Cosmetic
tips for Tweens
1.
Concentrate on just a few products.
“The biggest mistake young girls make
is to think they need a lot of makeup,”
says our beauty pro Leslie Lightfoot, Mary-Kate
and Ashley's personal makeup artist. “Most
'tweens have good skin and all they need is
a little lip gloss and blush.”
2. Blushing beauty.
For the blush, Leslie likes cream blushes that
come in a stick form because they go on very
sheer, making you look naturally rosy. Try a
shade that’s between pink and red; it
will suit most skin tones. Take the stick of
blush (available from Calvin Klein, Stila and
other cosmetics companies) and lightly dot the
apple of your cheeks with color. Blend with
your finger. The result should be a slight flush.
If you end up looking like the clown at your
little brother’s last birthday party,
get out the tissue and blot!
3.
Lip service.
With the shimmery, shiny look being ultra-in,
lip gloss rather than a heavier lipstick is your
best bet. Leslie likes glosses from the mary-kateandashley
brand Cosmetics, which offer shine without being
too goopy. “The Sweet and Glossy -- a roll-on
flavored lip gloss -- is great because it gives
you a sheer shine,” Leslie adds. “I
like it in Blueberry; just add some to the middle
of your bottom and top lips.”
4. Eye do. Looking to add eye shadow,
too?
The mary-kateandashley brand Shimmer Plus allover
color crayons add a hint of sparkle to your eyelids
in colors ranging from Funky, a frosty pink, to
In Vogue, a powder blue. Take the crayon and apply
color to your eyelid, smudging it in with your
finger. Don’t go any farther than the crease
of the lid. The result? A pretty look that makes
your peepers pop. “Outside, the light will
really catch the shimmer,” confides our
makeup maven.
Cosmetic
tips for Teens
1.
Add some extras.
Use the tips for 'tweens but add some mascara
and under-eye concealer, if desired.
2.
Mascara madness.
Our beauty pro Leslie Lightfoot, Mary-Kate and
Ashley's personal makeup artist, recommends.
Use a light-brown formula if your skin is fair
and a dark-brown shade if your skin is dark.
Skip black mascara -- it’s too dramatic
for now. To apply, swipe on a light layer with
the mascara brush as you look straight into
the mirror. Start from the outer corner of eye
and work your in and across the whole lash line.
Don’t do your bottom lashes or you may
get not-so-cute smudges.
3. Conceal it.
Use concealer only if you have circles under
your eyes. (And get some sleep, growing girl!)
Find the right shade of concealer -- Leslie
likes Revlon’s -- by picking one a little
lighter than your natural cheek color. Another
way to know you’ve chosen the right concealer:
Match it to the lightest part of your neck.
To apply, dot in the inner and outer corners
of your eye and blend.
4. Starry night looks.
Teens will have more nighttime events to go
to than 'tweens and will want to maximize their
makeup’s impact on occasion. Dress up
your look easily by adding some Sequin Dust
from the mary-kateandashley brand. It’s
allover sparkling powder that you can put on
eyes, lips, cheeks or even shoulders. Dip a
dry makeup brush into the reflective dust and
apply. Play up your eyes by adding a darker
metallic color at your lash line, such as the
mary-kateandashley brand Metallic Eyes chrome
eye color in Silver.
5.
Powder puff girl.
Although girls don’t need to wear foundation,
Leslie advises those with acne-prone skin to
try add a layer of oil-absorbing translucent
powder to finish off your look.
