Makeup for girls - simple rules. Makeup tips: how to do professional makeup for a girl

We all want the best for our children. We carefully monitor their nutrition, education and pastime. But few of us think about WHAT we wash our precious children with. A nuclear mixture of petroleum products, preservatives, dyes, chemical fragrances ... this is not the whole list of what is called children's cosmetics in our time. But what to do - you say - really leave the children unwashed? There is a great way out - to make cosmetics for children with their own hands. Such cosmetics will help not only keep the baby clean, but also improve his sleep, solve skin and hair problems. Let `s start?

The first recipe is LAVENDER SOAP.

Gentle, nourishing, with a soothing aroma, it will appeal to both mother and baby.

We will need:

Baby soap (no fragrance, the simplest),

1 teaspoon dry milk

1 teaspoon sugar (you can cane) or honey,

A decoction of chamomile, string and thyme,

1 teaspoon peach oil

3-7 drops of natural lavender essential oil.

How to do:

Make an infusion of herbs in advance: pour chamomile, string and thyme with 1 glass of water, bring to a boil, let it brew for about an hour. Let's prepare a water bath (take water into a saucepan, put on fire. Put a smaller saucepan inside). Grate soap, put in a saucepan. Add a little decoction, honey or sugar. Gently stir the soap until it melts. Gradually adding the broth, bring the soap to the consistency of sour cream. Remove mixture from heat, add peach oil, milk powder and lavender essential oil. Mix well and quickly pour into molds. You can take any forms - from sandbox molds to cake boxes. After complete solidification, remove from the mold, and let the soap mature at room temperature for 1-2 days.

This soap can wash babies from 1 month of age. For very young children, it is better not to add honey, but to replace it with sugar.

Not all baby creams are created equal! I bring to your attention a useful substitute for baby cream - CHOCOLATE MASSAGE TILE. Delicate oil is easily absorbed, and the chocolate aroma will not leave any baby indifferent.

We will need:

Solid cocoa butter unrefined 60 grams,

Beeswax 10 grams,

30 grams of cosmetic oils (peach, almond).

How to do:

Melt the wax in a water bath. Constantly stirring with a paddle, add solid cocoa butter (pre-crush) and cosmetic oils to the wax. DO NOT OVERHEAT! after complete dissolution of cocoa butter, pour the prepared mixture into molds and leave until completely solidified. To speed up the process, you can put the molds in the refrigerator.

After bathing, massage the baby with tiles. The body heat melts the oils and nourishes the baby's skin, giving it a wonderful aroma of white chocolate.

Fizzy BATH BOMB.

Cheerful figurines, dissolving in water with a hiss and seething, filling the bathroom with fruity aromas - the ultimate dream of any kid. Give him a gift - a bubbling bath bomb.

We will need:

Baking soda 1 cup

Citric acid half a cup,

Powdered milk 1 teaspoon,

Peach oil 1 teaspoon,

food coloring (optional)

Spray with water

Essential oils of lemon, orange, mandarin.

How to do:

Thoroughly grind citric acid with soda. Add dry milk, stir.

Pour in peach oil, dye and, sprinkling the mixture with water, rub the mixture in your hands until it looks like wet sand. That is, such a consistency at which the mixture, compressed in the hand, will not crumble. After that, add 4-5 drops of essential oil, mix and compact the mixture tightly into molds. Both molds for sand and special molds for bombs, which can be bought at soap shops, will do. Leave the bombs to dry at room temperature overnight.

Our children deserve the best. A fragrant soap, a fizzy bomb and a chocolate bar, made by caring mother's hands, will give your kids health and good mood!

All girls want to be like their mother: put on beautiful dresses, shoes, have their own handbag and, of course, their own cosmetic bag. Do not deprive your little miss of such pleasure! But at the same time, every mother should know the basic rules of the first make-up: it should be appropriate and safe. In these matters, it helps us to understand professional children's make-up artist-stylist Olesya Tulnikova, Tyumen.

