#1 makeup rule: You should choose either eyes OR lips.
If you use eyeliner or makeup that stands out on your eyes you should use subtle lipstick or gloss. If you want to use a lipstick that stands out, use subtle eye makeup.

At your age you are probably gorgeous and don't need much makeup, if I were you, I would just use mascara and a subtle lip stick or gloss. Many women want to look the way someone your age naturally does - so at your age, less is more - seriously - and I'm not someone's mom or anything, I'm in my 20's.

But, if you want tips on eyeliner:
If applying eyeliner to the top lid, place your index finger on the outside corner and gently pull it (while it's closed) to the side. Apply the eyeliner in one smooth stroke from the inside edge outwards. If you gently hold the lid while applying the eyeliner the lid will lay flat and you will get a smooth line. Also, apply the eyeliner as close to the lashes as possible. If you are using an eye liner pencil, make sure it is sharpened using a sharpener for eye makeup only- do not use a sharpener that's been used on pencils. When applying eyeliner to the bottom lid, you will not need to hold the lid. Draw a line on the inside edge of the eyelid as close to the eyelashes as possible- almost on top of the lashes- be very careful not to get it in your eye. You can use eyeliner on the bottom, top or both lids of your eyes. You should use a shade that flatters your coloring (probably dark grey or dark brown).

Hey
I think the most important thing to remember is to focus on one part of your face, whichever is best (eyes or whatever).
I find that using a foundation that matches your face, followed with a bronzer helps to make your eyes look nicer, and your teeth look whiter. I use cheaper eyeliner, and I stick with the brown pencil type, then you don't look too harsh.
You should try going to a store like MAC, they have the best stuff.

Answer 4

Just use short strokes to apply the eyeliner just under your lower lashes, you can also apply eyeliner just above your upper lash line. I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I was 16! Just don't go overboard with makeup.

Answer 5

dear tween,I have done countless makeovers on eyeliner addicted folks, the best advice is to line with pencil only from middle to corner,as that will enhance the eye without looking like a raccoon!!Nighttime ,you can add more drama but keep it simple.

Answer 8

Kevyn Aucoin (an excellent, now-deceased) make-up artist wrote several wonderful books on cosmetics application. I have one, ("Making Faces" http://www.kevynaucoin.com/books/?books )and I've used it from the time I was 13.

It gives excellent tips on how to achieve multiple styles of make-up and the different applications of eyeliner and mascara. It also goes into the various types and color palettes of make-up he uses. It was incredibly informative and it will always be in my book collection.

Answer 11

Apply to eyelash line... and its easier if you use a wooded pencil.... get it nice and sharp.. then run a lighter across the tip really fast.. it will soften it! This makes it easier to apply and if goes on soo much smoother
