How to put on makeup for a teenager

When girls begin puberty, they try to get as close to adulthood as possible. And first of all, they do this with the help of cosmetics. Mom's or older sister's dressing tables are quickly emptied, teachers are kicked out of classes for wearing war paint, and makeup like Harley Quinn's makes many talk about the promiscuity of modern youth.

The mother of the growing lady should first get to know all its features, and at the age of 10-11, tell her about them herself. At the same time, expensive, high-quality cosmetics, the shades of which are best chosen by adults, would be an excellent gift.

At the age of 16, teenagers no longer look so desperate and calm down a little. By this age, girls should know the basics of makeup.

1. The cosmetic bag includes a light texture foundation.
2. For evening makeup, eyeliner would be appropriate, but not black: it’s quite possible to limit yourself to gray or brown.
3. Colored (preferably brown) mascara is applied to the eyelashes in 1 layer.
4. You can start working with your eyebrows - highlight them with color, look for a suitable shape for them.

It is very difficult to decide what the first makeup look for a teenager should be—both stylists and parents argue about this. Some argue that it is better to introduce girls to decorative cosmetics no earlier than 16 years old. Others have been tinting their little princesses since they were 10 years old. Many makeup artists include black eyeliner in the list of taboos for this age group, but if you look at teenagers at a disco, long arrows and smokey eyes are on every second one.

Stylistics

What style makeup options for teenage girls do makeup artists offer? There aren't many of them. There is no need to forbid them to wear makeup to school. During adolescence, this will result in rebellion and you will receive that same war paint in response. To avoid this, teach your daughter three different directions in make-up that will correspond to the environment that will surround her: school, everyday and evening.

Looking beautiful is every girl's dream. Starting from adolescence, a whole arsenal of cosmetics is used. Often the look of makeup on young people looks repulsive. When applying makeup, it is worth considering the fact that makeup for teenagers is a separate topic that deserves special attention.

Peculiarities

There is nothing wrong with wanting to appear grown up. However, high-quality make-up involves not only emphasizing facial features: it is important to be able to hide imperfections.

Teenage makeup cannot be bright and flashy: today any girl knows that it is ugly and looks ridiculous. However, without the necessary skills and rules for using cosmetics, the result simply cannot be flawless.

It is important to understand that cosmetics are selected taking into account age. If you use the arsenal from your mother’s cosmetic bag, you can harm the health of the skin, cause allergies, irritation of the dermis or itchy skin.

The first rule of cosmetics is naturalness. Makeup should be invisible and light. It is the cute, natural appearance that will create the best impression.

The second rule of makeup is facial skin care. Due to changes in hormonal levels (against the background of maturation of the body), during this period the skin often experiences a deterioration in its condition. If a girl considers herself an adult, she needs to start with careful facial skin care. Otherwise, you can lose the beauty and health of the dermis, and also become a hostage to your own complexes.

If you ignore the condition of your skin and apply cosmetics to uncleaned and diseased skin, not only your health will suffer, but also your appearance.

The skin of adolescence is especially vulnerable. When choosing your first cosmetics, you need to give preference to good, high-quality mineral products. It is desirable that the preparations are hypoallergenic and suitable for particularly sensitive, delicate skin. Rule number three is choosing high-quality cosmetics with a calming and healing effect.

The fourth rule is age emphasis. Professional stylists emphasize that the purpose of teenagers' makeup is to accentuate the charm of youth. Under no circumstances should facial features be coarsened using all available beauty artillery.

First cosmetic bag: accessories and cosmetics

High-quality makeup involves the use of special tools. There shouldn’t be a lot of them: the main thing is that they are used correctly:

1. large round brush - for powder;
2. small brush - for blush;
3. two small ones (flat and volumetric) - for shading shadows;
4. eyelash curler;
5. small brush - for stretching lipstick.

Essential makeup products for teenagers include:

1. bactericidal concealer;
2. loose powder;
3. shadow base;
4. shadows;
5. dark gray or brown mascara;
6. pomade;
7. transparent lip gloss.

