Do a Makeover With No Makeup

If you are a preteen who isn't allowed to wear makeup, or if you have very sensitive skin, or allergies to makeup products, or, you just don't want to wear makeup, this article explains how to give yourself a makeover in order to look pretty without using any makeup.

Steps

  1. Start with a clean surface. Wash your face with a face wash or soap and warm water. Some soap can be drying on the more delicate skin of your face. Only use ordinary hand soap to wash your face if you have no choice. Use a face cloth or flannel in small circular motions on your forehead and cheeks to help remove the dead skin cells of the day.
  2. Apply a facial toner using cotton wool if desired. Toners help to remove every trace of dirt from your skin and close your pores. Not everyone uses one, it's optional. Even though it is called toner, it doesn't have a colour tone and is not make-up.
  3. Find a lotion, cream or moisturizer that fits your skin. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, there is a lotion for you. Apply this to your cheeks, nose and forehead. Use a product with a sun block in it if you wish. This can help to protect your skin from Sun damage. Look for creams, lotions or moisturizer with an SPF rating.
  4. Pluck your eyebrows. If you are not allowed to or do not have any tweezers, just brush your brows into place with a clean toothbrush and wet them to make them darker.
  5. Do your eyelashes. Putting petroleum jelly on your eyelashes will make your eyelashes appear to have mascara on.
  6. Enhanced your features, if you wish. If you have any body glitter that you can use, spread it on your upper cheeks. Use anything that could simulate makeup, such as tinted moisturizer, which is make up.
  7. Do up your lips. If you are allowed to put on lip gloss, do so. Spread it on thinly and rub your lips together. If you can't, simply use Chapstick or other lip balm to make your lips smooth.
  8. Do your nails. File them evenly, buff them, and paint them if you have permission. Pair this up with some fragrant lotion to smooth your hands.
  9. Apply lotion to your body. Also, you could spray some body mist or perfume.
  10. Straighten or curl your hair, or find a new hairstyle that looks great on you.
  11. Enjoy your clean look, and remember, you're beautiful.

Tips

  • Drink lots of water to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.
  • Look up "Five minute no heat hairstyles" on youtube for some great videos on easy hairstyles.
  • If you want to make your eyelashes curl just a little bit, wet your finger and wipe the water in your eyelashes. The water will make them look darker for a little while.
  • If you are allowed to use any type of makeup, you can pair it with this routine. But you don't have to use it.
  • You don't have to do this routine every day, but if you want to, go ahead.
  • Try using a little bit of cinnamon to make the cheeks rosier.
