make-up
Faith Void
I am cosmetically illiterate. Believe it or not, I have only wore
make-up once in my life. One of my sister's weddings. So, my dd wants
to wear make-up and I have no clue how to guide her through this. She
has some cheap make up that she has played with over the years but
wants the real stuff. How do I go about buying this for her? I need
advice on inexpensive but "real" make up. Also, how do I help figure
out how to wear it/

I had to have a friend help my dd, now 17, when she wanted to use
makeup. I have never worn and do not want to wear it. My friends and
hers came to the rescue! There's probably a lot of info online too.

I'd take her to a drugstore and let her pick some stuff out. Brands like
Cover Girl and Wet & Wild aren't expensive especially if they are on sale.
The packages usually have diagrams on them that show you where to put the
colors. Like if you buy a multi pack of eyeshadow the back of the package
will have an outline of an eye and a diagram of where to put the lighter and
darker colors. But .. I'm sure she'll figure it out once she gets her hands
on some makeup.
There are also a lot of books about putting on makeup. I have Making Faces
by Kevin Aucoin and he shows how to create a bunch of different looks, some
are extreme but still good for ideas and tips. I bet you could find it at
the library.

I am too! I know that when I was 13, my stepmom took me to a mary kay
lady for a private birthday party. It was wonderful because not only
did she suggest colors for me, but also different ways of applying
makeup AND covered basic skin care (which is important if you start
slathering on all those chemicals). Alternatively you could go to
the mall and ask for assistance at ANY makeup counter. Most of the
people I've met there have been really kind and helpful (and a boost
to my ego, which we can all use) They love makeup, for the most part,
and helping other women do makeup is great!
You do NOT have to buy all of the makeup that they offer, but do buy
something or offer a tip, and to be honest, the foundation that you
buy there is worth the extra money. I always buy a tinted moisturizer
(which is lighter feeling) and my mascara from there. I don't wear
makeup often, but those two are ones that I don't react too. Cover
girl also has a tinted moisturizer, and another good thing about them
is that it's hard to get pancake effect with it ;-)

I can not afford make up counter make up, that's way out of our
(small) budget. Are there some name brands people recommend? I don't
have friends IRL so there really isn't anyone I can ask. My mother
doesn't wear make up either. The Mary kay sounds like a good idea, but
they will expect a sale, right? I would buy a little but she's just
starting out, what would she need?
She will be 11 in Dec. maybe I could ask my sister to do this. She
wears it but we don't see her that often, because of distance. Maybe
she could do a thing with her, ok that's vague but I don't know the
lingo. I do want to buy her some for the holidays. So if someone could
answer my other questions that would be awesome!

How much do you want to spend? My older daughter is a make-up queen. I could ask her. I don't wear it myself and never have, but she has worn it since she was five years old. She had fake little girl makeup at first and then a neighbor gave her some out of her own collection, half used mascara, etc.
She would know what inexpensive brands you can buy at the local drugstore are the best. Of course, you may want to find some extra money and buy the better stuff because apparently there are huge differences in the content of it and the more natural stuff costs more, but is better for the skin.

I'd take her to a drugstore and let her pick some stuff out. Brands like
Cover Girl and Wet & Wild aren't expensive especially if they are on sale.
The packages usually have diagrams on them that show you where to put the
colors. Like if you buy a multi pack of eyeshadow the back of the package
will have an outline of an eye and a diagram of where to put the lighter and
darker colors. But .. I'm sure she'll figure it out once she gets her hands
on some makeup.
There are also a lot of books about putting on makeup. I have Making Faces
by Kevin Aucoin and he shows how to create a bunch of different looks, some
are extreme but still good for ideas and tips. I bet you could find it at
the library.

thanks everyone for all the great suggestions! I just wasn't figuring
it out but I really want to please her, she is a hard one. She doesn't
really want anything for the holiday or her birthday (in Dec) so I am
trying really hard to think of creative gifts that she will actually
enjoy.
What I think I'll do from all these suggestions is...take her to the
store and buy some stuff that interests her (mama/daughter) and then
do some sort of make over kind of thing. Also, I might try to take her
and her cousin to the mall for the make overs at the cosmetic counter
and let her pick one "big" item that we can afford. I really like to
make her birthday special since she gets forgotten a lot with a 31 Dec
birthday! I think this will please her and be a fun connection for us.
She loves it when I do things out of my element and of her choosing. I
am so excited now I can't wait!

~~So, my dd wants
to wear make-up and I have no clue how to guide her through this. She
has some cheap make up that she has played with over the years but
wants the real stuff. How do I go about buying this for her?~~
As a professional makeup artist, I highly recommend the MAC counter or
store in your area. I do NOT recommend Mary Kay (sorry faithful fans)
because it is a direct marketing company and they host parties where
there is a lot of pressure to buy. It's free to browse around counters
and the MAC folks are actual artist, trained to educate and apply
makeup for a variety of situations. If you can just get her matched in
a foundation (Studio Fix powder foundation would be a really great
start at $25) then you could get some cheap stuff to let her play with.
Cheap foundation is obvious. It usually won't match anyway. Target has
a brand called E.L.F. that is $1 per item. They have some fun lipgloss
and blush and shadows she could play with. Libby Lu is another fun
place to take her at that age.
If you took her to MAC and just asked for a foundation match, there is
no charge for that. The MAC eyeshadows and other colors are FAR
superior to other lines because they were developed for makeup artists
to be used in the fashion industry.
Visiting a Sephora store would be another fun place for her. Start
with Libby Lu though. They'll do her makeup and hair for around $22
and she could make "potions" to take home for bath and body. Their
makeup is really cheap and fun for a beginner.
If you have questions about brushes and placement, write me offlist. I
could go on for hours....:) I'd be happy to post a few pics of my work
if you like.

