Makeup Tips for Teenagers:
Ok, so you are not blessed with the best skin and already have a pimple a day before the party. No need to panic, that’s what teen makeup is all about. One thing I would like to mention here though, you must avoid using make up on a daily basis, as it would simply harm your skin in the long run.

• For girls who need to brighten up their skin, firstly you need follow a good skin care routine. Use a deep cleanser to remove all the oils and traces of makeup every night. Use a gentle scrub once in a while to get rid of dull skin. I know you would be crazy about foundations, but teens don’t actually need to use foundation. Please leave that to the grown ups. If you are having spots or marks, use a concealer to hide the problem areas. Use tinted bronze shades that can add to the natural glow of your skin. Apply this on the cheeks, forehead, chin and the nose. This would help you achieve a sun kissed look. Use some loose powder to even out the uneven texture of the skin.
• Go in for eye makeup only for parties at night. You can begin with a light eye shadow to cover the eyelid. Then take a slightly darker eye shadow and cover the area towards the top of the eyelid. Choose shades that suit your skin tone or you can go in for shades that match your outfit. Be careful of zany shades such as blue as it may tend to make you look pale. Apply a black/brown liner to the eyelid and apply some kohl under your eyes to give them definition. This would help you bring attention to your eyes. Finish with a coat of mascara to your eyelashes. This would help in making your eyes appear wider.
• If you need to define your eyebrows than go in for an eyebrow pencil that is a shade lighter than your natural shade of the brows. Use an eyebrow comb to brush it out evenly.
• Makeup tips for teenagers can never be complete without a blusher. The blusher helps to add to the warmth of the skin and can also help to liven up the look. For a chiseled look, dab some blusher a little below your cheekbones. Use the blusher in an outward direction if you want your eyes to appear wider.
• Lipsticks are probably high on the must haves on most teens. Always use a lip liner so that you can define your lips well. Use natural shades for the day and dark shades for the night. Nude shades work best for a sun kissed look in the morning hours. Top it with loads of gloss for haughty lips. You also need to keep the lipstick shade in co-ordination with your eye shadow. Both have to be on similar lines. Light shades also help to make your lips appear fuller.
• Highlighters help to bring more attention to specific areas of the face. Use a silver highlighter under your brow to jazz up the eyes.

Some factors to consider for Teen Makeup:

• Ensure you have the right brushes for the makeup application. This would help you blend it well.
• Always test the foundation or products that you have not regularly used to know how your skin would react. This would help you avoid any hassles later.
• Clean your makeup brushes once you are done. Do not leave any color on them for a long period of time.
• Avoid heavy makeup and also ensure you clean the face once you come home from the party.

Well, teen makeup should be used to enhance your features. Remember, you must not depend on this to be truly beautiful. Always eat right and be happy. This is bound to reflect in your face!
