I'm in high school and I wear makeup... HELP?

Question

I have tan skin, light eyes, and dark hair...
Everyday, this is what I usually wear (same order):
Foundation: L'oreal True Match
Powder: L'oreal True Match
Blush: L'oreal True Match
Eyeshadow: L'oreal eyeshadow that matches my skintone but gives a healthy glow.
Eyeliner: Black L'oreal Lineur Intense, thick on top but thin on the bottom
Mascara: L'oreal Volume Shocking Mascara- Best in the world! (I curl my lashes first)
Lipliner: Plum or Brown L'oreal Colour Riche
Gloss: Clear or a light brown or pink

I started wearing makeup at 10... just lipgloss. Right now is there anything I am doing wrong??

Answer 1

I think I'd go easy on the foundation and powder. Since you're tanned, why not just use a tinted face protector? Clinique makes a great one called City Block which has SPF and comes in a few shades. Powder isn't necessary unless you feel you have some trouble with the foundation staying on.

Blush needs to be put on only in those areas of the face where you'd naturally get some rosiness from the sun. Don't do the "clown cheeks" application...that is so fake and cheesy!!

The key to a great made-up look is the application technique. You don't want people noticing the make up so much as just noticing you and how pretty you are!! Eyeliner that's pencil instead of liquid looks more natural. Also, I'd do without the lipliner.

Sounds like a very time consuming routine that could be pared down for simplicity and naturalness.

Answer 2

From your description it sounds like what we used to wear in the 1960's!
Try a dark brown mascara and get rid of the thick black eyeliner. An eyeliner pencil in a cocoa or complimentary color would be much better.
Avoid the "painted on" face look. After all you do want people to recognize you if they happen to see you without makeup.

Answer 3

WOW all that just to go to school, you should cut down on the make up, guy don't like girls ware plenty makeup.
If they see you with out makeup, they might run.
Use:a powder for your skintye n complextion,
Eyeshadow, Eyeliner & and a tinted lip gloss.

U can use these 4 items and still get a beautifull effect.

Answer 4

Honestly I don't have a clue! All I wear is gloss and I only do that on special occasions. I have great skin and don't really need makeup but whatever floats your boat. It sounds like you've got everything perfect though!

Answer 5

Well...the brand is fine....maybe not so thick of eyeliner on the top....and try some concealer and then powder instead of foundation(maybe it all depends on your skin condition)...all the colors are right with your hair and skin tone and everything else.
so yeah you are doing fine!

Answer 6

use less so your face looks more natural and you don't get wrinkles so early. get rid of the lip liner i think powder will do the trick without having to use foundation or get rid of the foundation don't think you need the eyeliner. i hope that you at least get rid of some products and wash your face when you go to bed.
Good Luck!!!!

Answer 7

i believe you should stop wearing make up. you can where them for a special occasion but not all the time cause if you do you'll have wrinkles before you're old. Use less make up though! Good luck on that!

Answer 8

Yes. You are using 2 much make up try a little less.

Answer 9

why dont you just wear a lite color make up not to dark nor to lite but in the middle because if you wear to much make up you could get alot of wrinkles when you get older possiblely now.

Answer 10

i say try to stay away from the liquid liner; try smudging on a pencil so it will look a lot softer. and try going without lipliner, you DEFINITELY dont want that to show EVER.
