MAKEUP FOR TEENS
Most young women are obsessed with makeup, but they don’t often have the knowledge, skills, or confidence to make it work. The teen years are the time to try
trendy colors and textures, but a fresh young face should never be smothered in makeup.
Skip an all-over foundation application. Cover blemishes with a blemish stick. Then, apply a stick foundation to those areas that need color correction.
Do not use makeup to look older. The results look harsh and awkward.
Keep colors light and sheer. Avoid heavy, smoky eye shadow and too-bold shades for lips and cheeks.
If the skin is oily, keep blotting papers handy for touch-ups throughout the day.
To avoid drawing attention to braces, skip bright lip colors. Instead, use a moisturizing tinted lip balm or sheer gloss.
Use a clear brow gel to keep brows in place.

How to Cover a Blemish
1 Choose a stick foundation or concealer stick the exact shade matching your skin tone.
2 With a concealer brush, dab the product on the spot only. Wipe it away from the surrounding areas. Layer a second coat on if needed.
3 Dust a bit of skin-tone-correct powder directly on top of the spot.