Young people are not recommended to use pencil or eyeliner: this can change facial features for the worse and add age. If you don’t want to give up a pencil, you need to purchase a tool that matches your hair color. Moreover, the task will be to ensure that the pencil is not visible on the face: it needs to be gently shaded to create a natural effect.

It is important to understand that any appropriate makeup is not a reason to demonstrate the entire available arsenal of cosmetics. You shouldn’t look up to grown women whose make-up screams acid colors.

Whatever the occasion for makeup (daytime, evening, casual, summer, school), the real art of a stylist is to apply makeup as if it is not on the face. It is necessary to emphasize the flawlessness of the skin and show the beauty of the eyes.

Color solutions

The choice of shade of powder and blush should strive towards natural colors that are as close as possible to the natural skin tone. Shades with the addition of peach and pinkish undertones are allowed (depending on skin type). The concealer should be half a shade lighter than your natural complexion.

Shadows can be taken in two or four shades. This will create a natural effect when shading. You should not buy acidic, pink or blue shades: cold colors look ugly, pink and reddish ones will give your eyes a sick and swollen look. Experiments with aggressive tones are unacceptable: natural beauty cannot be destroyed.

The ideal lipstick color is transparent. In adolescence, a girl’s lips are naturally bright. You can buy transparent gloss. And if you want a little accent, then you should take a closer look at coral, coffee, nude and light terracotta shades. It is better to abstain from mother-of-pearl: this effect requires clean skin and white teeth.

A greasy gloss effect is undesirable: this type of lipstick is not suitable for teenagers.

Eyebrow shadows and pencil are a separate issue. Teenagers think that overly bright and wide eyebrows are the standard of beauty. They really shouldn't stand out, it's tasteless and looks rude.

You cannot allow a sea of ​​accents on your face: in this case, they cease to be accents, creating the image of a gypsy out of the girl. At any age, it is important to emphasize the health of the skin and the expressiveness of the look. Their natural beauty needs to be shown.

Therefore, an ideal eyebrow color should be one shade lighter than your hair color.

Recommendations from experts

Stylists working in the fashion industry recommend that teenagers start using cosmetics simultaneously with a facial skin care series. Make-up should not be applied to uncleaned skin. In addition, makeup must be removed in the evening: it is unacceptable to sleep with makeup on your face.

Among the tips there are several undeniable rules:

1. with sick and injured skin, makeup looks deplorable;
2. before applying cosmetics, it is important to moisturize and prepare the dermis;
3. you need to select shades of cosmetics in accordance with the color of your eyes, skin and hair, as well as taking into account the specific occasion (for lessons, a birthday, a disco);
4. You cannot use a thick masking agent: it will create a mask effect and emphasize the areas of rashes;
5. the dramatic tone in makeup should be kept to a minimum (fewer dark colors that create a negative effect);
6. You should never copy someone’s style by imitating a specific person: it is important to remain yourself, this will allow you to be individual;
7. There is no need to use mascara every day: this may cause a decrease in the number of eyelashes.

One of the terrible trends common among schoolgirls is the “duck lips” effect. You need to understand one thing: it is beautiful to be natural. Even if you put on lipstick, you don’t need to show off your makeup and shape in this way.

Beautiful teenage makeup is self-expression, apparent simplicity, but a carefully thought out image.

What is appropriate and when?

Each age has its own limitations. What is good at 16 and 17 years old is completely inappropriate at 12. In order not to oversaturate your face with excess cosmetics, you should pay attention to the girl’s age:

1. 12 years – emphasis on healthy skin, subtle shadows and transparent gloss instead of lipstick. An alternative option (transparent mascara-gel with vitamins A, E) is suitable as mascara.
2. 13 years – skin cleansing components, adding concealer to mask skin imperfections, medicated mascara and translucent peach-colored lipstick.
3. 14 years – light mineral powder is added to the concealer (to correct imperfections in the dermis). Makeup allows for slight variations in eye shadow shades, light pinkish lipstick and the appearance of mascara (1 layer).
4. 15 years – time for the appearance of light foundation, eyeliner and eyebrows. Mascara is still used in a minimal amount, carefully combing the eyelashes and preventing them from sticking. The lipstick becomes a little richer.
5. 16 years – honing the work with eye and eyebrow pencil, natural eyeshadow color with a smooth transition of shades, a minimum of lipstick. The 16-year-old girl's makeup allows her to accentuate the expressiveness of her eyes.
6. 17 years – selection of makeup shades for a specific style. Time for thoughtful experimentation. Foundation, powder, concealer, brown eyebrow pencil or gel, and light lipstick texture are allowed.

