What brands of make up do your teenage DD recommend?

DD is 13 and started to wear a little make up - just mascara and some concealer for the odd blemish.

Concealer is a boots own one with witchhazel or tea tree which she's ok with. Can't remember which mascara she picked out.

Anyway, she's asked for a few bits for Xmas - so was going to get her some mascara and lip gloss. (She was keen to get the wake me up concealer, but when I read the reviews it gave some people skin irritation and since she has sensitive skin, probably best to avoid.)

Be good to hear what brands your girl's like.
TIA

Have a look at Boots Natural Collection range which isn't ££ at all.

Both DDs like Maybelline Rocket mascara, Collection concealer (DD 1 has very pale skin and this does a Fair colour), Mac eye shadow and No. 7 lip gloss. DD2 occasionally wears No.7 tinted moisturiser. DD1 wears foundation but struggles to find the right one as she has very pale skin and bad acne.

Bb cream ( aldi one is fine) .

The urban decay naked palettes are very popular as a more expensive gift, they also love the naked blush palette. For concealers both mine have tried loads and they agree with Hells that collection is the best. Dd is of the opinion that body shop mascara is the best (and she seems to have tried many if her bedroom floor is anything to go by!!!)

Dd is 13

She has Rimmell, No 7 & Boots Seventeen that she's had as presents.

She bought herself some Tanya Burr stuff with birthday money from Superdrug. (Tanya Burr is a youtuber who teens follow)

Everyday pocket money stuff is Boots Natural Collectiom & Superdrugs MUA.

You're all fab - thanks! Trip to Boots at lunchtime tomorrow with this list I think! (And a Body Shop too ...)

Seventeen & No 7 have some lovely Christmas gift sets on 3 for 2 at the moment. The lip gloss set looks very pretty b
