Steps
-
Wash or cleanse your face. It is really important to have a clean canvas when you are applying makeup. Use a cleanser or other products to help heal your acne if you have problems with spots and pimples.
-
Protect your skin from the sun. Make-up covers your skin but it doesn't always block harmful UV rays. Put on a 30 FPS sunscreen, use a moisturizer with a sun protection factor or use a tinted moisturizer with a sun protection factor. This is important even if you have a tan. It can help to delay wrinkles later on in life and it prevents protection against some skin cancer.Advertisement
-
Dab on concealer if your complexion isn't perfect. Many thirteen year olds have lovely skin so don't use concealer just because you think you should. Choose a concealer for under your eyes and another one to cover pimples or blemishes.
-
Wear a bit of eyeshadow. Neutral shades such as brown and coral are especially good for 13 year olds. Apply the lightest shade under your brow bone and in the inner corner of your eyes. Apply the darkest color in your crease, and the second to darkest color on your eyelid. If your eyeshadow flakes off during the day, try investing in an eye primer. Younger girls can get away with cute fun shades so if you want to try sparkly blue or pink eye shadow for a party, go ahead.
-
If you want your eyes to look bigger then you can use white eyeliner on your bottom waterline. If you have dark skin than you can get away with using black.
-
Put on one coat of black or brown mascara if you want to. Clear is good too if you are getting into the pool because it doesn't show as much when it smudges. Curling your lashes will help.
-
Smile big to locate the apples of your cheeks, then apply a gentle touch of blush to your cheeks. If you are fair go with a light rose. If you are tan you can go with peach or a darker shade.
-
Put on some lip balm or lip gloss. Lip gloss adds more shine as lip balm focuses on moisturizing. Pink toned lipstick can look cute too.Rihanna, Founder, Fenty Beauty