Children's cosmetic bag

Can I use cosmetics from my cosmetic bag for my daughter 7-10 years old? If you use hypoallergenic light cosmetics, then the answer is yes. We are talking about natural and harmless mineral-based products. Such cosmetic products can be found under the following brands:

– Jane Iredale

– Bare Minerals;

– Everyday Minerals;

– Lumiere Mineral.

You can put these products in a children's cosmetic bag:

– mineral blush;

- light pink or lilac shimmering shadows;

- several lip balms with different flavors;

- pink lip gloss;

Choose only high-quality cosmetics for the child. The approach “What difference does it make, she’s a child” is fundamentally wrong: products with a low price are usually of poor quality and can harm delicate children's skin.

The main principle of children's makeup

It is very important to feel the fine line between children's, teenage and adult makeup. The main principle of children's makeup is naturalness. Even with a make-up, the child should look as natural as possible, look like himself and correspond to his age. Do not get carried away with daily makeup for a girl of 7-12 years old. It is better to wait until the daughter is at least 13 years old.

Little girls are adorable and adorable even without makeup. They are so natural! Tons of cosmetics will only spoil the delicate image. However, there are cases when makeup is indispensable.

Photo shoot star

The most common case when children need makeup is photo shoots. Scratches and specks on the face, dark circles under the eyes - all these temporary flaws can reduce the level of natural attractiveness of the young princess. Therefore, it is better to “erase” them with the help of cosmetics. In addition, it does not hurt to emphasize the brightness of the eye and the freshness of the lips, so that the photographs are a success by five points.

If you do not understand such nuances, it is better to entrust it to specialists. A professional make-up artist knows how to correctly emphasize the dignity of the child and hide the flaws that will be visible in the photographs.

Parties and themed events

Makeup for children's parties does not require such care and special knowledge as for photo shoots. Any mom who herself at least once held blush, mascara and lip gloss in her hands is able to make up her child.

The very process of creating an image is already entertainment for girls. You can invite a professional makeup artist or face painting specialist to thematic events. Make a doll out of your daughter, a funny tiger cub or please her with figures of animals on her face? It all depends on the imagination - yours, your daughter and the artist.

Mom can do everything!

Light children's makeup is within the power of every mom and is suitable for any special occasion.

Make-up for daughter from make-up artist-stylist Olesya Tulnikova:

– Apply the mineral foundation (powder) all over the face with a soft, fluffy brush. If a child has a problem of bruising under the eyes, take a thinner brush and work with it locally, because such a tool also works as a corrector.

– With the pad of your finger, gently apply liquid eye shadow or tint in pearl, rose or gold to the middle of the eyelid. Blend with light patting movements all over the moving eyelid.

– Using a soft powder brush, apply pink or peach blush to the apples of your cheeks.

- Use a clear brow gel to style your brows.

When adult women or teenagers dye their hair, eyes and lips, this is customary and does not cause resentment. But when makeup appears on the face of children, it becomes somewhat unexpected. There are times when children's makeup is simply necessary, and it is better to prepare for such situations. Let's look at the intricacies of creating an image for babies.

Using foundation

In young children, the skin of the face is usually smooth and even, so for a normal everyday look, neither foundation nor powder is required. If we talk about older teenagers, their skin is unpredictable and imperfections, such as acne, appear on it. Such manifestations should be masked with cosmetics. In the case of a photo shoot or other event, even schoolgirls are advised to apply a small amount of corrector and powder.

To perform professional children's makeup, it is recommended to use a water-based foundation. The corners of the eyes, the wings of the nose and the corners of the lips are places where the skin color is slightly lighter than the main tone. Next, a matting tonal base is applied with patting movements. In order for the foundation to lay better, it is recommended to mix it with the moisturizer that the child usually uses. This will moisturize the skin and give it an even color. From above, the base is covered with a thin layer of transparent or pinkish loose powder.

