Makeup for Tweens



As the kiddos head back to school, one of the likely questions parents are facing is 'Can I where makeup now?' It's inevitable for most parents of tween girls. Likely some of their friends are following in big sister's foot steps. They see their friends wearing makeup so they want to too. If you have decided to say yes, here are some beginner essentials for those just starting out with makeup:

1. Nude eyeshadow - This is flattering and subtle on most everyone. This way she feels like she is wearing shadow but it’s not pink, green or bright blue. Make sure to get an eyeshadow brush with a handle for her to use with it. It makes it even more special.

2. Blush - Something soft and pink. Not outside of what she would normally flush naturally when she is running around. Also once, again if you get a nice big fluffy blush brush to use with it, she will really feel like she’s wearing more than she is.

3. Lip gloss - Choose a shade only slightly deeper than her natural lip color. A sheer, rosy gloss will look pretty, but not overdone.

Most kids want to appear older, but that's not the point of makeup. By avoiding heavier makeup like mascara, liner and foundation, she will still look her age by starting off with the subtle basics. Then, when she gets a little older and starts high school, take her to a professional makeup artist to get a real lesson in applying makeup.
