Teenagerhood can be a troublesome time, filled with raging hormones and excessive peer pressure. Your skin may not always act the way you want it to, and your emotions may be running rampant! Ditch the bad attitude and make the best of what you do have. Don't stress over zits or facial imperfections just yet! Your skin will keep changing as time rolls on. What you see now is not the way things will always be! So deal!

Just because your BFF may not like to use makeup, doesn’t mean you can’t wear it! (With mom’s permission of course!) Makeup should make you feel good about you, no matter what makeup ideas you choose! Use teen make up tips to help you take better care of your skin while you're experimenting with different makeup colors.

Teen Makeup Tips



  • Get your skin ready for makeup by taking good care of your skin! Your skin is the best weapon you have! Start taking care of it at an early age and you’ll look younger all your life. If you’re eating lots of junk foods, your skin will look down right crappy.

    How you treat your skin and the foods you consume will play a major role in how well your teen make up looks. Use water based moisturizers every day and eat lots of healthy foods like fresh fruits and veggies. Your skin will thank you and your friends will be oh, so jealous! Always allow your facial lotions to completely absorb before you apply makeup.

  • If you’ve got zits, use toners after you wash your face. Skin toners have salicylic acid in them and will help deep clean your pores. Toners also minimize large pores which helps smooth your skin. Use acne spot treatments to treat stubborn pimples.

  • Once you’ve cleaned your face and applied a good facial lotion (with SPF 15 to protect your skin), apply your foundation. Which foundation you choose is entirely up to you. If you’ve got dry skin, use a cream based foundation. If you’re prone to oily skin, choose a liquid foundation. For all skin types, use mineral foundations. The greatest thing about minerals, (besides the fact that they won’t clog pores and cause acne) is that you can apply as much as you like. For minimal coverage, apply a light dusting only. If you’ve got facial discolorations that rock your world, keep applying layers until they're hidden and you’re satisfied.

    Minerals allow you to be your own boss! You’re in total control of your teen make up when you use them!

  • Apply liners, shadows, and mascara. You probably won’t need all three when you’re first starting out however. A good rule of thumb is to start with mascara, then graduate to shadows and liners. Try black mascara first, then try other colors through time. Blue mascara looks great with every eye color, as does green mascara. Other mascara colors are available though, like purple and even pink! If you’ve got really great long, dark lashes, you may want to use clear mascara to help define what you’ve already got!

    teen make up imageIf you’d rather start out with shadows, you’ll have a larger selection of colors to choose from. Light applications of smokey shadows are a great place to start.

    Or opt for bold colors of blue, purple, green, or pink, outlined by softer shades, but it really all depends on your mood.

    Brown colors are always a safe color choice for teen make up but stay away from yellow shadow colors. They can make your complexion look pasty and sallow.

    teen make up imageIf you’re a liner lady, use slim or slightly thicker lines of pencil liners to help define your eyes. White liners are a perfect way to perk up your eyes. Use them on the rims of your eyes. Add a fine line of black liner along top lash lines and smudge them out slightly. Or opt for shimmery blue or green liner colors. Leave the liquid liners for later though. You can look disastrous if you make one wrong move, plus they wear off faster than pencil liners.

    Of course, if you want to dare to be different, trying all three isn’t a makeup mistake. Teen make up will look more natural if you apply lighter makeup, but there aren’t any teen laws that say you can’t go rad and use them all! Do what you feel like! If friends bash you for doing it, they're probably just jealous their mom isn't as hip and cool as yours!

  • Your lips are last but not least! Using lip glosses are perfect at your age. There are tinted glosses that can add a sparkle of color and help lips look naturally beautiful. Clear lip glosses are great for every day teen make up wear!

    You can also opt for shimmering lipsticks or creamy lipsticks in lighter colors. Pink lipsticks are the perfect color choice for teen make up. Nude lip colors are also a wise color selection at your age. Nude colors look totally natural so no one will notice anything except for your naturally beautiful lips!

    More Teen Make Up Tips



  • If you're having a hard time deciding which makeup colors look best on you, you'll need to know your makeup color season.
  • Practice makes perfect. Don't try and learn it all in one day! Have fun experimenting and don't be afraid to start over completely if you make mistakes!
  • If you participate in school sports, don't wear makeup for practices.
  • Use makeup concealers to hide imperfections before you apply your foundation. If you apply them after foundations, apply a little more foundation over them to blend them into your skin. Warm concealers up in your fingertips beforehand for easier application.
  • Opt for a bright shadows with nude lips or apply darker lipsticks with minimal eye makeup.
  • If you're a cheerleader, use waterproof mascara.
  • When you have a clear complexion, you'll require very little makeup foundation.
  • Start out with subtle makeup. Your makeup should appear natural and youthful the first few times you wear it.
  • Always blend, blend, blend! Makeup brushes will be your new BFF! Your teen make up will always look soft and natural.
  • Natural eye shadow colors are beige, champagne, soft pink, subdued peach, or soft shades of purple.
  • If you like a sun kissed glow, use a soft bronzer instead of blush.
  • Instead of using liners, use eye shadows to line your eyes.
  • Use tinted moisturizers if you have a good complexion.
  • Shape your eyebrows if they're unruly or if you have a unibrow.
  • If you have fair to medium toned skin, use a sunless tanning lotion for a great tanned face.
  • Shimmer makeup is great for a soft, natural look.
  • Teenagers may use a brow pencil to lightly fill in any gaps in their eyebrows, but brush them out after you apply it.
  • If you apply blush, make sure you blend it out completely with a large makeup brush.
  • Experiment with different brands of cosmetics to find the brands that suit you best. Starting out with less expensive brands is always a wise choice. Makeup kits and E.L.F. makeup are two great ways to get lots of choices in makeup colors and not have to pay a lot.
  • Ask your friends about the makeup they're using! Your mom can also be a great source for makeup information!
  • Pink makeup is always a safe color choice for tweens or teens. Pink shimmer, pink shadows, pink lipsticks, and pink nail colors always a great color choice. Pink is naturally found in your youthful complexion and adds a soft splash of color where you need it.

    Don't overdo your teen make up but do have a blast putting it on! Over time, your color choices will change and so will your moods. Through the process of elimination, you'll figure out which brands are right for your skin type and your personal style!
