Makeup recommendations for 12 year old

I ordered some makeup from Morphe for my daughter and it appears like they aren’t sending out orders judging by Twitter. Could anyone recommend a suitable brand for a youngster please? She is really just starting out down the makeup route (thanks to secondary school) so I don’t want anything too heavy or grown-up; previous to this it’s been lipgloss from Claire’s!

My twelve year old and her friends love Revolution - especially the themed pallets. All available at a Superdrug I think (though my nicer bits seem to disappear too!)

Thank you. I had looked at those previously, but wasn’t sure so it’s good to get a recommendation.

My 13 year old daughter has been asking for these eye shadow palettes from Beauty Bay, because she saw them on You Tube videos:

Body Shop is good as well

Revolution all the way!

Maybe some concealer so she can hide blemishes.

Only makeup I wore at that age was mascara. Couldn't leave the house without it though so maybe the eyes are really important to them at that age. I love 'barryM' - 'that's how I roll' atm.

Yes to Revolution palettes and concealers. She may also like the Florence range by Millie Bobby Brown sold in Boots - cute lip and cheek tints.

My 12 year old has a beauty blog. She loves Morphe, Revolution, Benefit.

DD has just told me go for Revolution in case it turns out she's not that into it. Revolution is good price, on trend and good quality.

Second Florence by MBB; she's a big hit with the teenagers I know.
