SPECIAL FOCUS: TEEN TALK

Our in-depth look at teenagers and the things that affect their lives, from exam stress to skin issues and more

1. Begin with a clean canvas. Always start with clean skin. 2. Colour-correct. Use a green concealer to reduce redness. Go easy; too much product will cake and look bad.

3. Foundation. Place a 50-cent-piece amount t on the back of your hand. Dab it on different t sections of your face and then use a sponge e to blend it out.

4. Under-eye concealer. Apply with a brush or r your ring finger. Be gentle; less is more.

5. Set your base. Use a big brush and powder to set the canvas you’ve created.

6. Contour. Create shape and depth with bronzer. Find your cheekbones and contour just beneath them.

7. Create a flush with blush. Peachy coloured blushes complement most skin tones. Start at the apple of your cheeks and move out along ong the cheek bone bone.

8.

Highlight. Create a “C” in highlighter by starting at y your temple and following your cheekbone down to just j above your cheeks.

9 9.

Enhance your eyebrows. Brush them up and then to the t side so they’re even and neat. Fill in the gaps with a pencil using small strokes that follow the direction of hair h growth. Stay light in the centre (near your nose) and get darker towards the end of your brows.

10.

Eyeshadow. Use a single colour. Peachy champagne or rose gold colours are great. Trace the socket and colour the eyeball area only – don’t go too high. Blend well!

11.

Eyelashes. Curl your lashes and then apply mascara using a zig-zag motion. Brown eye pencil is best. Apply it on the inner eye only to stay natural.

12.

Lips. Tinted lip glosses are perfect and they’ll help keep your lips hydrated. Choose a tint

close to your natural lip colour.
