Make-up Do's and Don'ts

[7236]

Make-up colors:

Do use pink — it looks good on everyone. Teens should use make-up that is "pretty, pastel, and sheer."


Lips:

Do use a sheer lip-gloss.
Do use lip liner that is the color of your lips. If you have to blend your liner, it is the wrong color.
Do wear lip-gloss if you do have braces. It will keep your lips moist and pretty, drawing attention away from your braces.


Foundation:

Don't wear foundation all over the face.
Do find a foundation color that "disappears" on your face, and use this to cover just your blemishes.


Eyebrows:

Do start tweezing your eyebrows at about 12-years old — but only a little bit.
Do visit a professional the first time you shape your eyebrows.
Don't fill in your eyebrows with a color that is darker that your hair color.


Eyeliner:

Don't use black or liquid eyeliner, and don't line the entire eye.
Do use a mahogany eyeliner, or a shadow as an eyeliner. Line the top lid close to the lashes.


Glasses:

Do look for smaller frames.
Do use a frame shape opposite from the shape of your face.


Black Teens:

Don't use light colored foundations and translucent powder.


Asian Teens:

Don't use a pink foundation, it will make you look like an artificial doll.
Don't use skin-whitening creams.
Do use a smudged, smoky liner on the eyes for enhancement.


Latin Teens:

Do be careful of using strong color - it tends to come across very strong on their skin.
Don't use fuschias or reds.
Do use plums and roses.

I use pink ALOT....i love pink

Don't wear foundation all over the face.

whoopsies...
I do:
a) foundation...a skin tone lighter than my own
b) a bit of blush...a pinky but not too pink
c) baby powder...not all over my face; just on outer cheekbones, under eyebrows

Do find a foundation color that "disappears" on your face, and use this to cover just your blemishes.

I used to have thick eyebrows and got them done when i was 11 then got lazy and then started up again a little but when i was 14 i decided to go THIN becuase I wasnt daring enough to shave them off to pencil them in (i love the look) and now ive grown them out a bit but they are still thin...but nice "

Eyeliner:

Don't use black or liquid eyeliner, and don't line the entire eye.
Do use a mahogany eyeliner, or a shadow as an eyeliner. Line the top lid close to the lashes.

I like using THIN black eyeliner on the bottom and pale blue or purple in the crevice of my eyes (makes the whites of your eyes look whiter)

Somedays i just do crap...like i line my eyes with hot pink lipstick or blood red...or do tear smudging...but i only do this sort of thing once in a while

Glasses:

Do look for smaller frames.
Do use a frame shape opposite from the shape of your face.

DONT SAY THE "G" WORD!

Black Teens:

I relaxed my hair once with "just for me" black childrens hair relaxer...that stuffs the shit....
I dont know what gave me the idea to do this given...I dont have "black hair"

Don't use a pink foundation, it will make you look like an artificial doll.
Don't use skin-whitening creams.
