What is the best way to do make-up, as a teen?

I am 15 and have been trying different make-up ideas. Is it best to do eyeliner just on the bottom, top or both for school?





I've been trying just top , im getting bored of it now though. So I tried both and it looks good in dimmer light but in really bright light it looks a little sloppy. I have large eyes and I was wondering what would be the best way to do make-up? thanks!What is the best way to do make-up, as a teen?
always go with less is more especially for school.





I use just a little bit of ';Laguna Peach'; (one of the Beauty Rush eye shadows from Victoria's Secret) just on the top of my eyelids and then a nice brown eyeliner on the outer corners of my eyes on the bottom, I never go all the way across, it looks sloppy most of the time, I might go three-quarters of the way across at the most... this is a great every day look because it deepens the color of my eye and looks good bu not over done.





every eye color looks good with a different color, I think the basic rule is


blue goes with peachy/orangey colors


green goes with purples and pinks


and brown goes with violet/purplish colors


but like I said every eye is different, and you should experiment with different colors and shadesWhat is the best way to do make-up, as a teen?
I wouldn't use eyeliner for school. Save it for going out. I personally feel that eyeliner should be reserved for more special occasions. If you have large eyes, you don't really need eyeliner since the purpose of eyeliner is to make your eyes larger.





Why don't you try this: Layer your eyeshadow. Use a very light shimmer from your eyelid to your brow, do a medium shade in the crease, a darker shade on the eyelid and do a very very dark shade right along the lashes. This will give a subtler eyeliner effect so that you can save the eyeliner for more special occasions.
Switch it up as much as you like. In High School I wore coloured eyeliners to keep my make up fresh. Purple was my favourite. (Added bonus - Purple eye liner in the morning makes you look more awake!)





Also try experimenting with a liquid eyeliner some days. A solid dark liquid line on the top with a subtle taupe-y shadow and mascara is a really classy look. Also with a liquid, I've been experimenting with a really cool 'Mod'-eye. Try making tiny barely connected dots with a liquid eyeliner where you would usually draw a straight line. This recreates the drawn on Twiggy lashes in a really subtle and fun way. Add a bright shadow for an edgier and exciting look!





You could also try using your shadows as liners. Use a really find eyeliner brush and make it a bit damp, coat it in shadow, dab off the extra, and go to town. This gives you a lot more options as most people have more shadows than liners.





Don't just stick to top, bottom, or both. There are a million things you can do with liner. Also, sticking to the same makeup everyday can be so boring. Switch it up.... one day wear only mascara and lipstick, or make some dramatic Amy Winehouse eyes, or no liner at all, just shadow and mascara. Play! Make-up should be fun!





Just don't go overboard. Too much make up in high school always looks a little bit 'clowny'. If you have troubled skin, too much make up can make it worse. If you don't, too much make-up can make it look like do.
i am 14. try putting eyeliner just on the bottom. go on to the website of your favourite makeup company(s) (covergirl, maybelline) and see if they have a ';makeup advisor'; and find your best products. for eyeshadow, apply dark colours at the bottom and lighter colours closer to the brow. for lips, try a really light shade of lipstick and then apply a bit of pink lip gloss on top. no lip liner. mascara is really good, obviously. hope that helps. :)





also: i use





for lipstick: NYC (new york colour) in very light pinks and hot pinks


for lip gloss: maybelline wetslicks in medium pinks


for eyeshadow: almay trios (has selections for every eye colour including hazel)


for mascara: cover girl
Bottom eyeliner usually makes your eyes look small.


Try other colors like a deep purple, they compliment brown eyes.


Instead of lower eyeliner, just blend snowy white shadow at the bottom, and do a thick liner on top. Makes perfect rocker-eyes.



i am not a fan of top and bottom eyeliner. i like just top REALLY thin and sometimes bottom but not across the whole bottom just starting in the middle and going out making it darker as i go out. but some eyeshadow would look pretty! o