How to paint eyes

To give the image a final touch, you should shade the eyes of a little lady. For this, light shades of shadows are suitable, but it is better to refuse black mascara. It is better to give preference to gray or brown eyelashes, this will emphasize the youth and tenderness of the face. Everyday children's makeup does not tolerate the drawing of arrows with eyeliner, it is enough to tint the outer corner of the eyelid with a dark pencil, but the main thing is not to overdo it.

It is important that all cosmetics are natural and do not cause irritation and other allergic reactions of the child's body. In addition, when applying eyeliner, the baby can suddenly open her eye, which is fraught with unpleasant consequences. For a special event, you can use face painting.

Highlight lips

If the baby is under 10 years old, it is better to give preference to a colorless gloss, since it is less toxic. At this age, a child's smile is charming without additional cosmetics. To apply a thin layer of gloss, you should ask the crumbs to slightly open the lips, but in no case stretch them.

If parents forbid the use of any decorative cosmetics at such a young age, it is recommended to replace the shine with olive oil and loose sparkles. The resulting image is very festive and safe. Teenage girls can already use their mother's lipstick, but light shades should be preferred. In no case should you paint your lips with bright red or scarlet colors, it looks ridiculous and vulgar.

After the holiday, it is recommended to thoroughly wash off the cosmetics. Parents should tell their daughters about the inept use of cosmetics and its harmful effects on the skin of a young beauty. So that the child has an idea about the principles of applying makeup, show the appropriate photos and videos.

When does a child need makeup?

Of course, the regular use of cosmetics by little girls will eventually result in a series of unpleasant consequences, because young skin is not used to such loads. In the future, there will be a lot of cosmetic problems. In addition, a bright make-up on a pretty face is vulgar and completely ugly.

But in life there are times when children's makeup is simply necessary:

Holidays. This can be an interesting image for the New Year, March 8, Halloween and other events. A special face painting will help to complete the original make-up;

Performances. For girls, stage performances are the only case when a child's image should be bright and rich. Parents should master the technique of applying a bright make-up if the child is engaged in singing, dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, etc. Otherwise, the baby runs the risk of looking like a gray mouse;

PHOTOSESSION. In front of a professional camera, even children's skin can be imperfect. A light make-up will help to eliminate defects and give a special charm.

The main principle is not to make an artificial doll out of a child. It is important that the child maintains a cute and spontaneous image, regardless of the amount of makeup on the face. You can learn more about the technique of daily makeup in the video.

The subtleties of applying makeup for different occasions

PHOTOSESSION

If we talk about a photo shoot, then at the moment professional shooting is available to everyone, and even to children. This allows you to capture vivid and memorable events in life. Parents want to prolong the tender age of their children, to leave as many memories of it as possible.

In front of the camera, the child appears at its best, and it is important to do so. But to perform a make-up and give the image originality, it is recommended to order the services of a professional makeup artist. If desired, parents can experiment and turn the preparation for a photo shoot into an exciting game that will bring positive emotions and set the baby in a positive mood.

Depending on age, the rules for applying makeup change. For little ladies up to 6 years old, no cosmetics are required, as the skin is too sensitive and delicate. Starting from the age of 7-8, it is recommended to use natural remedies and perform minimal intervention.

As a tonal base, a light water-based or oxygen-based cream is suitable. It is applied with light patting movements on the cleansed skin of the baby's face. From above, you should walk all over the face with loose powder. At this age, imperfections and acne rarely appear, but if they are present, a corrector will be required. Cheeks should be decorated with soft pink blush. For eyelashes, a transparent gel is suitable, but mascara will have to be abandoned.

The lips of the crumbs will be decorated with a transparent or pale pink gloss. The main thing is not to create the effect of a glass mouth. That's all. The task of children's makeup is to emphasize the natural charm and good looks of a small face.

Girls of older and teenage age are allowed to apply adult cosmetics, including full-fledged tonal foundations, shadows, blush of a suitable shade, mascara and lipstick. Since age is characterized by hormonal changes in the body, numerous defects appear on the skin, which should be masked with a corrector.

