Apply a sheer powder foundation or tinted moisturizer to the skin. Use your fingers to apply it. There is no need to wear heavy foundation as a teenager, as it can look heavy. Choose powder foundation if your skin is on the oily side. Choose tinted moisturizer if your skin is dry.

Brush on neutral eyeshadow colors. Using an eyeshadow brush, apply a neutral shade, such as cream or beige, all over the eyelids and up to the brow bone. Apply a slightly darker color, such as a soft brown, in the crease and blend well. Trendy, metallic eyeshadow works as a crease color, as well.

Dab on a peach or pink blush using a stick blush. Stick blushes are perfect for teens as they are easy to use and glide on smoothly. The colors are light and easy to wear. Dot it on the apples of the cheeks. Use your fingers to blend it toward the hairline.

Put lip balm on your lips. This preps the lips and eliminates flakes. Apply a shiny pink or coral lip gloss on the lips.
