You can try a bb cream instead of a heavy foundation and then set it with some translucent powder :)

If you aren't too pale then what Cassie said, maybe a light eyeliner or mascara and tinted gloss.

Yes don't go crazy with the makeup girl, because later when your older your going to really need it and ruin your natural beauty. Keep the makeup soft! Once in a while for special occasions go crazy with it if you'd like. :)) XO.

When I started wearing makeup, I didn't touch foundation or powder! I just used eyeliner and mascara! And eyeshadow for special occasions.. This was when I was 14... I just recently started using BB cream and I'm 23 now. I wouldn't touch any of the heavy stuff unless you need it! Just start messing around and see what works best with you!

Just use the essentials: Concealer, powder, blush (if needed), mascara and a lip balm/lip tint. Once you get used to using those and you decider you want a little more coverage then use BB cream as a foundation and maybe start using liquid eyeliner. I'm a beginner too, and I only use concealer and lip balm. I recommend Maybelline's FIT me concealer and Maybelline's Baby Lips!

Try a bb cream or tinted moisturizer, then use either a lightly tinted or translucent setting powder! I recommend the Rimmel Stay Matte!
