Q&A for How to Do a Simple Makeup Look for School

Mascara wands usually do the job, as the mascara is slightly wet, and then dries in place.

No. Eyeliner just adds extra definition. It is not necessary.

I simply use foundation around my eyes (helps with dark circles or discoloration) and use a bit of lavender, light pink or beige eyeshadow. I finish with a red-tinted chapstick. It makes my face look natural and fresh.

Yes, once you have completed your entire makeup look, set your face with setting powder.

You may not be very skilled at makeup when you first start out, but just like with everything, practice makes perfect. If you need some guidance, ask a relative or friend with a lot of makeup experience, go to a makeup counter and have them give you some tips, and/or watch online tutorials. In addition, stick with easy-to-use products and simple makeup looks if you're a beginner.

I do a little wing on the end, but it is very thin, and I think this looks fine. Just don't overdo it.

A medium camel brown and coral/pink lip tint would look great on brown skin.

Use clear or brown mascara and Vaseline or lip gloss. Aquaphor is another good option for lips and helps for small cuts and burns. Slightly shimmery eyeshadow (like liquid eyeshadow) is good. Use light blush and concealer (if you have things on your face to hide like under eyes and dark spots). Pimple patches are cute, and tinted sunscreen is helpful.

Do not use makeup over your acne. It will clog the pores even more and make the acne breakout worse. Wait it out but if you must, use tinted mosturizer.

Use an oil-controlling primer (like the Maybelline Master Prime) and use an oil-controlling foundation (for this I recommend the Maybelline Fit Me! Poreless Matte or just use a powder foundation) and a setting spray (a good one is the Milani Make it Last).

For a natural look, use light terracotta shades on the eyes and a little brown eyeliner. For a more glam look, use colors like blue to bring out your eyes.

It depends on your school's policies and what you want to do. You can use pink or brown eyeshadow as that won't be as bold and is more likely to blend in with your skin, while still being slightly noticeable.

It could either be the makeup that's causing the problem or the fact that you’re not caring for your skin properly. If it's the latter, develop a skin-care regimen that is right for your skin type. If you are taking good care of your skin, however, it could be that the makeup is wrong. Find a foundation/concealer that fits your skin type best.

All you really need is concealer, BB cream, clear brow gel, blush, lip gloss, mascara and neutral eyeshadow. Natural-looking makeup is best for your age.

At your age, your skin is delicate, and makeup can damage it. It can also make you look too grown up. Wait a few years.

You can braid it overnight. There are inexpensive, heatless curlers, by the way.

Use clear mascara, lip gloss, lip balm, Vaseline, tinted sunscreen, light blush, or slightly shimmery eyeshadow.

You definitely DON'T need all that stuff. It is recommended if you want to do a whole cakey face of makeup. There are also so many different makeup styles that have different materials. If you be yourself, then people will most likely LOVE you. Nobody likes a fake person. You will eventually find other people like you to be friends with. Also, your skin is still young, you can just stick with lipgloss and mascara. I'm your age and it's what I do everyday

Use an exfoliant and a moisturizer.

Colors like terracotta and orange tones tend to complement blue eyes. Other shades, such as blues, purples, and greens can look good and bring out the color in your eyes.

Try getting a new eyelash curler, maybe your eyelash curler is too old and needs replacing, if not maybe you are curling your eyelashes incorrectly. Make sure to pump your eyelash curler more than once to curl them. To hold the curl of your eyelashes, invest in some lash primer and waterproof mascara as waterproof mascara holds curl for longer. Also, get an eyelash brush to brush out eyelashes while applying the makeup.

You can use black eyeshadow or a dark eyeshadow and an eyeliner brush. This is also easier than eyeliner because you can smudge it out when you make a mistake.

Shades of blue, green, purple, and even colors like terracotta can bring out blue eyes. Just be careful not to overdo it though, because if you do, then people will be paying more attention to your eyeshadow than your eyes!

It's your choice, but I wouldn't recommend it. In elementary school, your skin is very delicate and wearing makeup at that young of an age can damage it and make you look very grown up. Wait until you're in upper middle school, like age 13. Your skin will love you for waiting!

Unless she's in dance or theatre, I wouldn't recommend allowing her to wear makeup that young. Makeup of any kind looks out of place on a young child as it tends to make them look too grown up. She doesn't need any makeup at all.

Light blues would look good for purple eyes.

To brighten blue eyes, opt for warm colours such as orange, copper or bronze. If you’re trying to enhance blue eyes, try cool colours like silver, blue or green.

Any nude color could work. Browns, skin tones, any light colors work for green eyes. But when it comes down to it, try new things and see what works for you individually!

Not necessarily. Try a smoky eye or dark colors. Light colors don’t look good with green eyes.

Target, Walmart or Ulta Beauty have some inexpensive items.
