Q: I am not allowed to wear makeup. I want to look pretty. I have professionally waxed eyebrows and haircut, but I just don't think I look as good as I could. I'm 15, so what can I do to look a bit nicer without makeup? Oh, I have a little acne, but I am using a cream to clear it up, and it helps. Thanks!
A: heathy skin is important, and you're lucky there because not wearing makeup is one of the best things you can do for your skin. also try drinking lots of water, staying out of the sun! (or wearing sunscreen if you have to go out) and cleansing, moisturising and exfoliating regularly. also look after your lips, so make sure they aren't cracked or dry by using lip balm regularly. you can do other things as well like looking at what you wear, finding your own style rather then just following fashion. and keeping your fingernails nice and well manicured, whatever length they might be. keep working on the acne and you should be fine, if anything better then fine because you wont be hurting your skin by using make up which could block your pores. you'll also have more time to learn to love how you look without makeup (confidence = pretty), so when you do start wearing it you'll know not to overboard. i'm 21 and i use to wear more makeup, but now i think i look best just with some translucent powder to cover shine and maybe lipstick. i prefer to have my real skin on display, even if it's not absolutely perfect.
