| How do you do your makeup? I have always been a bit of a tom boy. Just some foundation and powder and eyeliner. The end... and yes I'm 17 and don't really need makeup but I'm very bored. I want some eye shadow and a little color on my lips. So any makeup tips or where you buy your makeup for good prices would be great for me! :]

| Have you tried Bare Minerals? It looks so natural and great for young and old! It is fun to play around with colors, but don't overdo. Let your beautiful young face shine through.

| Absolutely! I will never have anything on too heavy. I just want a tad bit more color on my face, maybe a little blush and something on my eyes. I'm just not good at applying lol!

| I used clinique until 2 weeks ago. I went and had a facial done and had my makeup done by Conrad Sanchez!!! (google him, he did makeup for Chanel for a long time). He told me clinique makeup is for younger girls who have perfect skin. He told me that due to my skin, I had to 'graduate' to makeup that will work better for me. I started buying makeup from aquaceros. Aquaceros Medical Aesthetics so far soooo good. I love it. I also changed my skin care from Arbonne to Rhonda Allison. WAY better, it's been 2 weeks and my face looks way better already. (I have adult acne, grade 3, not horrible, but not pretty). I live by eyeliner.... love the stuff! I just use a little concealer stick, mineral face powder, mascara and eyeshadow. I love makeup.. but not a ton.

| Ah to be young again and use make up for fun instead of cover up! I say go for the quality stuff! I use Estee Lauder. It lasts forever and winds up costing less than the drug store brands in the long run. It also looks a lot nicer and is better for your skin. You don't want to use the cheap stuff that clogs pores and wind up with a bad complexion in your thirties. Watch for the deals! Estee Lauder will often have a whole set of make up free with a minimum purchase. Sometimes you may have to pay a little for the bonus set but it is very much worth it! I got a little "train case" last year filled with make up, brushes, cleanser, moisturizer, etc.... all for a small price. At your age, the cleansing is the biggest tip -- I love Estee Lauder's Foaming Face Cleanser. Very gentle, really cleans the pores and leaves your skin feeling great!

| Oh yes I am one of those very picky persons. I brush my teeth a million times a day, I wash my face in the morning and at night, and really its not so much to impress anyone I just do it for me. Deals are definitely my favorite <3 Oh to be young and poor lol!!

I get the the liquid eyeline.. its a lot easier to put on. If you are new with the liquid it takes a coupe times to get use to it.. I use Cover Girl liquid foundation too.. I have used pretty much everything and they make me break out.. I found that the CG doesnt. I dont REALLY like it I love the Mac but its really thick, I would rather have something I dont really like and a clear face than a great product and a broke out face!! Anywho, any other ?'s ask me I am pretty good with it. oh PS as far as the lip color, I think just a simple gloss looks really good!!

I use the Vita-C2 Clear 3 step program. I get it at wal mart and it lasts me FORever You can wash your face with step one in the shower or sink once a day to clean off all the makeup and everything and then step two is to get rid of any pores or acne or anything you could possibly have and then step 3 is a lotion to keep it from burning. Its like pro active but a LOT cheaper. Really though any 3 step program you see is good so if you find one cheaper go for it!

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I use Revlon usually. It's really pretty cheap, but it doesn't *look* cheap. I like it. I've finally gotten a hang of the whole makeup thing. This is my usual makeup routine: 1. Put on coverup. When you're choosing your cover up, hold it up to your jaw. I've always made the mistake of putting it on the inside of my arm to see how it works, but that's a different color than your face. You want to go about 1/2-1 shade LIGHTER than your normal skintone. I always went darker until my acting teacher was like "You look ridiculous. Learn to do makeup." hahaha The secret is to use as little cover up as possible, it goes a long way. and if you happen to have a large breakout, don't try to cover it up with the cover up. Just let it go. Otherwise, it'll just look like a breakout that you tried to cover up with coverup haha. 2. After coverup, I put on a layer of LIGHT foundation. I think the bigger the brush, the more even/natural it will look. and don't feel the need to spend the money for million dollar brushes, they all do the same thing. 3. Then, I put on a VERY VERY light layer of darker foundation. I have a weird olivey/tan skin tone, and I can never match it well. So I had to get kind of creative with the foundation. 4. Then I put on one more very very very very very light layer of the lighter foundation. This just evens it all out. 5. I don't usually use blush, because I don't really blush anyway, and I look kind of dumb with it. But get a smaller brush for blush, and put some on your cheekbone, the tip of your nose, your chin, and your forehead. For your cheekbone, put it from the ear to the apple. Don't go in circles or under your cheekbone or anything. Use blush sparingly - it's SO easy to go overboard. 6. For the eyes, do the eyeliner first. Always start with the bottom, because if you do the top first, when you open your eyes wide to do the bottom, it gets all over your brow. I also reccomend a pencil/pen eyeliner, I think liquid is too dramatic for normal wear and can actually wash you out. --- To put my eyeliner on, I dont' line the whole eye. I start where my pupil starts, and end at the edge of my eye lid (does that make sense? haha). 7. Eye shadow - Put on the color you want to pop first. Then take a lighter color and put it over the top of it. Then take a mix of the two and brush it just ONCE under your brow line. I especially like doing that because my eyebrows are very low and it kind of makes it look like there's more space. 8. For mascara, just put it on the top. Most people don't have long enough lashes for it to look decent on the bottom, and it gets all clumpy and blah looking. If you put it on the top, it'll really draw the attention to your eyes. I've got a little secret where I rotate the mascara brush while I'm doing it, and I blink. It's a lot cleaner and I have a lot less accidents then when I'm swiping my eyelashes with it. 9. For lips - I use lipstick & lipgloss together. I put on a bit of darker lipstick, then use a more "fun" lipgloss to make it look younger.