Face art

To perform in the style of weiss art, a completely different, brighter cosmetics is used. Face painting is completely safe for children's skin, does not cause irritation and does not clog pores, while it has a rich color and dense texture. It is easy to remove it - warm water is enough, and there will be no trace of the make-up.

It allows you to draw bright patterns and a mask of any animal. But such an image is difficult to create without practice and training. It is recommended to contact a face painting specialist. But if you want to create an interesting make-up for a child with your own hands, you should purchase a special set and practice before the holiday. Children love face painting for its brightness and the ability to transform into any fabulous and real character.

The only condition is not to save on the quality of cosmetics. Cheap products are potentially dangerous for children's skin and can cause an allergic reaction.

stage image

To make the facial features look clear and expressive from the stage, the make-up focuses on the contours. It is forbidden to use low quality cosmetics and defiant shades.

In adolescence, girls begin to pay more and more attention to their own appearance. They try to use decorative cosmetics to make their own make-up. They carefully try not only to embellish themselves, but also to hide all kinds of rashes and irritations that at their age appear again and again.

Some mothers believe that children are absolutely not needed. And they are absolutely right. It is much more important to teach the baby to use products for everyday face care from an early age.

When does a child need makeup?

And yet there are moments in life when a little girl needs makeup. Maybe your girl is into an impressive sport like rhythmic gymnastics, figure skating, or synchronized swimming. Or maybe she takes part in ballroom dancing competitions or studies at a modeling school and often falls under the lenses of cameras and camcorders? All these hobbies involve the use of make-up during performances. In addition, in adolescence, children have their first graduation party - they complete elementary school. On this kind of holiday, girls want to be especially attractive. Yes, and the Christmas holidays with their colorful costumes or a striking birthday costume also force young beauties to think about makeup in advance.

Almost always, teenagers make themselves the so-called "school" make-up. Unlike club or solemn, it implies a more restrained image. But not all girls clearly understand what it should be. The goal of the girl's mother at the same time is to examine the make-up for compliance with the place, to figure out for herself what is for children to school, and to teach her daughter these basics. She should be able to choose such an option that will help the young beauty feel more mature, more confident, more beautiful and more individual.

The first steps in teen makeup

The first thing to do is to help your daughter get all the tools, materials, cosmetics needed for make-up, and in addition, thematic educational books and magazines about beauty and fashion. In them, the child will be able to find useful information about the main types of facial structure, skin types and recommendations on how to learn to highlight and emphasize the most advantageous characteristic features of their own appearance.

Everyday makeup for children should have an emphasis on well-groomed skin, as a result of which great attention should be paid primarily to healing cosmetics. Youthful skin is prone to the formation of various rashes on it, including acne. Tonics, gels, mousses for washing, lotions, creams and other means for daily cleaning and moisturizing of the skin should be chosen taking into account this teenage feature.

What you need to have in the arsenal for creating children's makeup

Makeup for schoolchildren can be applied with the same devices as an adult. In the stock of any young girl, there should be powder, bronzer, foundation, lipstick and balm or lip gloss. It will not be superfluous to also purchase a special eyebrow brush, eyelash curlers and tweezers to remove unwanted hairs.

Makeup for children requires a fairly large assortment of decorative cosmetics, because a make-up for a secondary educational institution involves the use of cosmetics in exceptionally calm and as natural shades as possible, and for going out and all kinds of experiments with appearance, opposite makeup options using saturated colors will be appropriate. .

Festive make-up for a girl

What will be the solemn make-up of a teenage girl depends on the theme of the celebration. If this is New Year or Halloween, and a carnival outfit is meant, then the make-up must match the selected costume. Often, in such cases, a special make-up is used, which is referred to as "face art" or "face painting". To create it, makeup is used, which has a water base.

Many schoolchildren simply do not have a soul in “facial makeup”, because thanks to him you can practically transform into a vampire or a snow princess in a matter of seconds. Sequins and all kinds of iridescent sequins and rhinestones glued on top will serve as a great addition to this makeup. After using such a make-up, the girl's face must be thoroughly cleaned with cosmetic milk or other makeup removers.

