I'm Obsessed With Makeup?

Question

My mom, a few of my friends, and cousins have told me I wear too much makeup and that i really need to tone it down. They tell me that i'm naturally pretty and don't need any make up. Without makeup sometimes i feel ugly but i mean i know i dont look ugly but i just feel uncomfortable. I started wearing it 2 years ago. I'm 15 now. I naturally have a bronzish light brown color. I have a little acne.

ok, so usually i wear:

pink lip liner with chap stick

bronze blush

eyeliner on bottom and sorta like that cat look on the top of my eyelids.

mascara.

powder lighter than my skin color

light sparkle bronzer over my cheeks.

i always put water on my face after so the powder doesn't look "powdery"

MY QUESTION IS WHAT CAN I ELIMINATE TO TONE DONE MY MADE UP FACE??

Answer 1

Okay, its really good that your asking this, because if you continue to wear so much make-up so often, you'll get zits, zits, and more zits. You do wear quite i bit of make-up. I think the things you can eliminate is the powder, and the light sparkle bronzer over your cheeks. because you already have blush, so its like you have 3 coats of make up on((not including lips gloss, and eye make-up)) Its really hard when your in the habbit of using these things, so ask your parents((or sibilings)) to hide the make up you don't need, so you won't temp your self.

Hope I helped :)

Answer 2

well, im a little late but ill still put in my two cents!! ok, this may get confusing but im going to walk you through what i think you should do:
♥buy a liquid foundation that is proper for your skin tone and sponges
♥wet the sponge and dry it out ((dont eliminate all of the water but dont have it sobbing wet!)) and put the foundation on the sponge
♥Dab the sponge under your eyes so it doesn't look darker or lighter depending on what it is normally like- eye area is usually always a different tone depending on lighting and all of these things-make sure you blend it in nicely but DONT RUB UNDER YOUR EYES! oh, only do it where your cheek starts to go back ((in the "caved" part))
♥Of course, cover the rest of your face
♥I personally dont do blush, usually just a pinch of the cheeks will give it that flow!
♥put on a sheer pale gloss,ex. clear..., or chap stick
♥mascara but dont over do it
♥and eye liner on the bottom applied with a q-tip, water, and black eyeshadow... (( get the q-tip wet, rub it on black eyeshadow, and use it as eyeliner but again dont over do it))
as for the top, the cat eye is not so much of a everyday thing, just from the middle out, and stop at the end of your lashes, thats a classy look, ((if you must or prefer going all the way across your top eyelid- you can just remember STOP AT THE END OF THE LID!!

hope I was of some sort of help!!

Answer 3

If you feel you need to tone it down. Start slowly. I guess the essentials would be mascara, blush and lip liner + chap stick. Also It might be a good idea to invest in some sort of acne care products if you are concerned about your acne. A clearer face will give you the option of wearing less makeup and help you to feel more comfortable.

Answer 4

Get rid of the lip liner if you dont use anything but chap stick
cat eye look save that for special events
one of the bronzers

You'll be good to go

Answer 5

Maybe you are putting your makeup on to thick-to much. Try using less. You could also not use so much bronze color. Save the sparkle bronzer for going out at night with friends. Less is more for daytime and go a little heavier and bolder color for night.
Hope this helps!!!
Good luck!!

Answer 6

ok just wear something like:

lip gloss or chap stick

eyeliner (black usually looks nice if it looks like too much to them maybe use like dark grey or something tahts what my friend does)

mascara

so no blush or powder or sparkle, no lipliner...yeah. oh and dont go crazy with the eyeliner put on a thin line on the bottom and a thinnish line at the top. :D

Answer 7

ikes! you are wearing way to much make-up, and not because you are 15. Get rid of the powder and one of the bronzers. Save the 'cat' eye look for evenings or special occasions.

Answer 8

Cat eyes? Meow! Sorry, I'm kidding, I LOVE felines; they are my fave.

But seriously, if a person looks too made up, it's because, usually, improper application. Try to apply in as bright light as possible for better visibility.

Answer 9

to me, you don't look like you wear too much. but then i think your family are referring that it's too much for your age.

i'd cut the pink lip liner, too intense since you're using mostly bronze color. go for clear lip gloss or brown lip gloss.

since you're using bronze blush, i'd cut the bronzer...that's too much too.

oh and try eyeliner on top, none on the bottom. mascara on top lid, none on the bottom. see if that would make it look a bit minimal. thick eyeliner on the bottom is a bit on the gothic side (i told this one girl that wore thick eyliner on her bottom eyes that she looked like someone punched her eyes out!)

Answer 10

Just go easy on the application and maybe don't do the cat eyes on top. It really doesn't sound like you wear that much to me.
