What were your make up looks as a teenager?

[Vlcatko]

Ummm... Nothing?

No, wait - if you count lipgloss/lipbalm as a makeup look then that would be it. But most of the days not even that. I was just buying them, not using them

However I used to have an awful bushy unibrow for a really looong time

Then in my late teens (18-19) I made the effert once in a blue moon (proms, dancing balls...) and attempted a look with gold/brown eyeshadow trio from Bourjois (do you know their e/s trios? The ones in the crescent shaped pan?) - I do not think I did that bad, I had the right colors, I had the right placement but with the wrong tools and no base it made almost no difference

I think I really started wearing makeup when I was well out of my 25th year and by then YouTube full of helpful videos and my love for natural/neutral looks helped me

 

[crashingg]

still a teenager, and i wear just about anything haha. makeup on a lazy day is cat eyeliner though

in middle school i just wore a lot of eyeliner.

a couple years ago freshman year hs (now senior), i used to just put some brown cream shadow and black liner on my waterline and lashline. it creased and smudged within like 2 hours. lmao. i also wore rimmel's liquid foundation and had no concealer so I'd just put shitloads in places that needed more coverage xD

 

[Boasorte]

whats with everyone and black lpstick?!?!?!" Did y'all really wear that outside????? LMAO

This thread is so funny. I was a teenager in the 80's. I remember how I used to LOVE my Dial-A-Lash mascara. I just thought that was the coolest thing. I also used tons of Bonnie Bell lip smackers (the solid ones). And I liked the clear,wet, roll-on Bonnie Bell glosses. I loved having my lips look really wet and shiny!

When i was about 14 i went through a "scene" faze and i did really thick black eyeliner with black eyeshadow on top. I actually got tons of compliments on it. >.<

I never did anything (too) crazy, i've read fashion magazines since i was 12, and my mom taught me alot, i kinda wish she let me discover on my own, lol.

Now i'm 17 and my makeup is waaay better, thankfully.

 

[westindiesangel]

I used to wear way too much thick foundation (Revlon Colourstay) all over my face applied with my fingers! I finally figured out it was way too apparent and stopped.

Also, can't forget the raccoon eyeliner everyday to school. Really thick, on the top and bottom lash lines along with mascara. Really, what was I thinking? Heavy eyeliner like that I only wear when I'm going out to the club or something, lol. I must have looked crazy walking the halls like that...

Luckily I cured most of my embarrassing habits by the time I hit 16/17. I don't think I did anything too funky though!

one word. Painful.

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'm 1 yr older then you so I was a teen in the 80's too. Do you remember the Aziza jumbo eyeshadow pencils and the look they had with the 3 colors in the corner up to the brow? I remember the add had a pale turquoise, cotton candy pink and I think a pale butter yellow color. It was like stripes on the corner area and you had as far as I remember one color on the lid. I did that look alot

Oh yeah and the mood lipstick that was green or blue that changed almost ALWAYS to a hot pink no matter what. I think I bought mine at Spencers

 

[purrtykitty]

^^I bought my Mood Lipstick at a bowling alley, lol.

Revlon Streetwear, anyone? I loved the jumbo dual-sided pencils and the nail polish.

Haha this is almost exactly what I was going to write! It's almost scary... Definitely remember that Champagne e/s from CG

I can't remember how many I went through.

I remember having a silver lipgloss that I just adored. My mom was a make up artist around the time I was born so I had a little bit of direction. Although, I used to hate when she would suggest that I put some shadow in my crease, I just thought that seemed crazy.

Now - I don't think a day goes by where I don't have my crease defined. Haha.

 

[sinergy]

was the revlon street wear the different colored stuff like purples and blues and greens? my sister and i had a bunch of that!

so yea teen in the 90s did the whole matte lighter powdered face heavy eyeliner and mascara and dark lips. i wore that for a very long time used to use just neutrals and bronzey colors on my eyes but always wore a ton of eyeliner and mascara. never was a blush user until i was older..i used those classic dark colored lipsticks everyone had..one from wet n wild i think it was like a 508? im not sure but everyone i knew owned it! and blackberry from revlon, spice from l'oreal, just dark lip liner and dark lips haha. for awhile i was into a more nude lip then i used i think it was natures blush lipstick from l'oreal. such a pretty nude but still kind of dark...

o man those were the days. of course my makeup had to come along with the permed hair with my bangs hair sprayed to look like a half moon straight up from my forehead..sheesh..

