1. No Foundation

First and foremost, when you are a teenager you don't need to wear foundation. The reasoning behind this is because you have beautiful skin! It's absolutely flawless and there is no reason to cake anything onto it. So ladies, the first makeup trick for teenagers is to nix all of the foundation that you are using.

2. Use Concealer

Instead of foundation, instead you should stick with concealer. Let's say that you have some blemishes that you're looking to cover up, instead of dotting on the foundation, just use a bit of concealer to cover up those trouble spots! Ladies, this is truly one of the makeup tricks for teenagers to follow!

3. Use Powder to Tone It down

Powder can actually tone down the color of your cheeks or even hide some of the concealer that you put on. If you're looking for a way to tone it down ladies, make sure that you're using your powder! Just a few dots and dabs of powder and you'll be in business!

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

4. Light Eye Makeup

When it comes to teenager makeup, you have to make sure that you don't look like you are wearing too much. This means that going with lighter colors is going to benefit any eye color and look beautiful and flawless! So young girls, make sure that you stay away from the heavy, heavy eye makeup!

Thinking...

"Enhancing your beauty doesn't always mean going for the glossy look. More ladies now see the allure of a shine-free finish.

Enhance your natural complexion without the unnecessary flash."

5. Waterproof Mascara

Now, I am 28 and even I follow this rule. I don't buy a mascara unless it is waterproof, so this typically goes for any girl that is wearing makeup, but for young girls especially. This is one of those makeup tricks for teenagers that a lot of people don't think about, but it'll help keep your lashes in check when it's wet!

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

6. Pencil Eyeliner

Remember what I said about going light on the eye makeup? This includes using eyeliner. You shouldn't be using things like deep cream eyeliners or gel eyeliners, stick to a pencil liner and you should be okay! Seriously girls, try some of these makeup tricks for teenagers and I promise that you'll love them!

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

7. Light Blush

So I'm pretty pale, so I definitely need to amp up my makeup a little bit and when you're young, if you don't have incredible skin, you can brighten it on up by just adding in a little bit of blush! Just apply some of the cream blush (not too dark) to the apples of your cheeks and I promise, that you'll look beautiful!

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

8. Lip Gloss over Lipstick

Finally, as you can see, there are tons of different makeup tricks for teenagers, you just have to find the ones that work best for you! Lip gloss over lipstick is one of the newest trends and it will make your lips look so lusicious!

Teenage skin is so much different than any other skin out there! It's so young, so fresh and so beautiful and you have to be careful about which makeup tricks for teenagers you are using! So ladies, what makeup tricks for teenagers did I miss? Any that you use? Tell me!

    I need tons of advice. I'm a ginger.. The whole red hair, blue eyes, and freckles.. AND I've always gone with the whole natural look. I'm 14 and the only make-up I have ever tried is mascara, concealer for my acne, and eyeliner and I am a very big beginner when it comes to trying make-up. I was wondering what tips you have for beginners like me, what blushes and concealers would look good with my freckles, and what color eyeshadows would look good with my big blue eyes? Thanks for the help and I love this website! (:

    First of all, i personally think that foundation should be used as a concealer. Honestly, if u look, it's kinda the same thing, AND well, it's basically the same price except more for your money. And yeah, no pencil eyeliners aren't good at all. They don't sharpen easily at all. Retractable ones are way better.

    Uhm well I think if you're wearing concealer, foundation is necessary. I've tried this before and I had a few people tell me that it looked like I just randomly dotted on makeup in random spots and it looked funky. (I have the makeup that blends to match your skin type, so it wasn't that I had the wrong shade) So I think that if you're even going to use concealer, you should definitely wear foundation.

    I completely disagree with going light and natural. When you're young it is the perfect time to experiment with your makeup and have fun with crazy colors and styles!

    I am 14 and only get a blemish about once every one or two months. Usually because I don't take of my make up, (I don't wear a lot) or because I live in Texas and the weather here is ALWAYS changing so I get allergies A LOT, so I have to blow my nose and I somehow always end up using tissues with lotion in them at school. So, before you say 'Oh, all teenagers have flawless skin,' Or, 'All teenagers have major acne.' Everyone is different. It's in your genetics. <3 -Meghan
