To step

Part 1 of 3: Prepare your face

1. Consult a makeup expert. It can be difficult to find makeup that matches your face, hair, eyes and skin tone perfectly. Before buying makeup, visit a makeup expert. They can teach you how to apply make-up, explain which colors look good on you and answer general questions. You can find makeup experts at department stores, makeup stores, and beauticians.
2. Wash your face. Puberty is the perfect time to start a good skincare routine. This is the time when you have the most pimples. Taking good care of your skin can reduce blemishes or acne. Skin care is also essential if you are going to make up. Always wash your face before putting on makeup.
   • Determine what skin type you have. Do you have oily, dry or combination skin? This will determine what kind of cleaning agent you should use.
   • If you have dry skin, use a mild cleanser. A cleansing cream is good for dry skin.
   • If you have oily skin, try a cleanser with salicylic acid or another acne-fighting ingredient.
3. Apply moisturizer. After you wash your face, put on a light moisturizer. This moisturizes your face and prepares the skin for makeup. Moisturizer is important to prevent skin aging.
   • Girls with dry skin can use a slightly greasier moisturizer, such as a glycerine product. Girls with oily skin should opt for a light, oil-free moisturizer.Rice protein moisturizers absorb excess fat.
   • Also, make sure to use sunscreen every day. The sun is one of your skin's worst enemies. Sunburn can lead to wrinkles, damaged skin and even skin cancer. After applying moisturizer, apply a sunscreen cream to your face. Or try a tinted moisturizer with a SPF and you kill two birds with one stone!
4. Bring concealer On. Concealer is your best friend when it comes to blemishes or blemishes. With concealer you can camouflage dark bags and spots on your face. Choose a concealer that matches your skin tone. Dab some concealer on the red spots; make sure you don't wipe it out. Then the concealer comes off. Blur the edges with your finger. Sweep some loose powder over the concealer with a brush to help it stay in place.
   • Make sure the powder you use to hold the concealer in place is a shade lighter than your skin. When it is on the concealer it is darker.
   • Do not choose a concealer that is too white, pink, or gray. Try to approximate your own skin tone as closely as possible.
   • Concealer can also be used under your eyes if you have dark circles. Use a yellowish concealer to lighten the dark circles under your eyes.
5. Consider skipping foundation. Foundation is used to even out the skin tone. Teens don't need foundation yet; at this age you already have a beautiful, even skin. Most makeup experts recommend not using too much foundation as a teenager. Concealer is probably all you need at this age. Foundation can be too heavy, making it look like you have a dirty thick layer on your face that makes you look much older. You want to look natural and emphasize your natural beauty.
   • If you have oily skin and want to use foundation, go for an oil-free foundation with therapeutic properties for oily skin. You can find this at the drugstore, but you can also have the doctor prescribe a medical foundation.
   • If you do want to use foundation, keep it light and natural. The foundation should match the skin tone of your neck.
   • Squeeze a tiny amount of foundation into the palm of your hand. Use a foundation brush to spread the foundation all over your face in a star shape, starting from your nose. Draw a line from your nose to your forehead, then from your nose to your left and right cheek, from your nose to your left and right jaw, and from your nose to your chin. Then use a sponge to spread the foundation. Finally, take the brush to spread the rest of the foundation onto your neck.
   • Foundation brushes are larger than powder or concealer brushes. You can buy foundation brushes and sponges at the drugstore.
6. Use powder if you have oily skin. Like foundation, powder is not necessarily necessary for young skin. It covers your natural glow. In addition to using powder to apply concealer on blemishes and blemishes, you can apply some to your T-zone - your forehead, nose, and chin. These are the places where your skin can sometimes be oily. Apply some powder with a foundation or powder brush to your T-zone. Then excess fat is absorbed, but you don't hide your natural glow.
   • Never use the same brush for different make-up. If you've already used your foundation brush for foundation, don't spread powder over your face with it. Always use separate brushes.
7. Stick to the five-minute rule. If you stick to that rule, you will have plenty of time to apply your makeup without overdoing it. Give yourself five minutes each morning to apply your makeup. Do not hurry; limit yourself to what is essential: concealer, mascara, blush and lip gloss. If it takes longer than five minutes to apply your makeup, chances are you are using too much.
   • Embrace your natural beauty. Remember that makeup is meant to enhance your own beauty, not hide your face. Don't think you have to apply a thick layer of foundation or powder to be beautiful. That may be the case as you get older, but now try to enjoy your natural, glowing skin.