 

[Simply Elegant]

Mine wasn't too bad. Light pink on the lid with a dark purple in the crease and a cream colour for a highlight with light pink glowy cheeks and light pink gloss.

 

[Flaminbird]

Yes I remember the Revlon Street Wear. My other favorite was I think when I was a bit younger before any makeup and that was Kissing Potion in Cola flavor. Dummy me thought "all the boys will want to kiss me if I get that" so I had my mom take me to Thrift Drug to get it. I also had to have "Gee your hair smells Terrific" shampoo thinking again....all the boys at school would do just want the boys did in the commercial. Much to my dismay again....not one single boy said anything the next day at school! I was pretty gullible huh! LOL! So funny when I think back about it now.

 

[Shanti]

I kinda wish mine were as entertaining as yours', but my teens weren't that long ago. Mind you I started wearing really purple and pink lip stuff since I was 11. =_=

Middle school: Terrible. Grade 7 was all about the princessy pink and purple shadows with glittery, frosty, pink lipgloss, everything Bonnebell or Caboodles. My eyes looked totally bruised all the time, lol. Grade 8 was a bit better: all I really wore was shimmery light purple for everything. Still kept the sparkly lipgloss though, and I remember really loving the brand Naturistics (Miss Kiss gloss pens! gloss quads!)

Freshman/sophomore year: pure ick. I started experimenting again with bright colours. I wore my mom's Lancome shadows all the time, especially the dark purple and blue. I also loved those N.Y.C. Eye Dusts in gold and pink paired with heavy ass eyeliner on my lower lashes. I thought it looked sexy, LOL. But it was sooo... bad.
Junior year: not as bad as before, if I wore makeup I usually stuck to bronze/neutral/warm tones. But once in a while I'd whip out the FCUK turquoise mascara, it looked so ugly, Idk WTF I was thinking with that stuff.
Senior year: I became a LOT better with application since I also started buying lots of MAC and using actual brushes. I still have old pics of looks I wore. I wore everything from neutral tones to bright blues, and I started wearing blush and false lashes on occasion.
I actually think my shadow application was better THEN than it is now. =P My makeup has become sooo boring since getting out of my teens.

 

[Susanne]

I loved blue e/s on the lid. Just blue e/s, no blending at all

With black mascara.

And I have worn lots of foundation, but no blush.

 

[LMD84]

oh another thing i liked to wear was a silver loose shadow from avon... it was like 20 years old and belonged to my mum! most likely riddled with bacteria!

 

[Miss QQ]

I didn't wear much makeup as a teenager. My school was strict and my mum does not wear makeup. Fortunately, I learned quickly by 17 and started with sheer lip glosses, then pink blushes, pink lipsticks, mascara and concealer for my dark eye circles.

 

[anita22]

I had pretty bad acne as a teenager, god I used to pile on the concealer, powder, etc. Luckily since then I've realised a) the wonder of prescription acne medication and b) that less is more.

 

[BEA2LS]

i went through different phases. in middle school it was just powder, gloss, mascara.
freshman year of hs - fully done up, smokey eyes, concealor type lips. but i was actually wasn't bad at makeup, i wish i still had the motivation to get up early and do that haha. mostly grey/black eye shadows
sophmore year - eye-liner, lipstick (pinks)
junior year - more of the smokey eyes
senior year - i was into browns and than later on glittery eyes
in college i experiemented with different brands and colors but when i was around 21 i had a thing for sparkly eyes and lip gloss (urban decay, juicy tubes, any and all lip gloss)

now im pretty low key - washes of eyeshadow, gel liner, blush, lipstick, the usual

 

[MrsAriGold]

I started wearing makeup at 13 and I was mainly wearing just thick eyeliner and mascara with lipsmackers.
At about 15 I really got into roll on frosted blue/white eyeshadow (unblended of course, just rolled on until there was a thick layer of colour), and foundation that was always too dark for me.

The main thing I remember though, was always wearing glitter. Either as an eyeshadow or on my cheekbones as a highlighter. I must have looked like a disco ball!
