then get some earthy tones and apply a light colour all over then a darker colour in your crease (outer corner mainly) to add more depth.

Then just get a few different lip gloss colours. You can get a lighter more sheer shade for days where you play your eyes up more, and a richer colour with more "sparkle" for when you do a simple eye.

For recommended products....

With mascara, I like Maybelline Full N Soft, and if you have lots of money, I've heard good things about Benefits Bad Gal mascara (basically like the rich mans version of Full N Soft). For eyeshadows, I like covergirl shadows and L'oreal HIP (HIP is my favorite for having really nice and crazy colours without having to buy something twice the price). With eyeliners, I like Makeup For Ever eye liners, although those are expensive. For drug store brands, I like Annabelle and Marcelle (these are canadian brands though, so you may not know what they even are!) and for glosses, my favorites are the brand Philosophy which can be found in Sephora, and I love love love L'oreal and Maybelline glosses.

eyya.

urm your is year 8 yeah?

i wouldn't start to wear foundation at your age becuase i did and now i'm completely hooked on the stuff. if i were you i would wear a little bit of NYC pressed mineral powder its £3.99 from Superdrug and its really easy to apply and takes less than 30 seconds. It also covers any spots, scratches, or freckles you may have on your skin.

secondly i would apply a little bit of liquid eye liner to the top of your eye just above your eyelashes you  can get this from Natural Collection for £1.99 it could be purchased in Boots of Superdrug. Use black or brown according to what colour eyelashes you have.

Then I would apply some pencil eye liner to the bottom of your eye as liquid cannot be used here. Once again use black of brown according to your eye colour.

Eyeshadow can be used but i suggest bright colours such as neon pink and dark blue should not be used as it draws too much attenton to the eyes and may also get you in trouble from the school. if you are blonde try using a really nice eyeshadow by Dream Matte its creamy coloured and makes your eyes look awake and healthy. If you are brunette you could try using subtle brown eye shadow. Do this by making the outer ends of your eye darker blending in in the reach your natural skin tone at the bit by your eye.

If you have black or ginger hair i shouldn't use any.

Finally add a touch of mascara howver curl your eyeslashes first with eye lash curlers these can be purchased from boots and superdrug and are cheap and easy to use. apply either black of brown mascara however not too much you don't want to end up looking like you have three eyelashes. Lipgloss can also be used but once again not too much s**y Mother Pucker is my favourite as it has stuff in it which makes your lips tingle and expand a little bit.

Thanks

Its easy to make a look different everytime and the easiest way is by adding different colours (e.g lipgloss, eyeshadow ect.) You really should have some good eyeshadows to make each look different everytime. I reccomend mac but if these are to pricey there are alot of cheaper brands that are good too. I don't know your your eye colour but a golden brown eyeshadow works with all colours and is great for a natural eye and after that you can just have fun with any other colours. Other things you may need are concealer and foundation (or tinted moisturiser) And I think you should spend the most on your skin products as your skin is most important. Also a good cheek and browbone highlighter is great and can make a real difference. And the rest is just eyeliner, mascara, blush, bronzer, lipgloss, lipstic.. and whatever. Oh and for the quick ''look'' just throw on some different eyeshadows (A good brush can make a difference, I reccomend macs 217)

Wear tinted moisturiser- try Nivea Young

Mascara- Maxfactor

Maybe a little eyeliner, but it can look harsh- Rimmel or Miss Sporty

Concealer if you need it- Rimmel or Boots Natural Collection

Tinted Lip balm- Nivea Caregloss and Shine.

I got school tomorrow :(

Answer 5

HI, avon turquoise eye liner from avon, it goes on lovely and looks stunning with a bit of lip gloss.

Answer 6

Natural always looks good. A shimmery beige eyeshadow, a light volume mascara, and a a natural pink lipstick.  you can also use the lipstick as a blush..smile and apply on the apples....blending upward to the top of your ear

Answer 7

since youre just starting out i'd say not to use foundation yet...wait till you really really need it because it can cause alot of damage to your skin. if your skin is nice foundation will s***w it up. for a quick look..try using some neutral eyeshadows like brown and champagne-y colors with brown eyeliner and mascara. brown in place of black really tones down your makeup for daytime.

some liquid liner, mascara and blush will really make you look jsut pretty..not overdone.

Answer 8

Answer 9

dont over do it is my main advice!

p.s i personally only wear eyeliner and mascara sometimes, I wear eye shadow if I can be bothered lol never lipstick

Answer 10

I recommend the Nivea young range-it's teenage friendly because it's cheap and not too heavy on young skin, and they do a really nice tinted moisturiser that kina acts like a light foundation. I'd say for your age, all you need is a bit of tinted moisturiser (blend with fingertips and don't use too much), lipgloss and the tinyest amount of mascara (brown always look more natural). If you are going to wear makeup, remember to wash it off every night- try using an exfoliating face wash and a skin toner every night (you can get them in any good chemists) to stop spots and also your makeup will go on easier and look more natural because you'll have lovely smooth skin.