Halloween Ideas

For Halloween, a neutral make-up, of course, will not work. In this case, you need to do something more expressive. It is on such a day that a little girl can make up in bright colors, and no one will consider it wrong or vulgar. What recommendations should be followed to make for children?

  • Firstly, choose concealer, powder and foundation a few tones lighter than your skin, because after all, vampires are usually associated with us first of all with noble pallor.
  • Eyebrows for such an image are not needed at all. Agree, their absence is often frightening and gives a person a rather unpresentable appearance. This is the image that will suit us on this day. Fully cover the eyebrows with concealer, apply foundation biocream on the face with a sponge, and on top of it several layers of powder to make the skin tone more even.
  • Apply dark coffee shadows on the moving eyelid. In the process, you can go beyond the boundaries of the line separating the movable and fixed eyelids.
  • Move the moving eyelid with a white pencil, and on top of it, apply a transparent gloss (allowed with sparkles), which will act as an adhesive base.
  • Take your silver eye glitter and spread it evenly over the wet glitter all over your lid.
  • Smoky shadows can emphasize the area that divides the movable and fixed eyelids. To do this, apply darkish-coffee on the lower eyelid along the lash line.
  • Highlight the inner corners of the eyes with persistent golden shadows.
  • In the direction of the growth of the eyelashes on the upper and lower eyelids, use a watery superliner. With a black pencil, highlight the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid.
  • Mix several shades of shadows. In this case, red and coffee would be appropriate. Apply them to the area of ​​the lower eyelid, and with chocolate shadows highlight the contour of the nose and the beginning of the eyebrow.
  • Line the eyebrow figuratively with a superliner or water-based eyeliner. Give it the look you like the most. Well, or the one that will look the most creepy.
  • Apply blush or bronzer to your cheekbones, and glue lush and incredibly long false cilia on the upper and lower eyelids.
  • Apply a dark shade of lipstick (you can even use black), and cover it with fuchsia lip gloss.
  • Don't forget to also insert sharp teeth, because a vampire without fangs is not a vampire. Form smudges of blood near the mouth and, if desired, insert multi-colored contact lenses to become a true copy of the vampire.

Makeup for the little princess for the most magical holiday of the year

Now let's talk about what kind of makeup for children can be done for the New Year. After all, this is the best time to look stunning. Of course, make-up should be done strictly under the supervision of parents or an older sister. Next, we list 5 basic rules for creating a children's make-up for the New Year.

Brows. You should not tint them with a pencil, and even more so you do not need to paint them with special paint. On a small child, this will look vulgar, which means that such actions are completely inappropriate. It is only allowed to comb the eyebrows with a brush and fix their shape with a colorless gel.

Tone. Do not use foundation or a lot of concealer when creating. The use of a corrector is acceptable, but only to hide the cons and imperfections (if, for example, the daughter has already experienced adolescence with all the accompanying skin problems). This will be enough to make beautiful makeup for children.

Eyelashes. They can be slightly tinted, it is better to focus on the length, not the splendor. Just apply some mascara to the ends of your lashes. Excessive use of mascara will make the look unnatural, and the child does not need it at all.

eyelids. Apply some silver glitter eyeshadow. Do not get carried away and do not use Try to match the image to the age of the baby and not make her older than her years.

Lips. Lipstick is not a mandatory component when creating children's makeup. It is better to apply a little barely noticeable shine to the lips of a young lady. You can use glitter with shimmer. In terms of colors, it is better to give preference to such shades as pinkish, coral or beige. But the red color should be abandoned, because makeup for the New Year for children should not be very bright.

As she grows older, the girl increasingly shows a desire to make up. This is due to the peculiarities of psychological development, because there comes a period when it is very important for a girl to look no worse than her girlfriends, as well as the first impulses to please the boys. If you treat such desires negatively, nothing good will come of it. The well-known spirit of contradiction will work, which rages especially brightly in teenagers.

