Of course there are no rules for what you can wear or use, but if you're looking for simple makeup for teenagers, these teen makeup tips will help you learn what to start having in your makeup kit and how to get an easy natural makeup look.

1. Primer

If you have oily skin, and you're going to be applying some foundation or coverage, you could want to start with a primer so your base can stay on longer. This one is a really option, it also has a nice blurring effect. You don't have to apply it on the entire face, just the areas that get oily.

Now for foundation or your base if you want some coverage, your can for a light CC or BB cream or even a light watery foundation. You can also get one with SPF to protect your skin. As for application, if you want a simple natural look, you can apply the product only on places where you feel you need coverage and then blend it out so it fades into the skin. You can use your fingers for blending, they're a great tool, just apply little by little and build up. You can also use a beauty blender for a really nice natural seamless look.

3. Concealer

Concealer can help you do some extra coverage if you want to, for blemishes or dark circles, or even be a great option if you want to skip foundation all together. After moisturizing or priming, apply or dot concealer around the face and/or focus on areas that you want to perfect. With a medium sized blending brush, your fingers, or a mini beauty blender, blend the concealer into the skin using patting and outwards motions.
