Q&A for How to Do Natural Pretty Makeup for School (Teen Girls)

Your tan can definitely wash out certain lip gloss shades. Try a warm coral or deep pink lip gloss shade instead. Those colors really pop against tan and darker skin tones!

You can definitely use all of those products! Since you're aiming for natural-looking skin, you only need to apply a little powder to the areas where you get oily (rather than applying powder all over your face). Use a rose or peachy cream blush for a healthy, natural glow.

You can if your school and parents are okay with it. If you're going for a natural look, though, you really don't need to use bronzer or eyeliner. If you decide to use them anyway, use a light touch so your overall look is still natural-looking!

I think what your dad is trying to say is that natural-looking makeup looks best on teenagers. Natural-looking makeup smooths out your skin tone, hides imperfections like pimples, and plays up your natural features. That's all the makeup you really need to look amazing at your age! If you apply too much makeup, it tends to look heavy and unnatural.

9 is pretty young to be applying a full face of makeup! To be honest, a little lip gloss is really all you need to look great at your age. If you apply a lot of makeup products, the results will probably look a bit too unnatural on your youthful face.

Most girls don't start applying makeup until they're about 12 or 13. If you're younger than that, it's understandable if your mom doesn't want you to wear it yet. If you're older than that and she's still saying no, ask her to explain her reasoning to you. If your friends are already wearing makeup, tell your mom that. She could change her mind.

Middle school is really young for makeup! Most girls do start wearing makeup between the ages of 12 and 14, though, which is about middle school age. Makeup can be really fun and empowering to use; it's not really about "bettering yourself." It's more about enhancing your favorite features (like your eyes) so they really stand out.!

Drug stores (CVS, Walgreens), grocery stores, department stores, beauty supply retailers (Sephora, Ulta), and online.

You don't. She will ALWAYS find out, trust me (I speak from experience). A better idea would maybe be to find a way to convince her to let you wear it, although depending on the mother, I know this can be nearly impossible. Try to talk to her (calmly) about why she doesn't want you to wear makeup and see if you can compromise (i.e. starting with something like a tinted lip balm and maybe a little blush and working your way up to other things).

It really depends on your skin type, and you will probably need to experiment a bit before finding a brand that works for you. If you have dry skin, opt for something moisturizing. If you have oily skin, try something that is matte. Also, there are different types of concealer formulas meant for certain areas of the face. For example, liquid concealers are usually used under the eyes, while sticks/creams are used to cover blemishes. Do some research online about what you should use and what you are going to buy to find what works for you easily.

If you have permission to do so and you feel comfortable, absolutely. Just remember that if you have quite young skin, makeup can damage it.

I just started sixth grade not too long ago. I just use foundation, concealer (when I don't get enough sleep), mascara, and lip gloss.

It will work to cover them up, but it may result in more clogged pores and more pimples. Using a blemish-fighting primer underneath would help prevent that (I use the E.LF. blemish control primer and I love it). But of course the best thing to do would be to wash your face frequently and use acne medication so you won't have to use concealer at all.

This used to happen to me too when I lived in a very dry climate. I would just make sure to put a generous amount of lotion on and make sure the skin around my nose was very moisturized before I put on concealer, and usually that would help a lot. Also, using liquid concealer might help (if you aren't already).

This depends on your skin tone, but generally browns and flesh-colored pinks are the best natural colors. Other natural colors are reds, blacks, and yellows, but they need to be used with a very light hand and need to be a very light shade. Try to stay away from blues, greens, and purples.

You could use a little bit of concealer or foundation, as well as some powder to set it.

I would do moisturizer, a little bit of concealer, a little bit of powder, a touch of a blush that matches the lips, highlighter on the apples of your cheeks, and a red or pink tinted lip gloss

You can get makeup for cheap at drugstores, like CVS and Walgreens. Target has plenty of cheap makeup as well.

Light makeup is a really important if you want nobody to notice. Simple makeup would include light blush and lip gloss, and a really light eye shadow.

Try using a spot treatment gel on top of any acne you have, then apply your makeup on top. I recommend Clean & Clear.

Try an acne fighting face wash and moisturizer. Make sure you wash your makeup off every night, and avoid wearing foundation if you can help it.

I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you're asking, but I use lemon, activated charcoal, and hydrogen peroxide to lighten my freckles. I like using these three ingredients because they are natural, but the results are not too drastic.

I have the same problem. Put a darker foundation around it and do contouring. There are a lot of tutorials about this on YouTube if you're not sure how to do it.

Tell them the reasons you want to use makeup by listing the problems you think you have on your face, such as uneven skin tone, pimples, or being bullied for having a super pale face or lips.

Take a fan brush and lightly dust some of the product on it (you can also use your fingers if you wish to). Apply it on the high points of your cheek bones, on your Cupid’s bow and on the tip of your nose.

There are many other lip choices, such as lip balm, tinted lip balm, lip lacquer or lipstick.

It’s up to you and depends on your skin. At that age, I recommend some concealer if you have acne, mascara (clear, brown or black) and a tinted lip balm.

One thing you could use is concealer. It works well for dark patches.

Try to subtly bring up the topic of makeup in a conversation with your mom, then ask her if you can wear makeup. However, only ask her when she is in a good mood or if you received good grades, because then she will be more likely to agree. It may also be helpful to give valid reasons about why you should wear makeup, in case she is reluctant to let you. Above all, don't whine or act immature if you don't get what you want, because that will only make the situation worse.
