How should I do my makeup?


Question Posted Monday December 24 2007, 5:41 pm

I'm 15 and I usually don't wear any makeup but when I do I only wear some eyeliner and mascara. I wanna get more though. What kinds of stuff should I buy? i was in sephora yesterday and there's so much nice stuff but I don't know what to get. I would like it if I could get some advice from girls about my age b/c I want to wear what's in style and nothing too crazy. I have dark brown hair, blue eyes, and a light complexion. If you could just give me some tips and tell me what you do and what brands to get, that would be great! Pictures would be nice too.

I have blue eyes, brown hair and a light complexion. I use clinique foundation, with powder over it and a small amount of blush and or mac bronzer. Since i turn red really easily i use very little blush and sometimes none and its a darkish color. Then almay has eyeshadow and eye makeup for certain colored eyes, and when i wear that i always get compliments about my eyes and when i dont wear that i wear like a mauve color or just a really pretty brown with mascara and eyeliner along my top lashline. Ask if you have any questions =]

Well I use Loreal's balance foundation [combination skin though] and true match powder to set it. It looks really natural. My boyfriend keeps saying I look good since I'm not wearing makeup anymore XD Also, Covergirl is great brand for blush. Their eyeshadow is pretty good as well.

So orange eyeshadow looks great with blue eyes. It really brings it out. Almay has a set for blue eyes.

I've tried the one for brown eyes and it's amazing. My eyes are really dark.. so I'm sure you'll stand out twice as more.

I wouldn't buy anything in sephora yet. It's a bit too expensive and you should be familiar with affordable brands first. An eyeshadow set is like $30 something there. You could buy one at a drug store for like $7. Just make your way up so once you're familiar with makeup and what looks great on you.. it would be easy to go out and buy sephora or mac makeup without hesitation.


My favorite mascaras by covergirl:
Fantastic Lash
Triple Mascara

By Maybelline:

Eyeshadows by Maybelline:

[They have more but it's more on the natural side]


So Covergirl and Maybelline are great brands. You could go to a makeup department and I'm sure they could do your makeup for you.

Just make it as natural as possible.. I've seen many girls with caked on makeup and it's just horrible. You shouldn't be able to see a powdery look from a few feet away. You should try a little blush and a light orange eyeshadow. I'm not sure what's in style where you live but over here.. it's bright eyeshadow colors and really dark eyeliner/long lashes to a natural look.

Something like this:

This may help if you're looking for what coverup you want:

cover up is always a good thing to have.
try: L'oreal true match

and you can never go wrong with a little blush.
L'oreal has really good brands of it.

you might also concerdering getting some eye shadow to match your eye color or even the color of some of your clothing.

and of course you can never forget lip gloss...
it has to be very shiney so try:::

N.Y.C KISS GLOSS

they have many different colors and they even just have clear shine which is my favorite
!!!!

good luck

somethings i do;
i mix lotion and coverup (so it looks more natural and because i hate the powedered look)
put a soft blush n your cheeks going to and over your nose (this also makes it look natural)
for lips i just put on some soft lipgloss
btw I use Avon products, they are really great
heres the link to their website

Your like me, brown hair, blue eyes and a light complexion. Just remeber, you don't want too much makeup. Eyeliner and mascara are good. What I use is:
Eyes: Max Factor 2000 Calorie mascara-black and Max Factor colour perfection Eyeliner (applied only on my eye lids, right on the line where my eyelashes start
Skin: L'ORÉAL True Match (W5 Sable Doré Golden Sand)
Rouge: IsaDora (07 Soft Peach)
Lips: regular lipbalm

And that's it :D!

Well that's for day-makeup.
If I was going to a party I would have all od the above, but a bit more of everything, including eyeliner all around my eyes and a light pink-ish eyeshadow and Pink lipgloss

Hope I helped!

Okay really ,

Make up was ment for hiding flaws & all that.You want to do your mascara & eyeliner as well as a flesh / beige colour eye shadow and a rosey blush.Cover up and lip gloss , if you want.
Maybe mix some brown / natural colours in with your eye shadow.

Some good brands are Cover Girl , Maybaleen[sp?] , or anything along those lines ... They are also not so expensive.

Also , if you're looking for a more out there look or a more teen colours look type thing , try a deep purple or pink and a clear gloss with some red toned blush. and a coloured eyeliner or mascara.

Hope I helped !
xoxo
