Help with makeup!!!!?

Question

I am 12 years old, and I have a Mediterranean background. I have dark chocolate brown hair, big dark brown eyes w/long lashes, and my skin tone is olive, but it does have some peachy undertones to it. I am going to a wedding on June 9, and I have no idea what to wear for makeup!!! Thanks!

Answer 1

I think that greens, golds, and lavender are very pretty with brown eyes. I have similar features (medium skin, dark brown hair and eyes) and I tend to wear a lot of golds, greens, and browns. My advice is keep it subtle and keep it natural: a few sweeps of gold on your lids and a little mascara, a sweep of blush on the apples of your cheeks, and some lip gloss is probably all you need at your age. : )

I'd highly recommend purchasing the book "Bobby Brown: Teenage Beauty." I used this book for my makeup/skin advice when I was your age. (I'm 20 now, so don't worry, it's not outdated! lol)

The book can be purchased here:

(I purchased it years ago, so I don't know if they are still sold in the bookstores, but you can check online.)

Answer 2

You are only 12 so you honestly don't need much makeup. However, if you want to wear a little try some dark brown eyeliner underneath your eyes and some black mascara to make your pretty eyelashes stick out. Then try a bit of a rosy blush and you are good to go.

Answer 3

I always say it is better to go natural. if you have peachy undertones, find a nice peachy tone that you like that makes you look sun-kissed. Use it one your eyes with a sheer golden shimmer over it. Use it on the apples of your cheeks, and then put it on your lips with a sheer nude gloss over the top. This will create such a fresh look that others won't even know that you are wearing make-up. You will look radiant!

Answer 4

You probably want to wear a bit of color for the photos & to feel dressed up.

You can curl your lashes and wear clear mascara, with a touch of blush & a dab of sheer lipstick.

First, you need to determine your skin tone and choose either warm or cool colors to flatter your complexion. Here's how to determine your skin tone:

Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.

Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.

Ask a friend or relative to help you pick out the blush and lipstick at a local drugstore or go w/ you to a dept. store.
