I'm 13 and i wanna start wearing makeup. My parents would probably only let me wear light stuff.. so nothing too drastic..
Can you tell me good products to start off with and where to get them (not too expensive please)
I have medium-dark brown hair, brown eyes, oval shaped face, I'm sorta on the pale side, and i have slightly red cheeks from acne.
Thanks!!

I'm almost 14 and I haven't put on any makeup except for lipgloss or lipstick. [ twistedteen25's advice column | Ask twistedteen25 A Question ]

forget foundation and eyeshadow for now, some translucent powder to take the shine and redness down a little would be good. go for a lip gloss thats not too sticky, like a lip balm with colour added.The best changes you can make are to make sure your eyebrows are well groomed and use mascara. I Always wear blush, but if your cheeks are naturally red-no need. [ imanaligator's advice column | Ask imanaligator A Question ]

Hope i helped.... [ ilovetohelp's advice column | Ask ilovetohelp A Question ]

If you wanna get rid of the red cheeks, use concealer. Don't plaster on foundation, it looks so fake and wearing too much of anything on your face can make spots worse.
As for your eyes. Try a bit of eyeliner. It doesn't suit everyone so make sure you take a good look at your self.
I don't think it suits me, as much as I wish it did, it doesn't. So make sure you don't go out with it on if it doesn't suit you.
Try eyeliner on your top and bottom lid.
Also try a mascara. If you already have long lashes blck mascara can make your lashes look very fake, which is what happens with me. If that's the case, use a transparent mascara which seperates and makes them look longer without making them go jet black and fake-looking.
Eyeshadow .. start with pale colors or just shimmers. Don't go right up to your brow untill you know what you're doing, it can make you look like a drag queen :P it just takes practice.
As for your lips, if you're going with light stuff then a clear gloss or a light pink tinted gloss would probably look great.
Anyway, hope I helped. If you need anything else, drop me a line.

Go to the drugstore (walgreens Cvs etc.) you dont need expensive stuff to look good haha. I love maybelline water proof mascera..if you have acne then you could try cover up(conceler)..I usually use revlon new complexion cover up. It has two different colors..so you are able to mix them up to match your skin tone. For rosy cheeks really any kind of blush works..you can try L'oreal brand ..I have fair skin as well and I use the Mocha Rose. Since you are just begining your makeup experiences all you need to do is practice and soon you will get the look you want!
Hope I was of help
