Impact Eyeshadow
What Kind Of Makeup and How Much?

OK, I’m 12 and I have some freckles, dirty blond hair with natural light blond highlights, and very blue eyes. I own this:
exact eyelights in blue sapphire
plain black mascara from clinque (High Impact)
maybelline eyeshadow, i think its called lavender fields
and some other stuff.

Whats some good stuff for my age and I don’t want to wear a ton of makeup because thats icky, so whats your suggestions?

hmm my suggestions are the following:

don’t wear eyeshadow (or at least coloured one) if you must, go with a very neutral tone (like a light gold or light pink) nothing too shimmery, and just apply a LITTLE bit to your eyelids

brown or black/brown eyeliner (doesn’t matter what brand, just make sure it’s not too smudgy! because you don’t want an ugly mess after a few hours of wearing it..) i use mac eyeliner because i find it works the best and lasts forever and they have a lot of lovely shades of brown (if you want that then ask one of the makeup artists there and they will tell you the perfect brown for you because it’s hard to do this without a picture…)

just don’t wear black! being fair, blond hair and blue eyes, the last thing u want to do is black eyeliner (trust me!)

and get yourself a really good eyelash curler! this is your best friend!!! learn how to use one (i promise they’re not as scary as they look lol) and look for one that has a ROUNDED pad (it should look like a dome shape on the edge that squeezes your lashes) if it’s FLAT don’t get it! (because that will give you an awkward line… trust me not good) again, mac has a great one!

wear some clear/light pink Lip Gloss and you’re good to go!

if you are 12 i would stop there! this will make your eyes POP and your face look “done” without much product

however, if you insist on wearing mascara, the ones you mentioned don’t sound like they are right for you… what i’d recommend is l’oreal telescopic mascara- also in black/brown!!!

here’s the link so you know what it looks like: http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/1/15262/09_2008/mscara.jpg (just remember that you’re looking for black/brown ok! because this one’s black)

and if you are going to use mascara, curl your lashes first, and then when applying your mascara, always start from the very tips of your lashes (do it on both sides) and then go back and go from midway (both sides) and then finally to your lash line (on both sides) one coat is more than enough!!! don’t dip the brush back in! it will be enough for both eyes for one day’s wear if you put more than that, it will start to feel heavy, and look more cakey, and will cause your curl to flatten throughout the day… you don’t want this! so keep it nice and light! (this will bring out your blue eyes GUARANTEED!)

if you want to add a little colour to your face (you said you’re pale) then i’d suggest maybe a LITTLE bit of blush (use a nice rosy pink, nothing on the red side) just on the outer corners of your cheek bone

EDIT: the girl who said LOTS of blush clearly has never dealt with fair-skinned individuals… or thinks that looking like a clown is good…
