How to Look Pretty with No Makeup As a Preteen
So maybe preteen ages are a little young for make up. Or maybe just the works! You can look beautiful with low maintenance or no make up especially when you're 11 years old!
[edit] Steps
- Be hygienic. Take a shower once a day, preferably the night because showers can be very time consuming. And wash your hair at least every other day, find moisturizing shampoos and conditioners too if you have dry hair.
- Get a cute haircut. All different lengths you can get. If you decide to get a short haircut don't get a blunt boys cut, if you want to look feminine. Wispy and flipped out or chunky with color. Long hair styles avoid the long hair and grown out bangs. Try a side swept layer look. Ask your hairstylist what would be suitable for you. Nothing difficult to maintain.
- Moisturizing your skin is very important, it has the purpose of keeping your skin soft. Also a good face wash to use every other day would be appropriate.
- If you can wear a small amount of make up wear it on special occasions such as going to a fancy restaurant, or an end of the year dance. Just a small amount of pastel colored eye shadow and some lip gloss, and maybe some mascara will be plenty
- Wear cute clothes. Ditch the grungy jeans and over sized sweater. Pick out a nice top every once in awhile or some fitted jeans. Fitted clothes will make you look better.
- Have at least one cute pair of shoes. Something to dress it all up. Whether it is a boot, a sandal, a wedge, you pick it! But make sure it is appropriate for school.
- When you are 11 years old there are a lot of barriers (things that go wrong). Like braces, glasses, acne, overweight, underweight, flat chest, and what not. Read the following tips on these barriers to feeling your beauty.
- Try a bit of light perfume. Don't put on something too overpowering, though. Nice smelling soap can give of a perfume scent too.
[edit] Tips
- For glasses, pick a stylish plastic black frame. These go with a lot of outfits!Only wear them when you need them! Also sometimes on the inside they are a bold color like lime green or yellow which is funky but stylish.
- Acne, try any option out there from washes, to pills, to creams, whatever works for you. Make sure you look decent and take pride in yourself so the acne isn't the main focus.
- If you are a tad overweight you can still workout. Don't over work the body though because this may lead to quitting all together. Eat healthier foods. If you are really overweight there are weight programs for youth. But if you are not interested in losing weight learn to dress the body. You can't wear super tight jeans that allow your stomach to hang out, and over sized clothing aren't complimentary. Find clothing that fits you!
- When you are 11 & up you might get worried about everything that goes on. so just relax it's very normal. Like for some people day might want to shave already because they're ashamed or don't want to get glasses. So like before, just relax because you'll look fine the way you are.
- You can wear a little bit of concealer because it doesn't truly count as makeup
