How to Get a Casual Look for School or Any Time (for Teens)
As a teen makeup addicts,the authors have tried many different looks, but no one beats this one! This look uses makeup brands you can find at a pharmacy or chemist.
[edit] Steps
- Skincare
- Using warm water, start with a moisturizing bar soap. If a face towel is accessible, use it by rubbing the bar several times into the cloth, then massaging it into your face. Dove bar soap is recommended- especially the white one.
- In the morning it is good to start off with a clear smooth face. Use a scrub and gently massage this into your face, using circular motions. If you have acne, look for one with salicylic acid. St. Ives apricot scrub is highly recommended for this( but any one will work!).
- As a teen you do probably have a bit of acne(like dozens of other teenagers!). Use a cleanser that has acne medication and rinse with cool water (to close pores)Many like Nozema or Neutrogena
- You know whats great to try?Pads - for your face!Swipe one on and allow it to dry. Try Oxy pads!
- Then smooth on a lightweight moisturizer (perferably one with SPF's) and the skincare is finally over!
- Makeup
- Start with a liquid concealer. With it's own brush, tap it onto any redness, and smooth some under (and over!) eyelids - top and bottom lids.
- With your ring finder, blend it in.
- If you have oily skin dust a translucent powder with a large powder brush.
- Blush rocks - preferably pink on teens. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks
- Also, bronzer works really well as a type of blusher, just aply as if it were blusher
- You got to love golden eyeshadow as well,the author found the perfect one if you look below. Apply it to your whole lid with a eyeshadow brush, then using the sponge one it comes with, use the tip and dust it on your lower lashes.
- #Curl lashes(hold the lashes for about 15 seconds).
- Apply mascara - always black unless blonde/red headed with really fair skin-then try clear or brown.
- Your favorite lipgloss
