Since you're young, you should try to stick for more natural looks. Being young is natural beauty enough =)

Foundation:

Do you have skin problems you would like to cover up? If so, try a light foundation.

Cream foundation = heaviest coverage

Liquid foundation = medium to light coverage

Powder/Mineral foundation = light to medium coverage

Cream and liquid foundations can be applied with a brush or a makeup sponge. Dab a bit on your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. Using your tool of choice, blend lightly over imperfections. Make sure you get your jawline. Blend along your jawline and neck so it doesn't look like you have a mask of foundation on! You can set the foundation with a light sweep of powder.

If you already have good skin, but need a little bit of cover up, try a tinted moisturizer. It's lighter than foundations but has just a bit of coverage to get the perfect, glowy skin look.

But if your skin is naturally nice, foundation is not necessary. Stick to a moisturizer with spf 15 or higher instead.

Spend more on foundations. Try going to Sephora, they have a ton of great brands and people to help you choose your right shade.

Blush:

Blush always looks great on a fresh, natural face! Try cream blush for a more natural, glowy look. Powder blushes work well too. Get a natural shade that is the same shade as when you pinch your cheeks, or when you're just done exercising.

Powder: Using a blush brush, swirl it over your powder blush and gently tap excess off. Smile and find the apples of your cheeks (the two fleshy areas when you grin.) and gently swirl the color over the apples and gently blend towards your temples.Make sure your makeup looks light and natural. You want a soft glow, you don't want to look like your got punched!

Cream: using your fingers, dot about 3 dots on the apples of your cheeks and blend with your fingers. Make sure everything is well blended.

You don't have to splurge your money on blush. There are a ton of great drugstore brands. Revlon and Loreal are some good brands.

Eyes:

You're young so stay away from heavy eyemakeup that can ruin your natural beauty! Try a light wash of eyeshadow from lashline to just a bit above your crease. Covergirl's One-Eye-enhancers in MINK looks great on anyone with any eye color and skin tone. It's a shimmery, natural, gold.

You can also lightly line the top of your lashline with a pencil eyeliner to further bring out your eyes. Brown is the most natural color, but black is the most common. Try Almay's eyeliners or Revlon.

If you want to bring out your eyes further, curl your lashies and add one light coat of brown mascara (brown is the most natural). Maybelline makes amazing mascaras. I've also heard great things about Covergirl's lashblast mascara. Don't waste your money on high end expensive mascaras because mascaras usually dry up in about 2 - 3 months and need to be thrown away. Drugstore brand mascaras are just as good if not better.

Lips:

There are so many varieties of lip products out there! Do you want a more natural look? (tinted lip moisturizers - Neutrogena) Or do you want show stopping lips? (lip glosses - any drugstore brand)

Good luck and have fun!

Answer 4

I know some really great products!

I love bright and vibrant colors, so I would say for Expensive go with either MAC or URBAN DECAY.

For inexpensive, go with COVERGIRL eye shadows because they just came out with a great line of bright colors including, lime green, sunshine yellow, cotton candy pink, etc. etc.

Also for inexpensive, you can get really awesome colors from CLAIRES! I know that's kinda weird, but they make great colors.

Loreal HIP, and MAX FACTOR are great too.

Covergirl, you can get at CVS, WALGREENS, TARGET, and WAL - MART.

Loreal HIP is available mostly at CVS or WALGREENS.

MAX FACTOR you can either go to their site or WAL MART.

One more!

Go onto GOOGLE.COM and search MEDUSA'S MAKEUP.

They have REALLY REALLY bright colors as well. :]]

I can show you all the awesome things I do with my make up.

Good luck!

Hope this helped!

Answer 5

MAC cosmetics, if you ask they'll teach you. Its pricey but a more cheaper one i would suggest NYX singles.  

Answer 6

Best makeup to wear in my opinion is MAC. I love MAC! They are a little pricey but very worth it. As far as drugstore and cheaper brands go I always liked Rimmel. They sell Rimmel at Walmart. And if you are needed help applying makeup check out this link to makeup tutorials on youtube.

I am a makeup guru as well and have found youtube to be very helpful!

Mabelline has the best mascaras. The great lash that is pink with a green lid is amazing.

Rimmel has great eyeliners.

Loreal HIP is a very popular drugstore brand. They are comparable to MAC and a little cheaper as well. The duo eyeshadows are amazing and show up very well.

As far as face makeup like powders and foundations I would go with cover girl tru blend.

Cover girl has great lipsticks too.

Hope this helps and good luck with your makeup search.
