For a natural look, first of all lay off the foundation, you seem too wrong and it can really mess up your skin, if you REALLY need coverage, use a tinted moisturizer, it looks a lot more natural. Neutrogena is a really good drugstore brand for younger people, especially since you need something that won't block your pores and make you break out. A good tinted moisturizer is Neutrogena Healthy Skin Glow Sheers, a more expensive one is Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer. Skip the powder all together, you don't need it. For the circles under your eyes, a concealer can work wonders, I use one by MAC, but if that is too expensive, once again, Neutrogena. I think it's called 3-in-1 concealer for eyes. Next, mascara, you can use a nonclear mascara, once again by Neutrogena, because it looks really natural and not made up at all. I use Weightless Volume mascara b because it doesn't clump at all, you could also use Lash Tint. Finally for the eyeshadow, you can really make a sophisticated look without any eyeliner at all, just buy 3 corresponding shades of shadow (The best is a light brown, medium bronze, and a darker brown)...use the light over your whole lid and up to your brow, then the bronze in the crease and the dark one, use a slanted brush and use THAT as a liner, blending it into the rest. Good luck :)My mom says i have to go light on the makeup, and i am not saying i want to be all wild about it or anything.?
Firstly, i think u should ask (or beg) ur mum to let u have a black mascara!
Coz ur eyes are blue, i'd stick to using blue or brown. You said u had bags under ur eyes, try using a concealer or foundation %26amp; just dab some under ur eyes!
For ur eyes, put a natural colour over the whole eye, lashes to brow- a gold/cream. Coz u dont have eyeliner, use a brush which a steady edge %26amp;get some shadow on it, %26amp; use that as eyeliner. Use a brown for that. Then sweep some blue on 1/3 of ur eyelid starting from the outer edge. Pop some mascara on!
Your Mother is wise. Dont go anywhere looking line a clown or ****. Get a foundation a couple of shades lighter to cover the bags under the eyes and blend well, if you wear glasses you can go a little heavier on the eye makeup.
Less is definelty more. In my sophmore year of hs I went overboard, and everyone talked about me behind my back, not to mention i was the ';new girl';. Just listen to your mothers wise words, now all I use is a coffee scented lip gloss, and some powder to get rid of shine, only on special occasions i use eye liner. But natural beauty is the best way to go!! Good Luck =)
With makeup, less is more. Use it to accentuate your natural colour a little and it's far more effective than when you see it.
I hate makeup that shows.
basically, your mom probably doesnt want you looking like a hoochie. So on a weekend or sometime when you are both free, show her an example of how you 'd do your makeup if she let you use black mascera, eye liner, etc. The main reason we wear makeup is to enhance our features, not cake on the colors/etc. BUT , there is another side to makeup. It is an art if you're really into it. So if you're into it as showing your art, try to explain that to your mom. My sister is a makeup artists and comes up with some crazy stuff. But yeah, just show your mom that you are not going to go all out looking like a dark goth child.
Ask your mom if you can use eye bright by benefit. It works really well on dark circles and looks really natural. In fact most of the benefit line is very natural.
umm just keep putting it on light..and later try it a little more darker lol..i dont think your mom will notice ;)
