QuestionHello Tyla, I am 15 years old and i need some help. First, I'd like your advice on whether foundation or concealers are better for someone my age. I have combination skin, but tend to breakout quite a bit, so i want something that will not make me break out more. Also, i have dark brown eyes, and want to make them pop a bit, so what kind of mascara should i use that will lengthen and will work with my eye colour? What eyeshadow colours look good on brown eyes? Thank you so much for your time and help!!=]
AnswerFirst, you are still young so you want to use as little as possible to keep your skin healthy and young. I would recommend trying a mineral powder foundation. Find one where the only ingredient is mineral powder without additives. Mineral powders are not only light weight, but they are a natural sun block and are healing for the skin as well because of their mineral properties. You will porbably continue to break out some just because of your age and the hormones in your body right now, but there are things you can do to help decrease the breakouts. Drink lots of water, eat fruits and vegetables, avoid sodas, wear sunscreen and use oil free lotions and makeup. Clean your skin of all makeup at night with a gentle cleanser and use a gentle acne cream if needed. A great natural astringent that will help with acne and tone your skin is witch hazel. Its very inexpensive and works well.
As far as makeup- if your eyelashes are thick find a mascara that is lengthening only- like Maybellines Lash Stiletto. If they are thin then get a lash thickener and apply first, then use the lash stiletto second. For color, you can either use brown or a pretty gold toned eyeshadow for a lighter day color or purple. Try different tones of purple, search for one thats kind of a brown purple, or experiment with mixing colors together you already have to make new colors. Mixing a deep purple with a brown or gold will lessen the intensity and give you tons of variety. Have fun with it!
Hope this helps- good luck!
