Make Up Tips for Teens

The perfect look for a teenager is a neutral and natural makeup. For most of the teenage girls a light foundation, black or brown mascara and a little bit of a blush should be enough. Teens should never apply too heavy makeup, tons of foundation or face powder because their skin is still young and fresh-looking. Soft and matte colors will suit every teenager. Unfortunately many teenage girls apply too much makeup in order to make them look older (red lipstick too much blush, too much eye makeup) and the result isn’t very pleasant.
If you are over 30 you may apply makeup to accentuate your best features and to hide the first signs of aging, but if you are a teenager you should use makeup simply to enhance your natural beauty.

Another mistake that many teenagers make is that they apply too much concealer, foundation and powder to hide pimples, scars, blackheads or large pores.  Actually doing so is a huge, huge mistake. This way you make your face look unnatural and like a mask and it can also lead to more serious skin problems like acne, more clogged pores (blackheads), whiteheads,  discolorations and rashes. Remember: applying the appropriate amount of any makeup product is the first step to a flawless makeup.

The first and the most important thing for a flawless teens’ makeup is to keep your skin cleansed, toned and moisturized everyday. Wash your face every day with a gentle facial cleanser both in the morning and in the evening. Choose a product that is appropriate for your skin type and for the needs of your skin. If you have acne-prone skin, look for products containing alpha hydroxyl, benzoyl peroxide. Using and applying a facial toner is a must even if your skin is dry or sensitive. The toners are designed to remove surface oils and any dirt residue that your cleanser may have missed. They nourish the skin and whisk away impurities that usually lead to breakouts and blemishes.
