Teenage is the time when you want to express yourself and experiment with your looks. This journey of expressing and discovering yourself comes with curiosity about makeup. To satisfy your curiosity, here are some essential makeup tips for teens to remember when you start on this fun journey.
Test for allergies/suitablity
Make sure to select makeup that won’t irritate your teen or tween skin. Do read the ingredient list before applying any product. Always do a patch test when you try a new brand or product to make sure you aren’t allergic. Avoid things like:
- Fragrance
- Oils
- Parabens
- Waterproof ingredients
Prep Your Skin
Every good makeup look starts with a healthy skin base. Similarly, makeup for teens begins with prepping the skin with a base. This can be a light moisturizer, followed by a BB, CC, or DD cream.