Part 2 of 3: Apply makeup to your eyes, lips and cheeks

1. Bring eyeliner On. You use eyeliner on your eyelids to make your eyes stand out. You can choose to use a little bit of eyeliner. Don't use too much - you'll soon look like a raccoon. Choose brown or light gray, or maybe purple. Save black for special occasions on the weekends, when going to a party.
   • Apply the eyeliner along your lash line and blend with a cotton swab. Try to draw the line as close to your lash line as possible.
   • Black eyeliner does not suit everyone. It can make your eyes appear smaller. The smaller your eyes, the lighter the line should be.
2. Bring eye shadow On. Choose natural, shimmery daytime eyeshadow. Apply the eyeshadow to your lower eyelid with a small brush. Don't smear it all the way to your eyebrows.
   • If you have brown eyes, choose warm colors such as copper and gold. If you have green eyes, try gray or purple eyeshadow.
   • You can also go wild with crazy colors like blue. Keep in mind that these are not everyday colors, but more something for a party.
3. Put some blush on your cheeks. Keep it natural when you apply blush. Your cheeks should only get a little bit of color. Never put on very dark blush. Rather stick to bronze or pink.
   • To apply the blush you have to smile to find the apples of your cheeks (the round part). Put a little bit of blush on the apples, then on your nose, forehead and chin.
4. Apply a little lip gloss. Lip gloss gives your lips a natural color and shine. If you want a little more color, go for lipstick. Choose pink or skin color. Avoid dark colors; they make your face harder and older.

Part 3 of 3: Remove makeup

1. Get your makeup off in the evening. Never go to sleep with makeup on your face. This gives you pimples, rashes and your skin ages faster. Buy an oil-free makeup remover to take all makeup off at night. Dip a cotton ball in the remover and wipe your face with it to get it all off.
   • Make-up remover is very important to prevent clogged pores and rashes. It is specially made to remove makeup, while a regular facial cleanser is not. Always use makeup remover before washing your face. Use one product specifically for face makeup and then another eye makeup product to remove the mascara and eyeliner.
2. Wash your face and apply moisturizer. After your makeup has been removed, wash your face with a facial cleanser. It removes dirt, grease and impurities that have accumulated on your face during the day. You can use the same cleanser as in the morning. Then apply moisturizer to your face to moisturize your skin.
   • Don't wash your face more than twice a day. If you wash your skin too often, you can get pimples and destroy vital skin cells.
3. Exfoliate your face twice a week. Makeup can cause clogged pores, even if you wash your face regularly. Buy a benzoyl peroxide exfoliating cream to get rid of any residual impurities that can cause acne or blemishes.

Tips

• Always take your make-up off in the evening, otherwise it is bad for your skin.
• Don't rush when you put on makeup, or put on too much because you think it will make you more beautiful.
• Try experimenting with new types of eyeliner, lip gloss and eyeshadow. Remember that makeup isn't mandatory, it's a way to express your style or boost your confidence.
• When applying concealer, blend the edges by dabbing gently.
• First, run your mascara brush under a hot tap to remove old lumps.
• Research the makeup you want to buy as good quality makeup lasts longer and is better for your skin. Natural / vegan makeup is good if you have sensitive skin.
• Use light, natural colors for your lipstick and you'll look neat and cute.
• Light, shimmery eyeshadow is perfect for beginners.
• If you're just starting out with makeup, keep it simple. Only use mascara, lipstick and eyeshadow. Then you look more natural. Remember that makeup should emphasize your natural beauty, not hide it.
• BB cream is good if you don't want to use a thick layer of foundation.

Warnings

• Do not put lipstick or lip gloss on damaged / chapped lips. A little lip balm restores your lips.
• Never apply eye makeup while in a moving car.
• Avoid getting makeup in your eyes, especially if you wear contact lenses.
• If you've never used makeup before, start with one kind at a time so you don't overdo it.
