What were your make up looks as a teenager?

[littlepickle]

I know I had some shockers!! At age 14 I regularly wore an insanely bright pink with blue reflects covergirl lipstick along with matching nail polish. Around the same time I had that terrible eyeliner phase I think most of us have at some point

At 15 I was wearing silver eyeshadow and winged eyeliner every day and tinted red cheap and nasty lip gloss. I also received my first blush compact that year!
At 16-17 I wore winged liquid liner, heavy mascara and khol every single day, with foundation and gloss.
From age 18 - 20 I've been wearing pretty much everything I can get my hands on

i used to wear brown shadow on my inner lid and green on the oputer lid. no blending so it was terrible looking. i also used to use my brother black face paint as black eyeshadow and liner. again not blended so looked terrible! oh and talcum powder as a face powder and concealer all over my face like a foundation! this was from teh age of 14-17. then at 17 i started wearing just neaurals all the time. dark brown on the lid and flesh colour above

 

[littlepickle]

Ohhh yes I forgot the terrible unblended shadows

I had a phase of iridescent white shadow by itself. Of course it was a very crappy brand, dollar store kind of thing, and I just kept caking it on to try and get it to show up! And I had a reeeaally bad silver eyeliner ring all around my eyes stage. I still don't like wearing silver eyeliner now! Put myself off

 

[Holy Rapture]

Haha, these stories are funny! Oddly, as a teenager I didn't wear make up. People who know me now, don't believe it

I started wearing it in college and that too just kohl, mascara, lipstick or gloss. Thankfully, you can't mess those things

In middle school I had a real interest in frosted blue eyeshadow and concealer-nude lips. Somewhere in high school I suppose I went through a 'goth' phase? I would wear super-raccoon black eyeliner and red-ish blush as eyeshadow.. because I couldn't find red eyeshadow? I don't remember my logic behind it. It was lovely.

In my younger teen years I was into the whole "punk/rock scene", so my daily make-up would consist of jet black eyeshadow over the entire lid, no blending at all, and tons of black eyeliner

 

[LMD84]

oh and how could i possibly forget the super dark brown lipstick?! so sexy!

 

[tangledrose]

Oh god, my teenagers years were spent in the eighties. Nuff said. Mind you, I could blend those obligatory 4 eyeshadow colours like no one's business! I had a really cheap palette with heaps of colours and it was my mission every day to use really out there colour combinations.


Then came my goth stage. Nothing but black on the eyes and a classic red lipstick, pale foundation, no blush.

Now that I'm heading 40 (eeeepppp) I'm still likely to try some colour, me and liquid eyeliner are best buds, and I've bought my first blush. Ever!

I didn't wear anything too horrible in my teens. Mostly I just looked slightly yellow, since I could never find a foundation to match me and had to settle for the lightest available shade, which was always slightly too dark and too yellow for me.

 

[CellyCell]

Throughout High School I was very plain. Pencil liner and some mascara, bad colored chapstick lol and crap concealer.

In JR High I was more experimental I guess. Did the brown lip liner with white lipstick for a long while. A few years too long lol. Gross. Thank god I have no photo evidence AT ALL!

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I wore gothic style makeup. I had smudged black eyeliner all over my eyes and dark brown (almost black lipstick) on my lips. I wore no blush :/ I'm glad I grew outta that!

 

[Junkie]

I was in love with frosty eyeshadows - mostly light blue and silver so I'd wear those all over the lid with heavy black pencil lined on my lower lash and waterlines. Unblended and up to the crease only. I'd use mascara too - black - upper only. And my lips were mostly chapstick or flavoured balms. My foundation was always wrong - in the NW range (I'm NC naturally) so my face always looked overly made up.

And I didn't own a single make up brush until I was 22! I used those disposable sponge applicators forever! lol

I also did the red blush as eyeshadow - and any lipstick I bought was always matte and super dark berry colours! I didn't use blush til I was 21/22.

I also once used baby powder mixed with foundation for a more "full coverage" look one day. It snowed. When I got to school - it had all washed off into white and brown blobs all over my face that looked like I covered myself in putty! It was disgusting. I had to wash my face and go make-up-less at school that day!

 

[MizzMelroseMood]

I loved dark liplliner and light lips~like plum liner + baby pink lipstick and brown liner + pale nude lipstick lol. I loved those Maybelline cool effect cream shadows back then, they were super frosty and I'd wear white or baby blue from my lid to brows lol. I also loved matte brown blush and I had this super frosty pink lipgloss and a black liquid liner I'd always wear. I wore a ton of mascara and my lashes were way too much for my age/daytime. I also loved loose sparkles and would wear them packed on allover my lids lol.

Now I love neutral, nude, bronzey makeup.

lol

When my parents first let me wear makeup, it was all about the frosted aqua liner, frosted pink lipstick, and of course that CG powder compact. I wore that for an entire summer, and then smartly abandoned the look. I didn't wear any makeup until I got a job at 16 because I was too lazy to put on makeup before school, and even then, I only wore makeup to work. I'd just use a quick swipe of shadow (usually lilac or taupe), a little pink gloss, pinky blush, and mascara. That wasn't too terrible, but I still had no idea about blending.

When I was about 12-13, I used to put on this white frosted liquid eyeshadow all over my lid and then on the outer half I would put a dark pink over it. A completely straight line where the colours met.

I found it online! I would use Maybelline Liquid Stay Eyeshadow in Forever Frost 10
The pink was from a Revlon pink eyeshadow quad from something like a CCO in Cheshire Oaks.

I was a teenager in the 80's and I'm horrified to admit that my everyday makeup staple was...

WHITE LIPSTICK!!!

LMAO!! Not even a sheer lippie, oh no it was thick and creamy LOL

 

[abbyquack]

Haha this is a good thread!! I wore turquoise eyeliner and silver lipgloss for a while in middle school. Hs was more about pink and purple eyeshadow and ivory liner. I used a thick ivory liner pencil from sephora. It was at the time though when sephora was really scarce so I had to wait to go to NYC if I needed a new one. Nowadays sephora is everywhere it seems! My makeup wasn't horrible, at least for my age. But I am glad I have improved a
bit!

I went through a bright blue mascara and loose glitter on the lids faze... I guess it could have been worse.

 

[tara_hearts]

omg.. i swear i had 3 tubes of wet and wild lipstick. One was white. One was baby blue (who's idea was that?) and one was glitter. I think I was like 13. I found a picture of me wearing the blue one and it looked like I had hypothermia. Wtf was wrong with me.

 

[obscuria]

For the most part, the only thing I wore in high school was press powder. And when I started to get into makeup I went eyeliner crazy.

Middle school I was suckered into the glitter lipgloss craze. Haha.
