Q&A for How to Put on Cute Makeup when You Are 13

Try neutral colors, such as beige and mild browns. They are compatible with fair skin tones, as well as ginger hair.

Respect your parents' wishes and don't wear it. Try talking to them about why you want to start wearing makeup, but don't wear it without their approval.

You can find videos online. If you go to a makeup store, there will be people there to help you.

Yes, you can, but it will not last the whole day, and it might not cover up blemishes, pimples, etc.

Yes, but keep it light. It should enhance your facial features. Try a light pink or nude shade.

Pinterest can be very helpful, as can credible online videos. Check to see if there are any makeup activities in your area.

Yes. Use makeup that will match your skin tone. Use the same tips from this tutorial, but darker tones.

Consult Apply Foundation .

Yes, Vaseline is well known to moisturize lips. But you might want to apply it with a q-tip, as it does tend to leave an oily residue.

Make sure you have the right color match for your skin. If you don't want to use a ton of product then I suggest using powder and placing a couple coats of this on your skin and neck after and before concealer. if this doesn't work, use a big powder brush and apply a coat of bronzer on your face.

You can buy it in just about any drugstore, some dollar stores, and places like Target and Walmart.

Make sure to always use primer and moisturizer before applying foundation. Bare Minerals may be a good brand for you.

Try not to overuse dark colors, as it will probably ruin your natural beauty. Also, don't add a lot of foundation and eyeshadow. However, you can apply mascara and lip gloss as much as you want, since it would not negatively affect your natural makeup.

Base: be sure to match your color and undertone (I recommend skin tint if you’re young, Fenty Skin Tint, Kosas Concealer). Loose powder: be sure to get a banana powder and not translucent as translucent ones can leave a white cast on darker skin (e.g. Wet n Wild Photofocus). Blush: magenta, purple (it will look pink on you), bright red and orange are your colors. (e.g. Juvia’s Place). Bronzer: this will enhance your skin tone, be sure it has a warm undertone. (e.g. Juvia’s Place has some good ones). Mascara: Essence Lash Princess. Lips: On brown skin, dark brown lip glosses look amazing. (e.g. Juvia’s Place). Eyeshadow: Neutral “espresso” shades.

Juvia’s Place, Rare Beauty, and LYS Beauty have great options for darker skin. Orange and purple blushes tend to look amazing on dark skin.

In the US you can buy affordable makeup at Walmart, Ulta, Target, CVS, Walgreens, and TJ Maxx. A good brand for tweens is e.l.f.

Around 16 would be a good age. If you are younger (say, 13/14), and you want to make your lashes longer, curl your lashes and then use a really good lengthening mascara (Essence Lash Princess).

I recommend tinted moisturizer, concealer, mascara, blush, and lip gloss. It helps you look glowy and pretty without being too much.

It's completely up to you, if you have fuller lashes you can wear clear mascara as it will give you a more natural look, but on nights out you can wear black mascara. Try both to see what you think looks best on you.

Yes, first have a good skincare routine before doing your makeup. That's making sure you wash your face every morning and night and taking off your makeup completely at the end of the day. In the morning, wash your face with a cleanser, apply moisturizer, and then sunscreen so your makeup sits better and doesn't look caked on. At the end of the day, take off your makeup with a cleansing oil/balm, use a cleanser and apply moisturizer.

Yes. Some tinted lip balms come with a little shimmer or sparkle, but others do not.

If your lips are full, go with a balm instead. Even if you don't have full lips, only wear red lipstick on days when you have a special occasion. As to colorful eyeliner, it's cool, but only wear it to, say, a sports game with the team's colors and not to school or to your relative's house. If you're known for being wild, then you could wear things like that to a sleepover as well, but it's just not as appropriate in other situations.

When you have fair/light skin, your best blush shades are soft pink, light coral, and peach. For those with light skin tones and cool or pink undertones, wear the soft pink shades for a natural look and the peach/coral shades for an extra pop of color. In general, less is more!

Neutral shades of eye shadow will complement your skin tone. Some good colors are cinnamon or pumpkin colored shades. For concealer any kind will do, just try to match your skin tone to the color nicely. Black or brown mascara is great for you. For blush, peach or darker shades will work. For moisturizer the N.7 dual action tinted moisturizer with SPF is a good choice, its cheap but it works well. For lips, try a clear gloss. A lightly tinted lip balm will suit your skin as well.

If it has chemicals that are bad for you it can be bad for your lips, but generally it is actually good for your lips. Make sure that you check all of the ingredients beforehand (including dyes) to make sure it is safe.

Browns, golds, and beige are good eyeshadow colors for a 13-year-old.

Just tell them exactly that: "I felt left out the other day when you all went to the mall but didn't invite me. It makes me feel insecure about our friendship when I'm not included." As long as you're calm and polite, I'm sure they'll take your feelings into account.

I Heart Revolution does amazing and is cheap.
