Teen Corner: Welcome!

Teen Corner

Hi! Thanks for stopping by and checking out Makeup Bag’s new feature, Bree’s Teen Corner .

I’m Bree and I’ll be contributing here once a week—telling you all my problems. Haaaaaha. Just kidding.

I’ll be talking about teen beauty, because let’s face it, what works for our mothers doesn’t always work for us. (Actually, I should say hardly ever works for us.) You know what I mean?

Glamour Gurlz by Joanna Schlip

My friends and I always look to fashion magazines and makeup books to inspire us and keep our makeup looking fresh. It’s a blast to try and re-create our favorites, even if it means ending up with the occasional raccoon eyes or Raggedy Ann cheeks. One book I’ve been loving lately is called Glamour Gurlz by celebrity makeup artist Joanna Schlip. This book has tons of ideas and great tips for young teenagers and is a great resource for the makeup novice.

Yesterday, using Eve as an inspiration, we made up my 13 year old sister, Bailey, with bold blue shadow and neutral lips from the MAC C-Shock collection.

Bailey

Bailey’s lips look nothing like Eve’s even though we applied the same lip products (Overrich Lipstick and Mega Lip Gelee)—which only means that this look will have to be re-created a few more times before we get it right!

Update: Angelcake left a comment that we used the wrong lipstick! Should be Out to Shock from the C-Shock collection. Thanks Angelcake :)

Thanks again for stopping by and be sure to check back next week for some simple tips on looking fresh in the hot summer heat.

Mwuah!!

Geniusity

Benefit D’Finer D’Liner

We’ve never been a big fan of lip liner for fear of looking like Kim Mathers or worse.

With lip liner, if you don’t stay on top of freshening up your lipstick, the dreaded “outline” is bound to rear its ugly head.

Not anymore. The genius girls at Benefit have introduced D’finer D’liner, a CLEAR lip liner that keeps lipstick from feathering by creating an invisible barrier.

We put D’finer D’liner to the test with a lipstick we love but hardly ever wear because the formula tends to bleed on us (and regular liner is too risky!). The results: IT WORKS.

We lined the outside edge of our lips with this invisible liner and our lipstick stayed put. No feathering or bleeding, and no dreaded outline. Now we can wear our favorite lipsticks with abandon—watch out boys.