to wear make-up and I have no clue how to guide her through this. She
has some cheap make up that she has played with over the years but
wants the real stuff. How do I go about buying this for her?~~
As a professional makeup artist, I highly recommend the MAC counter or
store in your area. I do NOT recommend Mary Kay (sorry faithful fans)
because it is a direct marketing company and they host parties where
there is a lot of pressure to buy. It's free to browse around counters
and the MAC folks are actual artist, trained to educate and apply
makeup for a variety of situations. If you can just get her matched in
a foundation (Studio Fix powder foundation would be a really great
start at $25) then you could get some cheap stuff to let her play with.
Cheap foundation is obvious. It usually won't match anyway. Target has
a brand called E.L.F. that is $1 per item. They have some fun lipgloss
and blush and shadows she could play with. Libby Lu is another fun
place to take her at that age.

jeez, it's like you speak a different language, lol. I googled a bunch
of things and found a libby lu's about 1 1/2 away so that's doable. I
am not sure if it isn't a little girly for my kid. yeah I understand
that is a weird thing to say since she is asking for makeup but she
is a into "punk" stuff and sports. She is very androgynous. I think
even walking into a MaCY's is out of my league.
Is foundation necessary? Ok here's a (maybe) better question what
would a basic make up kit consist of? She has "play" make up but is
ready for the real deal. I wanted to get her set up and then she/we
could expand.
baby needs me to get off here.

First, let me say that I find it extremely funny that after months of
reading, absorbing and learning from all you wise and insightful
parents, I choose this topic to motivate me enough to write in. I do
wear make-up, although not much. When I was about 12 and wanted to use
real make-up my mom, who wears make-up and in hind-sight was very
unschoolish, guided me through it. We started with the basics of blush,
mascara, and lip gloss. After a while I started incorporating other
stuff like eyeliner (it was the 80's) and moved on from there. It was
easy enough for me to start with as it's simple to apply. I'm sure your
daughter has some idea of what she wants to apply, and given how much
practice she's had with the pretend stuff, I'm sure she'll get the hang
of it very quickly. I'm sure there's tons of info on the web to help.
Taking her to the drug store or a Wal-Mart type store seems like a
pretty good place to start. Good luck and have fun!

I get the adult makeup for my girls at the dollar store. They are 4.5
and 3 and so it is great for them to play around with but cheap also.
That way she could play around with different colors. I get the
eyeshadow, blush, they get my almost empty foundation, and lip gloss.
What is it she wants to wear?

Of course foundation isn't necessary! You can ask her what it is
she wants. My dd has been interested in makeup for several years,
and she's 12 now. She wants DRAMA - color and glitter. So she
mostly wants colorful eyeshadow, eyeliner and lipstick. She's never
once wanted any foundation and really no blush either.
You can easily just go to a drugstore and get a few things for her
to try. We've tried Wet 'n Wild, which is very cheap, but the
lipsticks tend to be waxy, and we don't like them. But dd has liked
most of the other major brands like Revlon or Cover Girl or
Maybelline.

I couldn't wear makeup until I was 13, then for my birthday my mom got my
makeup done at a Merle Norman store and bought the makeup the makeup lady
suggested. I left the store looking like a 40 year old secretary and I was
going for more of a Debbie Harry vibe. I know she meant well, bit that is
not AT ALL what I wanted. I really just wanted black eyeliner and some
bleach.
Maybe figure out what your budget is and let her get what she wants with
that amount of money.

There are also lots of videos on YouTube on how to make up looks.
I have not watched them but they may be cool.

When dd (8) wanted makeup we picked up a couple things from Ecco
Bella's cosmetic line. I managed to find it on sale (like half off!)
at a natural foods store. She didn't care about foundation - she
wanted shimmery eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick.

I think mascara and some blush would be a good starting point. Just need to
get the right color/tone for the blush. A young girl probably doesn't need
the makeup to cover the face.I use Covergirl and it works fine. Dora

I can not afford make up counter make up, that's way out of our (small)
budget. Are there some name brands people recommend? would buy a little but
she's just
starting out, what would she need?

~~I think mascara and some blush would be a good
while is better for most young artists. THey forget and rub their
eyes, it makes some eyes itch etc...
Most of the time, younger makeup wearers really want to play with
color. Eyeshadows and lipstick/gloss are usually favorite starting points.

To reply I have turned to the "expert" in this household, my
11-year-old daughter who learned about makeup application in theatre
camp. Last summer, we went to Target to put together a moderately
priced makeup kit. Her friends also picked up makeup at Wal-Mart and
the Dollar store. She has a lot to say on this subject, so much in
fact, that she ended up putting it on her blog at
http://www.elferkid.blogspot.com <http://www.elferkid.blogspot.com> .
Basically, she usually only wears lipgloss and sometimes clear mascara.
However, she loves getting together with friends to "dress up," apply
makeup, and put on skits.
By the way, a cosmetic case with a gift certificate and a lip gloss
would be an excellent holiday or birthday gift for a tween.
Enjoy! Sandra, Living By Learning