To school

In most cases, the purpose of everyday makeup will be related to school:

1. Everyday. A girl's school make-up is subject to a strict dress code, just like that of adult women working in an office. Bright colors are unacceptable - it is inappropriate. There can be no arrows or weighting of the image: this is daytime makeup, which is light and emphasizes the freshness of the face. The main emphasis is skin health.
2. On September 1. A special day allows for some solemnity. You definitely need to highlight the blush and show a fresh, rested complexion. It is better to enhance a good impression with a neat hairstyle.
3. For the last call. 9th and 11th grades – transitional time. The days of farewell to school are a little sad, but especially solemn. In these cases, some freedom in makeup is allowed. You can enhance the emphasis of the eyes, choose a more saturated color of the shadows.

In addition, there are other cases for using teenage cosmetics:

1. Club, extracurricular activity. Traditional modesty, minimum shine and moderation of shadows. If possible, you should do without a pencil. This is the case when class (6, 7, 9, etc.) is not important: it is important to make a good impression on others.
2. For a birthday. A reason to diversify your style, emphasizing your sense of taste. You can add a pink lipstick tone, a darker brown shade of eyeshadow and a little shimmer for the eyes.
3. To the disco. Vivid experiments within reason. Matte lipstick in nude tones, black mascara and slight highlighting of the eyebrow line are allowed. At the age of 16-17, you can accentuate your look with a thin strip of eyeliner without the “cat eyes” effect.
4. Stage makeup. The intensity depends on the specific character. In some cases, make-up requires extensive makeup using foundation, concealer, eyeliner and several layers of mascara (for the effect of big eyes).

When you are young, your value system is in its infancy, and your tastes change day by day, your psyche is especially fragile and susceptible to influence from advertising, business, and television, we note on the website for moms supermams.ru. Teenage girls often create idols for themselves, thus creating serious obstacles to the development of their personality. But the presence of such idols only worsens girls’ perception of themselves, because often what they see in the mirror does not correspond to their very peculiar ideas of beauty. Girls hide the ensuing self-doubt behind attempts to become closer to their ideals with the help of makeup.

Helping your child in such a situation is the task of every loving mother. And even if you didn’t take an exam at a motherhood school in subjects such as “makeup for teenagers” or “developing good taste in a child,” you must be an accomplice to your girl in this matter and at the same time control what is happening.

Tender age, young age, difficult age

All aging women try, or at least wish, to recapture their early years. This is because youth is good in itself: clear youthful skin, red lips that don’t need lipstick, sparkling eyes, a healthy blush. If cosmetics are applied roughly and ineptly, all this beauty will evaporate, so makeup for teenage girls should be light and as natural as possible.

Makeup for a teenager at school

Most likely, you will not be able to completely dissuade your child from wearing cosmetics at school, since there is probably a handsome boy studying there. However, you should try to limit her teenage makeup to light lip gloss, especially since school teachers may not like anything more.

Try to explain that she can experiment with cosmetics in the company of her friends while at home.

Eye makeup

For eye makeup, it is better to use shadows of one light shade, and for eyelashes - brown mascara, as it suits eyes, hair and skin of any color and shade. Eyeliner for this type of makeup is not absolutely necessary, but if you want, use brown eyeliner.

If your child leads an active lifestyle and constantly visits the pool or the gym, you should not refuse to apply cosmetics, just use waterproof mascara instead of regular mascara.

A special fixing gel will help your child with unruly eyebrows. It is suitable for girls of any age, it can be used even if the child has not yet had eyebrow correction.

