High School and college are such fun days! Cool and trendy dresses, experiments with makeup, funky hairstyles are every young girl’s obsession through these years. Today’s post is dedicated to all our teenage friends who love makeup and want to experiment with looks. However, before discussing the makeup or teens which you may try out, it is very important to know that a clear and glowing face is the first step to teen makeup. And following the CTM (cleansing, toning and moisturizing) routine religiously is the secret to the much desired radiant skin.

So, let’s first discuss about a simple tutorial on how to apply makeup for teenage girls and then move to teenage makeup tips.

Teenage Makeup Tutorial
As your skin is very sensitive at this age and will react to any harsh cosmetics, therefore it is better if you keep your makeup to the minimum.

Step 1:
First, make sure to clean your face of any oil or dirt with a face wash. Dab a little bit of toner to your skin and finish off with a moisturizer. Use a moisturizer with SPF as it will also act as a sunscreen.

Step 2:
Foundation is not needed for a teenage skin (it evens out skin tone). So if you have to use one, take a very small amount and blend it thoroughly all over your face.

Step 3:
If you want to cover up any problem areas of your skin like blemishes, under eye circles or pimples, you may use a concealer. Choose the best concealer, which matches your skin tone; otherwise, it will look out of place. Take a very small amount and blend it out with your finger.

P.S.: Your fingertip is the best blender, you don’t need a brush.

Love doing makeup during summer months but still worried about sunscreen application? If that is you – the solution to your problem lies within this post. It isn’t very difficult to apply makeup with sunscreen if you know the right technique.
Would you like to know what that is? Read on!

How To Apply Sunscreen With Makeup

• Before you start off with anything, make sure your face is clean. You don’t want to look like a mess on a summer afternoon, do you? So use fresh wipes to clean your face or simply use some rose water with cotton to massage. A mild cleanser that suits your skin would do wonders too.
• Take a bit of the sunscreen now and apply all over the face and neck region. Try not to use too much of it. Otherwise, your makeup will begin to slide all over the place. Keep a tissue in hand to remove the excess.
• Now, you can start applying makeup like you usually do . You will definitely need some face makeup along with translucent face powder. That will create a well-balanced look. If your skin is too oily, keep blotting paper ready in your hand.
• Your makeup and sunscreen, both have been applied the right way, and you are now ready!

When it comes to lipsticks, the bolder we feel, the darker the color we like to flaunt. Walking with confident strides and our head held high, red has always been the quintessential color for us. But, maybe, it is time to go darker and bolder with black.
Invoking the image of the unadulterated goth, black lipstick is not for those faint of heart. But one would be hard-pressed to deny its irresistibility. Often associated with fringe and counter-culture, nothing spells rebellion quite like the black lipstick.

If you want to test the waters but aren’t sure if investing in a brand new lipstick is the way to go, then this tutorial is for you. Use a liner instead of a lipstick. There is no reason anymore to not step out of your comfort zone

Ladies, remember this: beauty does not have an age restriction. But when you enter your 40s, your skin will go through some rather dramatic changes, most of which are related to the loss of collagen and elasticity. While these changes are inevitable and aging is completely natural – the main trick to aging gracefully is to embrace it. If you’re in your 40s, you can still maintain a youthful appearance with the right makeup choices and application techniques (besides investing in a good skin care routine, and maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly.)

Once you’re in your 40s, it’s crucial to choose the right skin care regime and makeup. It’s a transitioning period for your body and skin, and it’s about time you switch up your beauty routine. These are a bunch of makeup products and tools that will help you enhance your features and look the best version of yourself.

Hydrating Primer
A primer does for your skin what lingerie does for your figure – it smoothens, conceals, flatters, and holds things in place, so that everything you put on top of it looks even better. Whether you want to blur out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or minimize the appearance of pores or even out your skin tone, all you need is a good primer. Mature skin needs extra moisture and hydration to achieve a healthy-looking complexion.

Expert Tip
Make sure you prep your face before applying any makeup using either a hydrating primer or a balm – anything that soothes your skin. By doing so, you’ll have to use less makeup, and it’ll also blend far more seamlessly on well-hydrated skin.
