12 years old . . . make-up help?

Question

I am just starting to wear make-up. I have pale skin, blonde hair, and green eyes. I want to keep my make-up looking very natural, so I wouldn't wear any foundation or lipstick or anything. I just wanted some tips on what colors to wear and how much. Would eye liner be too much? What about blush? Thanks . . .

Please don't tell me I'm too young . . . I just want to enhance my features. And my mom is fine with it.

My skin isn't perfect. I have a little acne, and it's not that beautiful.

Answer 1

I started wearing makeup when I was 12 too!

If you are worried about blemishes, buy some concealor (I like L'Oreal True Match Concealor) and wash your hands before dabbing some on the blemish with your fingertips, then blend.

I think that eyeliner looks good on everyone, but never wear more makeup than you have time to apply. If you want it to be subtle, use dark brown eyeliner and line INSIDE your lashline. Only line on the upper eyelid.

If you want to wear eyeshadow, go for a shimmery taupe. However, eyeshadow takes up time and I feel that it does not enhance anything that much. If you are in a hurry, skip it.

I also think that mascara looks good on everyone. My favorite mascara is Cover Girl's Lash Exact Mascara. Be sure to roll the brush as you apply it in order to remove clumps.

You can wear a little blush if you want to. Go for tan, rather than pink colors, as pink blush is usually bright and therefore noticeable. However, I think that blush is unnecessary on most teens.

I have loved lipgloss since I was 10. I like clear shades best, but find your own favorite!

I hope I helped!

Answer 2

You are wise to skip the foundation. 12 year old skin is gorgeous! I think eye-liner on a 12 year old looks trashy. If you really want to wear make-up to enhance your beauty instead of mask it, I suggest a purple shadow around the upper and lower lashes. Not 'Pastel Purple'! More like a dark purple, spread on LIGHTLY and THINLY around the eyes. If you wear eye shadow, skip the lipstick for clear gloss. You can wear some very neutral, light blush. If you DON'T wear eyeshadow, wear a pink-y blush on the apple of your cheek (the ball part under your eyes when you smile) and some lipgloss with tint. I love Bonne Belle Dr. Pepper lip balm. But put a little color on your lips too. Keep it natural right now! You'll NEED make-up soon enough.

Answer 3

If you feel ready then go for it. Just dont go over board. By the sound of your colouring you should stick to cool shades... a pale pink lip gloss will prob look great. A bit of blush adds colour to the face, but when it comes to blush less really is more... with pale skin blush will stand out. Brown (not black!) mascara looks best with blonde hair. Try cool pastel eyeshadows or natural browns. Eyeliner would definately be too much. Same with bronzer

Answer 4

I started wearing make-up when I was 12, I think there is nothing wrong with your age. You said you wanted to look natural and thats all that matters =].

The best colors to wear with green eyes are purples and dark browns. Lilac is the best color! It totally brings out the green and doesn't tone down you blonde hair. A cherry wood brown would be the perfect brown for you.

How to put it on:
Apply the lilac all over your eye-lid. Make sure the lilac is noticeable. Next, take the brown and rub it in at the very bottom of your eye-lid, like right at the lash line. Make this almost dark. Fade the two colors together. This will look awesome! =]

Cheeks are easy, simply buy some cheap pink-ish brown blush and brush it on. =]

With the lips, just put on some pale pink and gloss.

Wa-La--your Gawjess!! =]

Hope I helped.

Answer 5

I would use a little concealer on your acne to give you the look of 'perfect' skin. I also might use a sheer dusting of powder over your entire face to set the concealer and give you an even finish. I agree with the others that brown is a good color and will look natural. I would use a brown eyeshadow AS a liner. It will give a soft focus look to your eyes without looking made up and you can just line above your upper lashes if you want. Use one coat of mascara, a light dusting of pink blush just on the apples of your cheeks, lip gloss and your ready to go. :)

Answer 6

A good skin care plan will help with the acne, especially now that you are starting to wear makeup. Wash and moisturize twice a day.

Try brown mascara, peachy colored lipgloss and peach blush.

Answer 7

a million. its unlawful and disgusting!!! It speaks incredibly badly correct to the 22 that they might't get somebody their very own age that they might relate with a 12 baby. you're nonetheless a baby at 12!!! 2. i'm able to comprehend how a youthful lady may be interested in an older guy yet returned the guy shouldn't experience the comparable. Its so incorrect!!! might you the 12 365 days previous date somebody that's 2??? Its the comparable factor!!

Answer 8

Don't let your age be a big deal. I started wearing make up some time in about 6th grade (when I was only 11). I remember starting out with just lipgloss and some mascara. My favorite lipgloss was bonne bell or shinylicious by maybelline (i think). I wore mascara called Great Lash and it works really well for a cheap mascara that you can get practically anywhere. Your green eyes will pop with darker colors for night and lighter colors for day. I recommend waiting to use foundation or too much eye makeup because eye liner and eye shadow can end up giving you wrinkles quicker. Hope this helps! =]

Answer 9

try a light pink blush

after that you can try some clear mascara (great lash at any shoppers drug mart)

and then use the mascara on your eyebrows just where they need tidying

use some peachy lip gloss

and some silvery or whiteish eyeshadow

you'll look natural but beautiful (not that you already aren't)

take advantage of being so young with makeup, just make sure it's not overwhelming (twelve year old drag queens are not attractive =p)

Answer 10

okay so the three basic things that a girl your age needs in her makeup kit are: mascara, lipgloss, and white eyeshadow. if you're going for natural - which is what you are - get a brown-black mascara (i suggest Almay) and apply two coats on the top lashes and one coat on the bottom (but don't put a lot on, a tiny tiny bit goes a long way), apply the white eyeshadow underneath your eyebrow on the brow bone, instant eyelift - but it's subtle and very natural looking. and then lipgloss, something clear with some sparkles and you're ready to go.....if you want something a little extra, put a little blush on - i think that you could wait a few years for eyeliner - it makes you look way older, so i don't suggest it for someone your age....have fun!!!
