i'm almost 14 and i don't wear any make-up. i only wear chapstick with spf and sometimes lips gloss.
what kind of make-up should i wear?
what about washing my face and all that stuff?
any products you recomend that are from a drugstore?
answer all my questions and you might get best answer!! %26lt;3What's a good make-up routine for a teen girl?
I'm 14 too so I can totally help you out with that! It depends on your type of skin. Do you have acne? Is your skin oily? Is your skin dry? If any of these apply to you, you should probably go see a dermatologist. If you have normal skin, then this is what I recommend:
SKIN CARE:
Wash your face with a cleanser in the morning when you first get up (if I take a shower I'll use a scrub in the shower). If you want, you can use a toner. I have some but I don't usually use it. Don't use a toner in the winter, or use an alcohol-free toner. Also, use an oil-free make-up remover. I use Neutrogena Oil-Free Make-Up Remover which you can get at drugstores. Then use a moisturizer after you wash your face and apply the toner (if you do). Try to use a moisurizer that has an SPF in the morning just incase of sun exposure. It doesn't matter if it has an SPF when you put it on at night. It doesn't exactly have to be from a department store, but that helps. I use the Clean %26amp; Clear line. That works pretty well. If you get zits occasionally around your period, dab a dot of toothpaste right on top of it. I've also heard Visine takes out the redness. Also, about two or three times per week (or whenever you take a shower) it's good to use a scrub. I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub. It's gentle enough to use everyday.
MAKE-UP:
I guess you can use some from the store, but my mom works at a department store so I have stuff from there. Here's one simple rule though: Less is more. To school, I usually use a cream-colored eye shadow, mascara, blush or bronzer on the apples of my cheeks, and that's about it. For special occasions I'll put a little bit of tinted moisturizer on the places that I need it, and maybe a little bit of eyeliner. It really depends on what you like; I don't really like a lot of make up, just a very natural look. The Bobbi Brown line at department stores has very natural looks. I know if you walk into a Nordstrom store (if you have one near you) and talk about everyday make-up they will show you what looks good on you and it's all good for your skin and won't clog your pores. Yes it is expensive, but it's all worth it. If you have a zit, DON'T USE CONCEALER! It will make it worse!! Take some foundation and put it over that. That will make it disappear.
Also, just remember:
Maybe you don't need to wear make-up. Sure, if you have a zit and you want to cover it up or you've been feeling sick and you want to add a little color to your cheeks, thats fine. But so many people will notice what you hilight with what products you use. If you have really pretty eyes, make that the focus. If you have nice lips or a great smile, make that the focus.
Hope this helps, and if you need anything else don't hesitate to e-mail!What's a good make-up routine for a teen girl?
1. Wear a quality base - like Clinique is excellent for young skin.
2. Washing your face at night and at least wipe it with warm water in the morning. Keep a clean pillowcase and keep your hands off your face.
3. Cover Girl makeup is good, so is Almay. You are so young the less you wear the better you will look - fresh. Seriously.
4. I answered all your questions - but only you can implement the suggestions! Good luck.
For some really good free advice, check out avon.com. If you can't find an AVON representative in your area, ask your Mother, Aunt, Grandma, or Big Sister. You may not need make-up, just skin care. Something to protect your skin from; insect bites, the sun, drying, ect.
To answer your questions; a) Water based make-up. It won't clog your pores as bad. Try putting a clear pimple cream under your make-up if you are prone to outbreaks. b) Wash your face with a gentle cleanser whenever it starts to feel ';oily'; c) I don't recommend any products from a drugstore, you don't know what is in them, or if they were tested on animals. I hope this helps, and have a blessed day!
Just wash face good with liquid dial antibacterial soap, foam up rinse with hot and then cold water, then apply aloe vera
to your face.
Then put some foundation on and use lipstick on lip and a little on cheek.
Use mascara to make lashes longer, (black waterproof is the best)
helloooo! i love helping people with makeup.!
1. since you just started, you should probably keep it simple with some foundation, maybe blush, neutral eyeshadow, and some brown mascara. add a tinted lip gloss or lip balm. chapstick is fine.
2. make sure all of your makeup is off before you go to bed, your pores could clog up and cause more acne than youve ever had.
3.i use a lot of maybeline/ almay /revlon, nothing too expensive.
some things i might reccomend...VVV
the eyeglide eyeshadow in champagne (color) from revlon
revlon black eyeliner
Bonne Bell VitaGloss2O in simply strawberry
CoverGirl Queen Collection Eyeshadow Quads Q240 Lion Queen
i really love how pink's makeup looks in that picture. she makes her eyes look really dramatic and everything else is very simple.
good luck with your makeup and anything here can be found at cvs.
get things that coordinate with your eye color
i would use neutrogena glow sheers, they're super light but even out skin tone and give a nice sheen
Well since you just starting to wear make-up some bronzer, eyeshadow and mascara should be good maybe some eyeliner.