No matter how strongly the parents forbid it, the daughter will still put on makeup, but not at home, but at school during a break or even on the street. And whether her makeup will match the age and situation is a rather moot point.

The first steps in mastering the art of being a woman

Around the age of 9 or 10, most girls have an active desire to put on makeup. This is a signal for the mother that it is time to tell her daughter about the features of young skin care and the specifics of the use of decorative cosmetics for girls.

Makeup for school and for a holiday are two radically different things.

The first thing to learn is that makeup can be everyday and festive.

  • Everyday can be applied every day. It should not be bright and defiant, but only slightly emphasizing the natural beauty of the girl. The goal is not to get a painted doll, sometimes even having a vulgar look, but to present dignity as profitably as possible. No need to underline everything!
  • Festive makeup is used for special occasions. At the age of 10, such an occasion may be an autumn ball or a New Year. This version of the make-up already allows bright colors, rich shades, application contrast. A similar option is also used for girls at various theatrical and sports performances, where they need to look more impressive for filming with a photo and video camera.

Teaching a sense of proportion

Of course, you can make up at the age of 10, but this does not mean at all that several layers of cosmetics on a child's face are very cool. In adolescence, there is still no sense of proportion, young princesses of 10-13 years old are prone to excesses and it is possible to adequately assess the need to use this or that cosmetic product only together with an adult.

Do not forbid your daughter decorative cosmetics, become her real friend and teach her how to use it correctly.

A small cheat sheet, reminiscent of which decorative cosmetics are allowed and which are strictly forbidden to teenagers.

  • Lip gloss - transparent or light shade: pink, peach;
  • Mascara - black or brown, always applied in a thin layer;
  • Blush - pink or peach, only with significant pallor of the skin. Apply without contrasting borders;
  • Powder - use sparingly. Allowed to mask acne at 12 - 14 years. It is important to be careful not to overdo it when applying. Be sure to wash off daily, otherwise the pores will become clogged and the skin condition will worsen.

Absolutely forbidden for everyday makeup:

  • Red lipstick, or any other bright, saturated;
  • Oily eyeliner;
  • Foundation;
  • Eye shadows of a pronounced color.

Learn to appreciate natural beauty in your youth, leave the "heavy artillery" for later, and now enjoy your youth.

Create a festive look

For a holiday, whether it's an autumn ball or the New Year, you can afford a much larger arsenal of cosmetics. Festive makeup allows bold, bright, and sometimes even extravagant tones. If necessary, you can use shimmering powder with shining particles, it will give the image irresistibility.

The emphasis in makeup is best done on the eyes, although lipstick is allowed, it is much less appropriate for young girls.

For lips, the best option is a transparent gloss. Bright red or pink lipstick can be applied to a festive ball, but visually it ages and you can add 10 extra years.

We recommend making up the eyes using the popular smoky eyes technique, which creates an expressive look of a cat. This is just the perfect accentuation of the beauty and irresistibility of girlish eyes. Going to the ball, the girl with the eyes of a cat will become the queen of the evening.


And to make big, expressive and attractive eyes like a cat for the New Year without mistakes, you need to use a simple instruction:

  1. Pick up the shadow gradient in the desired color scheme. To create a cat look for blondes, gray and blue shadows work especially well. Brunettes can turn to bronze shades.
  2. Draw a line along the upper lash line with an eyeliner.
  3. Apply and then blend eyeshadows of different colors with a brush. No pronounced boundaries.

The magic of the look of a cat is given by mother-of-pearl or silvery shadows applied to the protruding part of the upper eyelid and the corner of the eye.

  1. Line the lower eyelid with a pencil.
  2. Apply mascara to eyelashes.

For the New Year, a girl can afford any, even the most daring experiments with her appearance. For example, use false eyelashes, bright colored mascara, apply shadows of absolutely contrasting colors. The main thing is not to forget that cosmetics decorate, but the main attraction still radiates the radiance of the eyes.
