how can i wear pretty makeup to school and not make it look too heavy?

Answer 1

Hey! This might sound like a lot, but it's really not! It only takes like 5 minutes to do so you won't be spending a ton of time on it, and it looks really good! Apply your foundation to even out your skin tone, apply your blush on the apples of your cheeks (go with a neutral color, I think Covergirl actually makes one in a black case thats called natural or something). Apply a sand (that's a shimmery white) color eyeshadow to your brow bone, the inner corner of your eye, and the top of your cheekbone. Apply your eyeliner (top & bottom...go with a thin line close to your lash line so it doesn't appear heavy), curl your lashes and then do your mascara, apply some lip gloss and you're done! Practice the night before or something just to make sure you have the hang of it, but like I said, it's really easy. Hope this helps out! Let me know!

The worst thing you can do is pile on a bunch of makeup.
Just apply a pretty eyeshadow,not too dark.Browns,pinks,and light oranges are usually very pretty and light enough.
If you're going to use mascara use a light brown one,or a light black.
Same with the eyeliner.Make sure it's not black-it looks too dark and horrid.I prefer a light purple because it's not too dark.
If your going to use coverup then just use a small dab.
And last use a shade of lipstick that blends with you.Perhaps a darker pink,almost red.

I'm assuming you are in your highschool years. Therefore, you are most likely suffering from oily skin which will in turn cake and look heavy. Exfoliating is crucial in making sure your makeup is not heavy. I suggest St. Ives Apricot scrub, get the one that best suits your skin type (oily, dry, sensitive). I have oily skin, that is pretty normal, and I use Apricot scrub I use the invigorating one. Next, I recommend using Lancome's Aqua Fusion Teinte. Its a great choice because you can find a tint that best suits you, (there are four tints to choose from), it moisturizes without clogging your pores and making your skin oily, and has SPF 20, which is very important. I also recommend a matching powder (like Dual Finish) to set the tinted moisturizer and prevent excess oils. As for eye color, find colors that are pleasing to you, and match your skin tone, hair, and eye color. (For example, if you are blonde haired, and blue eyed, dont be afraid of golds, pinks, greens, cream colors, etc...). For green eyes, use golds, browns, pinks, and believe it or not, subtle blues. If you are dark skinned, you are lucky, because any color will look fabulous on you. Don't over do one color, try blending a darker color in the outside corners of your eyes to create a dramatic, but pretty effect. Also, liquid eye shadows are the best for your dollar. They last a long time, and you can add colors on top of them, plus, the better ones don't crease! Have fun, explore....don't be afraid to play with your makeup. There's nothing better to do on a rainy day!!!

For one, you don't want a collection of make up and truly short outfits to look solid. That merely makes you look....properly, like a ho, which isn't solid, and also you actually do not desire that, fantastically being round all new human beings. attempt wearing ordinary, ordinary make up, with slightly of powder or tinted moisturizer and per chance some mascara and blush. it truly is what I do, and it seems completely organic. Then, you could both in reality straighten your hair slightly, or in reality curl it slightly so as that, back, it would not unavoidably look like you've achieved it up too a lot. in college, searching organic is continually more advantageous acceptable. And undergo in ideas, searching solid is likewise depending on what you position on, yet that would not advise you should exhibit off each little thing. Having a efficient pair of denims (or any pants) and a properly setting up suitable of any style is truly solid.

Answer 5

First of all, it is good that you want to go natural and not heavy because if you are in school, you are obviously pretty young.

Foundation: Bare Minerals or Tinted Moisturizer. If u cant afford Bare Minerals, there are many brands similar but cheaper.

Lips: Use a light pink or clear gloss.

Eyes: Stick to neutral tones, use clear or one coat of brown/black mascara. Skip eyeliner unless u use it lightly. Use brown.

Cheeks: A light dusting of pale peach blush or a light sweep of bronzer.

Answer 6

There are many natural looking make up products. the best for me has been Cover Girl, the trick is to use a moisturizer under the make up, i use Oil of Olay, then put on the make up sparingly, make sure it matches as close to your own skin tone as you can get. Don't forget to do part of your neck too and blend it in, or you will look like you are wearing a mask.

Answer 7

Instead of using foundation you can try applying tinted moisturizer. You can get this from Neutrogena. It provides just the right amount of coverage during the day. Also, stick to earthy tones like brown, tan etc.. for your eye make up and just apply a bit of eye liner. And of course don't put too much makeup on. :-)

Answer 8

Wear a light shimmer, and put a dark brown shadow on your crease...smudge it in...this will give your eyes a really pretty effect...and if it starts to come off during school...reaply when you have the chance...if u dont think thts too heavy put a liner on...but not black or too dark...

Answer 9

The key to great make up is to make it look natural. I have found using very little enhances what god gave you and just makes you glow. Heavy make up looks phony on every one and has to be touched up all day long. I go natural most all the time and when I do use any make up its light and barely colored (eye shadow and lipstick) a little blush just makes you look sun kissed. Try keeping it light you won't be sorry. Good luck!

Answer 10

Don't use eye shadow. Don't use too much concealer. Or powder on your face , it makes you look fake. Perfect school makeup is eyeliner applied top and bottom and mascara, and a very light amount of concealer or powder.