And you want to be sure to wash all you make-up everyday before you go to bed b/c if it is left on it can cause pimples.
I really like Covergirl mineral powders. They have foundation, blush and bronzer. It gives you face a ';glow'; that is really pretty!
Hope that helps!
hi, first off let me just tell you I'm a 13 year old girl. well first off my favorite kind of makeup is clinique. its nice and light and you dont look to ';done'; for a daytime look. to wash my face i always use cliniques 3 step skincare system.(you can look at all of this stuff on http://www.clinique.com/ . i used to ocaninasly break out but since using the 3 step skincare system 2 times a day my face has stayed clear. drugstore products that i would recomend would be biore.http://biore.com/. i LOVE there oil bloting sheets. i also like olay. olay stuff is a little pricy for drugstore stuff but it just as good as the department store stuff. i love bigelow lip gloss and balm. http://www.bigelowchemists.com/product_i鈥?/a> . well i hope this really helped! :)
You should probably start out with a some what cheap make up just till you get the hang of putting on make up, because you will get mad if you waste make up that you spent almost $10 on.
Wash you face about twice a day. Once in the morning before you apply the makeup and once in the evening before you go to bed.
When i first started using make up i used Wet%26amp;Wild and i got it at wal*mart. It usualy runs between $1.00-$3.00 a product. And to wash your face i would recomend Clean and Clear.
Hope this helps and good luck!
just dont do anything!!! ur lucky that u have clear skin, so just wear a tinted moiturizer with spf 30 or something, coz honestly, its all ur gonna need!!! follow up with concealer (maybe that should go first!) under the eyes and blush for a rosy glow. next try some tinted lipbalm with spf 15 and ur set.

If you don't wear makeup, you don't have to pile it on. Wear what you feel comfortable with.
If you have oily skin, or want to cover up some shine, try Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder. Or anything from Clinique or MAC.
If you don't have breakouts, don't wear anything on your skin.
If you want to add colour to your face, try these blushes:
Maybelline Dream Mousse blush (use the light pink colours, or the bronze one. Apply with fingers, lightly!)
Try wearing a bit of mascara, to bring out your eyes.
Maybelline Great Lash
L'oreal Voluminous
L'oreal Lash Out
Maybelline Lash Discovery
Cover Girl Lash Exact
Cover Girl Volume Exact
Play around with nail polish. And here are some perfumes you might like:
Escada Rio
CK IN2U
anything by Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, or Victoria's Secret Pink
As for washing your face, good cleansers and products you can get from the drugstore.
These are good lines:
Biore
Oil of Olay
Neutrogena
Aveeno
Garnier
Clean and Clear
Noxema
Use a light moisteriser with spf 15 or higher.
A good skin care book is Leslie Baumann's Skin Type Solutions, because it's very thorough.
Here is a link:

Oh, and for makeup ideas, and instructions, check out magazines like Allure, Seventeen, Cosmo Girl!
Hope I helped!
I'm sure ';sunflare63'; meant well, but absolutely, positively, DO NOT use antibacterial soap on your face!
You have 14 year old skin and it's really good that you're looking to take care of it now. It's never too early to begin a beauty regimin.
MAKE-UP: The kind of make up you should wear is minimal. You should wear a light coat of mascara on your lashes, a little dusting of bronzing powder or a sun-kissed color on the apples of your cheeks and then your lip gloss or a pale shade of lipstick.
SKIN CARE: First off, try to always stick to tried and true products like Neutrogena, Cetaphyl, Aveeno, etc. These products will be gentle on your skin and give you the results you're looking for. You do not need to go to a fancy department store for the best skin care....the products I mentioned will be available at your local drugstore for a fraction of the price.
YOUR ROUTINE: this is the routine you should follow (or something close to it). When you shower in the morning don't let the water on your face get too hot. Lukewarm water is the best temperature for your skin. Pat your face dry. Put on a moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher (this will keep your skin looking younger as you get older).
Before you go to bed in the evening, wash your make-up and daily buildup off with face wash...pat dry....evening moisturizer (no sunscreen).
Any product I mention like face wash, moisturizer, etc...I am referring to the Neutrogena, Cetaphyl, Aveeno, etc.
It's a simple routine...stick to it...it will become a habit. : )
