  1. Just wear mascara and a little natural color lipgloss. That's all you need.
  2. Hold on Eyes- I know u said u hate mascara but ry clear mascara it wont run and it takes literally 30 seconds to put on. use bonebelle clear. if u want eyeshadow use the almay bring out blue collection http://almay.com/Pg/Main/CatProdDet.aspx?catid=32&catnm=Eyes&subid=242&subnm=Shadow&prd=28616&osubnm=Blue and just use the bottom one for your lid or if u want a less noticable one use the top one on the lid. if u use liner its really noticeable so i dont know if u want it but if for some reason u want to this is the one to use http://almay.com/Pg/Main/CatProdDet.aspx?catid=32&catnm=Eyes&subid=231&subnm=Eyeliner&prd=28613&osubnm=Blue in brown, it looks great with blue eyes. but u dont have to use it, but if u do just a little under the bottom lashes. Face- to cover up zits use this concealer it helpes cover and heal zits http://almay.com/Pg/Main/CatProdDet.aspx?catid=31&catnm=Face&subid=229&subnm=Concealer&prd=28608 just put a littl db directly on the pimple and rub in with clean fingers. if yr pale use the light shade you mite want a little blush so use this one http://almay.com/Pg/Main/CatProdDet.aspx?catid=31&catnm=Face&subid=226&subnm=Blush%20and%20Bronzer&prd=28585&osubnm=BlushBronzer in pink just a little bit and if u want an even more natural look use a blush like this one http://content.ulta.com/images/products/large/2097189.jpg they can be purchased at drugstores like these products, Lips- just some lip balm so soften yr lips and if u want a little shine just some lip smackers original bubble gum. i chose these brands becuase they do not test on animals Entire time to do this who routine with eyeliner- 5-6 minutes.
  3. you should use a bit of foundation and maybe some powder to keep shine down, a good undereye concealer for dark circles, and an acne concealer. a lil grey or brown eyeliner (depending on your hair and eyes) is nice for an understated look, and you should try mascara again. it really looks nice. lip gloss of course. i personally use covergirl clean makeup foundation, cg professional loose powder, cg perfect point plus eyeliner in charcoal, cg fresh complexion under eye concealer, maybelline greatlash mascara in black, and maybelline shinylicious lip gloss most days. putting all this on honestly doesn't take very long and it's really very easy once you get used to it. my sister uses a clean and clear acne concealer which works really well and treats pimples at the same time. apply your foundation with a sponge wedge (or your fingers for heavier coverage), and if you use powder use a big powder brush. also, every morning and night you should use a good non-comedogenic moisturizer (even if your face is oily) bc if your face is dry it produces even more oil. in the morning also use an spf. good luck!
  4. you're so lucky you haven't been wearing any...i kind of got addicted. you probably already do this, but i just want to make sure: make sure you wash your face in the a.m. and p.m. (any neutrogena or clinique face wash is good with minor acne). don't forget to moisturize as well (make sure it's oil free/for acne-prone skin). It doesn't hurt to use a clay mask once a week too....aveda's is AMAZING. in terms of covering up acne, you can use a concealer w/ salicylic acid (neutrogena) on the spots or tinted moisturizer all over- it's sheer, a moisturizer, and most of them are available w/ spf (super important!!!!) and are oil-free. when you apply concealer (if its for zits, you want one that matches your skintone, if its for dark eye circles, one shade lighter) pat it into the area you want covered, and then sweep some sheer face powder to set it. if you do have oily skin, a little bit of powder can knock off that extra shine. also, if you haven't already, consider getting your brows shaped or even just have the strays cleaned up, which is a nice way to enhance your face w/o makeup and can even eliminate eye makeup all together. i know you hate mascara, but give it one more try - it's most likely your best bet if you want to look as natural as possible. try covergirl's exact lash. when you apply it, start at the base of your lashes and move the wand side to side, wiggling it up to the ends of your lashes. to get rid of clumps, use an eyelash comb - it helps a lot. if mascara still doesn't do it for you, try some eyeshadow in the pink/brown/peach family to make your eyes really pop. i am in love with pop beauty's eye cakes because they have palettes specifically for different colored eyes. http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P122011&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5682 another option for your eyes is eyeliner, but stay away from black (its too harsh) and use a light hand or you'll end up with way too much on. apply it as close to the lashes on the top lid and on the lashline on the bottom lid. you can use a smudger on your eyes to blend it in a bit more, especially on your top lashes. i personally use an eyeliner brush with eyeshadow on my eyes because it gives me a more natural look. I don't think you really need any blush, so the final step would be some lip gloss! When you apply your makeup, i suggest getting some good brushes - they give you a more even and natural application and generally work so much better than sponges or the applicators that come with some makeup. GOOD LUCK! p.s. NEVER rub/pull your skin (WRINKLES)....always use a patting motion when applying moisturizer or foundation/concealer. Taking your makeup off properly is a must as well (try neutrogena makeup remover wipes).
