How old can you paint?

For children of primary school age, cosmetic brands produce a special harmless, hypoallergenic palette of shadows and lip gloss, which makes life much easier for mothers of little fashionistas. But makeup with such analogs has its drawbacks: it is dim, the number of shades is relatively small, it is almost invisible on the skin, which often upsets young princesses. Such a set is designed for girls aged 6 to 10 years. Then from how old can a teenager wear makeup intended for adults?

On the advice of professional makeup artists it is not recommended to use cosmetics intended for adult women, for persons under 15 years of age... But if a girl of 11-14 years old persistently wants to wear make-up, then you should not ignore the growing up of the child and prohibit the use of decorative cosmetics under the pretext "you are still little", because you can only make things worse. The easiest and "painless" way out for you and your child is to buy your nozzle analogues that do not cause allergic reactions. This is a special decorative cosmetics for teenagers.

Buying cosmetics for your beloved daughter and learning how to use them is what any mother should do.... The "Little Fairy" set, which was a favorite a year ago, will not cause joy, because your child considers himself an adult. Therefore, a few simple tips will help save time and hassle.

Consider these tips.

• With a firm decision to buy your daughter make-up tools, you do not need to run to the store and buy everything.... Start with the basics: mascara and lip gloss or lipstick (you can buy a foundation). Gradually increase the amount of decorative products.This will be an incentive to learn new techniques for applying "cosmetic touches" from the very beginning.

• If you are doing makeup for a girl under 18 years old, you need to take into account the type and characteristics of the skin. When it is not a problem, then you should not apply a tonal foundation. If there are flaws, then it is better to choose a BB type foundation. You can also use other types of cosmetics for skin care, but only with the label "under 25".

• It is equally important to tell the girl about hygiene procedures and makeup removal. Explain that untimely rinsing of cosmetics from the face leads to adverse consequences, the most harmless of which is acne.

• If your daughter wears makeup that is outside the norm, for example, the school is painted under smokey ice, do not rush to criticize it - explain that there is a certain dress code and it must be observed. Try with her to choose a make-up that will meet the canons of society and she will like it.

Often adolescent girls do not know how to paint correctly or apply too dark "foundation". At the same time, the face acquires a dark color, as if it came from the south, and the neck becomes white. Or a vampire queen comes to school with red lips and black shadows on half her face. This look is inappropriate for everyday use.

Every girl should remember that there are only two main types of makeup.

1. Day - such makeup is often used by girls on a daily basis. It looks natural. It does not include any frilly elements or acid colors. This kind of makeup is not banned in offices or high school in most schools.
2. Evening - this type of makeup can be as varied as the imagination of the master allows. Makeup artists select tones that are in harmony with the clothes and accessories of the client. Naturally, the style of such a make-up is also varied and multifaceted.

The difference in lighting can significantly change the expected result, which is why daytime makeup is applied in daylight (or under a fluorescent lamp). Evening makeup is done in dimmer lighting, which will give you an idea of ​​how you will look roughly. But whatever style you choose (other than stage style), you should focus on one thing: eyes or lips. The double accent looks ridiculous and tasteless.

Also, a separate line should be marked "strobing". To give a shimmery effect, use a shining highlighter, you can paint with lip balm instead of a foundation, but in this case, you should avoid applying to the forehead and chin. This type of make-up is used mainly in photo shoots or large scenes, less often in evening make-up, and is never used in daytime visage.

Each person has a unique skin that requires care and attention. In children, it is very sensitive, gentle and highly susceptible. Therefore, all cosmetics and perfumes should be selected taking into account age, skin type, desires, needs of the person himself and many other factors.

As stated earlier, 15+ is required to use foundation. For young skin, use BB series creams, they hide imperfections and smooth out irregularities. At the same time, the base is light, does not clog pores, allowing the skin to breathe. But under the foundation, you should put a base layer (moisturizing). Recently, new types of all-in-one BB foundations have emerged. It is not necessary to apply the base under them.

Eyebrow shaping with a dye composition is recommended to be done no earlier than at the age of 16. But if naturally thin blonde hair, then it is possible to use an eyebrow pencil. It is better to entrust the initial design to professionals who will help you choose the shape and choose a natural tone.

For girls from high school, it is recommended to choose a hypoallergenic palette with natural shades. At 16, you can try brighter colors and experiment with shading.... Cosmetic glitters should also be attributed to shadows. To create a shining image of a girl, they are often used for school balls and "lights". They must be applied carefully.

Girls can use hypoallergenic mascara from 11 years old. Makeup artists do not recommend using lengthening and waterproof options. The purchase of mascara is encouraged to increase the density of the hairs, it uses the Liquid balm. Apply mascara in movements from the base to the ends, pulling the lashes straight up: this will give a slight curve and help to avoid clumping and clumps. If a girl confidently uses ink, you can learn to use a pencil, but with the same condition: girls under 15 years old should use a hypoallergenic product.

Professionals insist on using hygienic lipsticks from an early age, especially in cold weather. This will protect the baby's delicate lips from dryness and cracks. From 11 years old, girls are advised to use natural shades of lip gloss. Lipsticks with a 3D effect or long-lasting color can be used no earlier than at the age of 16.

To draw the contour of the lips requires a certain skill. Therefore, it is better to apply the gloss by gently touching up the result with a cotton pad. Cosmetologists say that young women of fashion need to use soft tones that are close to natural.

Facial skin care rules are mandatory for all ages. For washing, it is better to use special foams or cream soap, since ordinary soap has a high content of alkaline substances, which leads to overdrying of the skin.

Using a towel, the skin of the face should be soaked; wiping should not be used, so as not to damage the upper layer of the epidermis. Before applying cosmetics, you should use a moisturizer; with a lack of nutrition, cell aging occurs somewhat faster.

If you are using a foundation other than the BB series, then remember: it lies on the skin with an impenetrable mask, as a result of which the pores are deprived of breath.

You need to wash off your makeup with a special lotion, professionals recommend micellar water, and before going to bed you need to rinse your face with a foam for washing. The use of scrubs is not recommended more than twice a week, since abrasive elements, in addition to the massage effect, cause micro-scratches.

Before using any cosmetic product, it is worth applying a small drop on the inside of the wrist and wait 15 minutes. If at least a slight redness appears on the skin, the use of this composition is contraindicated for you, since allergic reactions can lead to serious consequences (up to anaphylactic shock and death).

Summing up: cosmetics are powerful weapons of beauty, but just like a rifle in the hands of an inexperienced soldier, it can harm the owner. It should be used sparingly and with caution.
