Makeup Advice for Fair-Skinned Teens: Contour Recommendations?

[misuka]

If she’s really pale it’s best to go get her matched for a decent brand rather than by the lighter shade of just anything because the tones in pale skin are the most visible. Even once some where like Mac tell you her tones that will help you buy in cheaper lines if you want to, but Mac is a good one to start with for 13 year olds right now x

Take her somewhere to do a colour test and then find a brand that works for her (start cheap )

Ignore Belinda and Ree... I have no idea who peed in their cornflakes this morning but you know what they say... misery enjoys company, and loves to try to drag people down.

@nivin thanks I ignore the haters anyway this made me laugh I know my daughter they don't she doesn't wear it everyday but I'd like her to have good quality and not look like bobo the clown if you catch my meaning

 

[atheistftw]

I would take her into boots or Mac and get her matched with some and see if she likes it

I’m pale and freckly, MAC coloured matched me a few times (best to do summer and winter due to tan) and always ask if I want to be matched to the freckles to hide them or to my skin which means the freckles will show.
As a lady said above, take her along to a MAC bar, they’ll match her and give loads of advice

Primark do some very pale shades, I love Primark make up.

Or if your anywhere near the Wirral there is a training college which gives taster sessions to kids of make up, nails etc for a small fee think it’s £25 a session.

Our boots have a brilliant make up counter, with some lovely ladies who will do a makeup trial for her. To help find her shades/colours that suit her x

 

[godismyjoy]

@thomasmagda47 do you know if you have to book in for these might take her to one

My daughter is same age and also fair she uses a light shaded bronzing powder to contour and add a bit of colour to her cheeks

 

[rumitoid]

I am super pale. I buy a powder foundation just a few shades darker for contour and bronzing .

 

[alyosha7]

I started at around 13, I don't think I used foundation at that stage but just a little loose face powder, blusher and mascara. As others have said, maybe visit a makeup counter to get ideas of shade. I've only ever known my mum with makeup and I've always done the same. I have always cleansed, toned and moisturised before applying and never slept with my makeup on. Less will be more at her age as I'm sure her skin is beautiful without lots of coverage. Make a girly date of visiting a makeup counter together

@alyosha7 I agree… but they’re so different with each generation- at least they’ve moved on from ‘twilight teaser’ lipstick!!

 

[alyosha7]

@brz44mi now your talking my era! Electric blue mascara too! Yeah, I didn't have contouring back then, just a bit of blusher lol
