Teens be Cool and Best

Wash your face regularly using a mild cleanser and warm water. Be gentle—don't scrub hard! Avoid astringents, which can dry out and irritate skin.

Use only light, water-based moisturizers. Look for one that has SPF 15 or a higher number sunscreen.

For sensitive skin, try products that say "fragrance-free" or "without perfume". If you're allowed to wear makeup, use only water-based products that say "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic" on the label. Make sure to take off your makeup before going to bed.

To control acne, try over-the-counter products that you can buy without a doctor's order. These products come as gels, lotions, creams, and soaps. Your doctor can treat more serious acne problems.

Drink plenty of water
Always wear "broad-spectrum" sunscreen, which protects against UVA and UVB rays. Wear sunscreen even on cloudy days. SPF alone does not protect against these two types of harmful rays. Follow the directions on the bottle to put more on after a while. Wear lipscreen with at least SPF 15. And, your skin needs more than just sunscreen.

• Wear long-sleeve shirts, pants, and a hat.
• Stay in the shade.
• Stay out of the sun in the middle of the day, when rays are strongest.

Choose Attractive Eye Shadow Colors

Choose simple, natural colors that suit your skin and eye. Look for eye shadows that contrast with the shades of the eyes. Make sure that the colors chosen, not exactly match with the skin color.

For dark brown and black eyes, use brown or charcoal shadows. Khaki or brown shades with yellow undertones add beauty for green eyes. Blue eyes may wear soft browns, tans with sandy or pink undertones.

If you opt for bright or trendy colors, choose the suitable shade that balances with your skin color.

Always buy colors that blend well together. If you want your eyes attractive, impressive and no more marked lines caused by the shadow then buy blended colors.
Consider that light colors will make your eyes stand out while dark colors will minimize your eyes.

If bright shadows are applied, use them as wash over the eyelids to add other colors. As a beginner, start with light and little shadow so that the face looks beautiful.

Color Additives and Cosmetics

Color additives are subject to a strict system of approval under U.S. law. Except in the case of coal-tar hair dyes, failure to meet U.S. color additive requirements causes a cosmetic to be adulterated. Color additive violations are a common reason for detaining imported cosmetic products offered for entry into this country.

Some Basic RequirementsIf your product (except coal-tar hair dyes) contains a color additive, by law you must adhere to requirements for:

Approval. All color additives used in cosmetics (or any other FDA-regulated product) must be approved by FDA. There must be a regulation specifically addressing a substance's use as a color additive, specifications, and restrictions.

Certification. In addition to approval, a number of color additives must be batch certified by FDA if they are to be used in cosmetics (or any other FDA-regulated product) marketed in the U.S.

Identity and specifications. All color additives must meet the requirements for identity and specifications stated in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

Use and restrictions. Color additives may be used only for the intended uses stated in the regulations that pertain to them. The regulations also specify other restrictions for certain colors, such as the maximum permissible concentration in the finished product.

Useful Concealer Tips

The concealer should match the skin tone and it should be light shade. Make use of it to cover the dark circles around the eyes and discoloration on the face.

Make sure that you have covered the Nose Bridge and outer corner of the eyes where you tend to get dark areas.

The concealer should be applied over the foundation to cover the dark area and it should not be rubbed off.

The Concealer is not required to be used along with any makeup or powder. Just you required is little concealer and something on your lips. Ensure that the concealer is the same shade as your skin.

The Concealer should be applied as thinly as possible. You should not be too thick.

Even little concealer can be applied under the eyes if that area looks a bit dark.

Better don’t test concealer color on your hand. Match it to the skin on face or neck.