Lip makeup

When painting a girl's lips, use tinted balms or glosses that highlight the natural color of the lips rather than interrupting it. If the makeup is evening and for an important occasion, then you can use translucent lipstick in natural tones.

If your child is a proud bearer of braces, then do not skimp on moisturizing glosses and special balms, as the lips will dry out very much.

What color of cosmetics do you prefer?

The shades of decorative cosmetics should match the natural shades of the skin, reveals the secrets of supermams.ru. If the girl's skin tone is cold, then pink will suit her as a shade of lipstick or blush, if she is warm, peach and apricot will suit her.

When choosing eye shadow, remember: shadows in gold, milky, beige-gray, silver, and flesh tones will perfectly highlight eyes of any color.

Make the shades somewhat washed out or translucent. Even the brightest and most vulgar colors in this treatment look gentle and do not catch the eye.

Don’t forget that you are helping to do makeup for a teenage girl, which means that all cosmetics should be light in texture, that is, blush - cream or mousse, eye shadow - liquid, and so on on the list. Products that are suitable for you are not sparkling or matte, but naturally shiny.

Party Makeup

If your girl is going to a club, a party or some kind of holiday, you can give free rein to your imagination and use various shadows, glosses, lipsticks, varnishes, and blushes. Just keep in mind that there should be only one accent in teenage makeup, otherwise everything together will look vulgar and heavy.

Handy tools

If your child begins to do her own makeup and use decorative cosmetics, she will need her own set of tools. Not your ex, not your present, not your sisters - her own.

Your task is to explain to the girl all the rules for storing and using tools. For example, the fact that they must be periodically washed under water with soap or shampoo; the absence of such treatment will only lead to the appearance of bacteria. But at the same time, everyone should not buy her a bunch of all sorts of devices with unpronounceable names and with unclear purposes. The first set should only include:

1. Brush for blush and powder;
2. Cosmetic sponge;
3. Comb for eyelashes and eyebrows;
4. Eyeshadow applicator.

How to remove makeup correctly

Removing makeup is also an art. Moreover, makeup left overnight can present a surprise in the form of pimples in the morning. You can cleanse your face before going to bed using a special foam or lotion, then you need to wipe it with a tonic for your child’s skin type, the final touch can be applying a moisturizer or some kind of gel.

Taboo for a teenage girl in makeup

Avoid appearing on a teenage girl's face:

1. Thick foundations;
2. Dark and catchy shades;
3. False eyelashes;
4. Black eyeliner.

Perfume

Heavy, sweet, intrusive fragrances are created for adults, women who are wise in life and experience, and therefore are completely unsuitable for a young lady. Light weightless aromas of citrus, flowers, and fruits have been and remain a symbol of youth and freshness.

Manicure for every day

Transparent varnishes and varnishes in pastel, light, natural shades are suitable for daily use and frequent application. Bright and heavy colors such as blue, green, scarlet or black are best reserved for parties or masquerades.

Skin care

Young skin does not need foundation creams to even out the color. But when doing makeup for a teenager, for example, for a special evening, you can use light moisturizing creams with a tonal effect.

If your skin is smooth, then the most ordinary blush will help to refresh it, but if you have acne, it is better to avoid blush: they will only emphasize skin problems.

As a mother of a teenage girl, you should also not forget about the frequent skin problems that accompany puberty. So every real and caring mother should know how to care for a teenager's skin.

The most common problem growing up in girls and boys is acne. First, take your child to a dermatologist and only after making sure that acne is a common reaction to hormonal changes in the body, begin to act. Try using an antibacterial concealer, which will help hide problem areas, as well as dry them and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Using antibacterial powder will enhance the effect of the concealer.

Often girls come up with problems with their appearance out of the blue. An example of this is the burning hatred of young representatives of the fair sex for freckles. If you want to hide them, then when doing makeup for your teenager, use creams with a high sun protection factor. But it’s better to try to explain to your child the charm and beauty of freckles, and also illustrate your story with photographs of stars such as Lily Cole, Emma Watson, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and others.

By helping your child do makeup for teenagers, you will not only become closer, but also save her from a lot of mistakes and subsequent skin problems.