  5. If you have a Herberger's any where near you, get your Mom to call and make an appointment with the Clinique place inside, and then talk to the lady about what kinda makeup you want, and all of your concerns, and since they are proffessionals, then they will be able to tell you what to do, and show you how to apply the makeup!!! I just started wearing it, and the proffesionals there really taught me a lot!!!! Hope this helps
  6. I've heard Clean and Clear is really good for light acne. As for makeup, you should start by buying some cream (not liquid because it's messy) concealer (sometimes labeled simply as "makeup"). Get it like a shade lighter than your skin. Put that on before any other makeup in the morning. Use it just on any pimples, discolorations, uneven skin, etc. Use your ring finger for light, unnoticeable coverage. Just that will make you look older and more polished. I like to finish a light look off by wearing either mascara (try brown) OR eyeliner (try gray). One coat of mascara on your upper lashes is plenty. And put the eyeliner as close to your lashes as possible. After that kind of rub your finger over the eyeliner, pushing it into your lashes. This makes it look really natural. If you don't like that, then put some soft pink blush on your cheeks. Just swirl a big brush into the blush, tap it to get rid of the excess color and then swipe it over the apples of your cheeks (the part where your cheekbones are and just under that). If it stands out too much, run your hand over it to blend it. A third option is to put some tinted (pink or red) gloss on your lips. The idea is to cover up the imperfections (with the concealer) and then make one of your features stand out (either your eyes, your cheeks, or your lips). This should take under five minutes to do after the first couple times (getting used to it) and it looks very natural. Tip: If you mess up, use a slightly damp q-tip to wipe off the mistake. Good luck! And remember that going light is the key to natural makeup. If you are in doubt, wipe it off or rub it a bit to blend it more.
  7. lip gloss.. that's what u need.. about acne u have to visit a doctor..
  8. All you need is foundation or concealer to hide those zits, mascara, maybe light eyeshadow at your tearducks, and light pink lip-gloss! Your guy friends wont really notice because there guys, DUH lol! And your girl friends WILL notice, DUH! lol! Hope I helped and best of luck!
  9. Out of all the foundations I have used in my life, Almay Smart Shade is by far the best! Makes your pores look really small, dosent sweat off easily, goes on smooth, blends nicely, and you don't have to use powder over it. Costs about 8-9 bucks and totally worth it! It dries out acne and helps get rid of it. Helped me! It is totally sheer it just basically evens out your skin tone. Since your fair skinned, they have 3 shades, light, med-light, and medium, get the lighest light. Then either some clear mascara or just a little light brown eyeliner to bring out your eyes and a little lipgloss won't take long at all and will be totally natural!
  10. mmmk well first of all a good cleanser from the clinique counter at your nearest department store like macys! it may take a couple of days both those pimples well soon be a thing of the past. you might wanna try a foundation from covergirl to start with, a clear mascara, and a m.a.c lipglass my personal fav. is called underage a baby pink color!!
  11. That's one long question lol! If u not really good wiv mascara- go for a clear on, coz if u do muck it up nobody can c it! Only u will know it's there! If u get a lengthing one that's clear, people mite think u have natural long lashes! But i dont know if that's standing out too much if people notice!? Just go for a gold eyeshadow, it'll make ur eyes seem more bluer & will will suit u skin tone. I wudnt go use foundation yet, just use concealer where u need it. Just put a lil on, dab it wiv ur finger (dont rub it) & set wiv sum powder, like translucent. Hope this is OK!
  12. bareminerals foundation and its pure use a non clump mascara light eyeshadow light brown blush
  13. wear some light eyeshawdow and lip gloss if you want no one to notice dont wear any at all then
