Question

Is Vaseline good for lips?

Community Answer

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.

Question

How do I make my face look all one color if I don’t want to use a ton of product?

Community Answer

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.

Question

When is an appropriate age to wear false lashes (not to school, but at home, and for taking pictures)?

Zyla

Community Answer

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).

Question

Is it possible to use clear mascara instead of black mascara? Or would black mascara look better?

Shenoa Teng

Community Answer

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.

Question

Should I put on a moisturizer before putting on makeup? And before that should I wash my face? And are there any good makeup brands that i can afford with my allowance?

Shenoa Teng

Community Answer

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.

Question

Can I use bright red lipstick as a 13 year old? I'm also partial to colorful eyeliner-is that ok?

Dorothy Paddison

Community Answer

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.

Question

If I have pale skin, what blush should I use?

Community Answer

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!

Question

What kind of makeup and moisturizer should I use if I have caramel colored skin?

Community Answer

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.

Question

Is lip gloss bad for your lips?

Sasha Haley

Community Answer

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.

Question

How do I let a friend know they are leaving me out?

Community Answer

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.
