I'm 17 and dont know how to apply make up.?

I really need help getting light and sweet makeup ideas. i hate over applied make up. i am really picky about foundations too.Please help!!!I'm 17 and dont know how to apply make up.?
I really hate over applied makeup too, and it looks really bad on me becuse I am so fair and freckly, so I totally agree with you. I really like using Burt's Bees tinted moisturizer as a foundation because it is very natural looking. For my eyes, I use an eyeliner pencil to line about three quarters of the way from the outside of my eyes (leaving the inner corners unlined) and smudge a lot with my finger so there is not a sharp line. Then I use a touch of mascara, making sure to leave no clumps. I use one of those eyelash/eyebrow combs to get the clumps out of my eyelashes after mascara application. I use some loose powder on my face and then apply a light lip gloss or lip tint and that's pretty much it. Just experiment and find out what looks good on you as far as colors and stuff. A good time to do practice with makeup is right before you get in the shower, that way you can wash it all off before anyone sees your pink eyeshadow experiment.I'm 17 and dont know how to apply make up.?
You sound like a naturalist. Accentuate your best features. If you worried about what tones to pick, shimmering soft colors do wonders for natural looks. Powder face bronzers are good to use if you do not like foundation because they simply add a natural glow. If you do not like to put eyeliner under the eye, over the eyelid is a good way to doll up the eyes with a coat of mascara for the lashes. Lipstick may do to much for the lips but shimmering lip glosses may add just enough color. If you are a pink type of girl makeups that are warm and shiny or if you are a earth tone then bronzes are great. If you like texture try a lil of both to add here and there and to swap up the look a little. This method keeps you from wearing to much make up.
first, find a foundation that would be suitable for your face. then a quick sweep of bronzer on your face. then eyeliner and a touch of mascara.
go to MAC or a department store cosmetic center and get them to do your makeup. go to several places and take notes to help you decide.
just put on a little lipgloss, blush/bronzer, mascara, and eyeliner





Since its summer I like to use Neutrogena ';healthy skin blends- natural radiance bronzer'; to look tanner, with some lipgoss w/ gold in it. I love doing up the eyes with a smokey liner, preferably black. Most girls like the great lash mascara, works like a charm.

is a good link to get the basics. If you want more natural looks, skip the foundation altogether and just use blush, that's what I do in the summertime. Pick colors that are light and neutral and just have fun! You can get really cheap makeup at dollar stores, just to bring home and practice with in the mirror. Then when you find a color you like, find a similar color in a slightly more expensive brand.
ok well how about treat urself to ulta to get ur makeup done and ask them questions about applyin the make up so try that
well it depends on your skintone..


if your dark.. dont put on light colors..


it wont match and try not to wear too much eyeshadow, mascara , eyeliner, or lipstick..


or any of those..
my best advice is to go to a Macy's Dept store and the make up counter and ask for a lesson on your best colors or foundation tones. They are there to help or contact a Mary Kay consultant near you. They can come to your house and help you with all kinds of make up questions.
If you check out this site it has guides and things to help you apply make up. Plus the make up that they sell is very affordable and I love it.
just put on a little lipgloss, bronzer, mascara, and eyeliner(black)





Since its summer I like to use brownezers or nice shimmer eyeshadow...but EYELINER is the best!:)
if you have a big sister go with her and tell her to help you or tell a firendyand that firendy is good she will help you.
well...


if u want to apply make-up pick out some colors that u like or match w/ ur outfit or that can make u POP(AS IN UR EYES FOR EX.) the secret to makeup is to look like ur not wearing it but dont use to much cuz that cheap stuff can make u break out fast!
-buy a covergirl power foundation and put it on lightly. make sure it matches your skin tone...


-put eyeliner on the bottom lid lightly, then smudge it with a Q-tip for smoky eyes...


-put mascara on the top eye lashes..its hard to get them both even..


-add some eye shadow or blush if you want.

I agree with other people that you should go and get a consultation with a trained professional. I think mineral make-up is the way to go it's light, easy to use and most importantly it's natural looking. Bare minerals is excellent and Philosophy makes a mineral make-up. You should go to Sephora since they deal with make-up and beauty products exclusively and ask for a free consultation. Good Luck!
Go to a comsmetic counter at a department store (if you can). Make an appointment with them to try basics. At 17, maybe you could try Clinique (I am a finance manager/not into selling anything). I did this for each of my teenage daughters and they learned to apply cosmetics and use skin care. It cost me the amount of purchasing a basic skin care package. [I don't think it would have cost anything if I / they didn't like it.]
