Make up for teens

After some tips on brands for teens.
Not sure my Clarins or No'7 would be cool enough and also don't want to spend that much! She particularly wants a concealer her friend has. No idea what brand. However me hearing the word "concealer" from a spotty teen assumed she meant a pan stick type to cover up spots! No we mean beneath the eyes for the dark circles we do not have. Any tips on teen brands that won't break the bank? Thanks!

Elf and Revolution are great for teens. Available in Boots, Superdrug and a few other high street shops.

If she’s on tik tok then b perfect might be a good option.

Maybelline do a really good concealer with a spongy bit

Collection do a really cheap but excellent concealer you can buy in Superdrug or Boots

Revolution is very popular when they're first starting out

NYX, ELF or Maybelline for most things

for concealer I would recommend maybelline fit me if she doesn’t have much to cover or the age rewind if she wants more coverage

Face- The Maybelline skin tint or the NYX Butta one if she has normal to dry skin or the NYX blur if she has more oily skin

Elf do really good liquid blush and bronzers/contour.

And all three have really great lip products depending on what she’s looking for

Elf have a great lipliner for £3 or the new Maybelline lifter liners are r really good as well

Elf is great and well priced for the age group

My teen wouldn’t use these brands, she’d say they were too old.

Another vote for Elf

Thank you Maybelline on 3 for 2 on Tesco, hadn't thought of that. Will get some Elf when in town.

Just be aware that Maybelline isn't cruelty free.
