Make Up Games and Lipstick


Lipstick is one of the first make up items that little girls ever get to experiment with. When you put on lipstick it makes you feel more polished and pretty – ready to take on the world with a pretty pink pout. When you play make up games, it is often lipstick that makes a difference in the way the final result looks. You can play make up games at home with your full make up collection. Simply try out different combinations and styles to see what looks good and what makes your personal style even better.

You can also play make up games online by trying out different make up looks on the dolls on the websites. It’s almost amazing how much difference it can make when you change the color of a doll’s lipstick. Start with something light and then try out something a bit bolder. The final result is impressive with each color change. If you’re inspired, you can always head over to your vanity and give your own make up a try to see if the same color scheme works for you, too.

Your Mom and Make Up Games


No mother wants to see her little girls growing up. But girls do grow and as they do, it’s inevitable that they will at least be interested in make up games and want to learn how to use make up correctly. When this happens, some mothers start a series of lesson or tutorials while others seem to buckle down. If you’re lucky enough to have a mother who is willing to teach you all that she knows about how to create a fresh and beautiful face, enjoy yourself and your good luck. The rest of us aren’t always so lucky.

If you’re on the other side of the spectrum with a mother who feels that any age is too young to event think about make up and perhaps has a comment to make about any amount of make up you wear, you’re going to have to tough it out. Get a friend to show you how to put on make up if you haven’t figured it out from videos and shows or head to the local make up counter so that you can have an expert apply it for you as she shows you what to use. Make up can be expensive to buy, so start with a few basics and add elements to your collection as your budget allows.

Make Up Games and Eyelashes


Your eyelashes are one of the most fragile area of the body, yet they have an amazing ability to make your eyes truly pop and sparkle. Eyelashes are there for a basic purpose – they protect your eyes from any number of things that might fall into your eye. The tightly packed lashes frame the eye to keep them safe and sound from irritants, but we use that dark lashes to help beautify our face as well.

Mascara highlights our lashes by making them darker and more dramatic. When lashes are highlighted, the eyes on your face stand out making them appear bigger and more appealing. Larger eyes are linked to more attractive faces and making your eyes dramatic is exactly what you’re trying to achieve there. The end result is a set of beautiful eyes framed by dark, lush lashes that may or may not have started out that way. Regardless of whether your beautiful lashes are granted by mother nature, glued on or simply enhanced with a bit of mascara, enjoy them – it’s part of being young and beautiful.

Make Up Games and Pedicures


Not one of the more traditional make up games, but doing nails is something to enhance your natural beauty, just the same way blusher or mascara would. If you think about it in our world of harried and frazzled people, the toes on your feet are likely to get the same amount of attention as any make up you might put on your face.

When you go to play make up games with your toes, don’t be shy. Your toes are one of the few golden opportunities you have to do something substantial with your feet. You can add a bit of toe jewelry, but overall, having a beautiful shimmering shade on your toes is about the best of the make up games you can play in the summer time especially. Glamour on your toes is a nice substitute for glamour on your face, after all, and a pedicure won’t simply be sweated off the way a full face of make up can be. So with the warm weather well underway, head to salon to play make up games with your toes.

Make Up Games and Eyebrow Clean-Up


There’s a difference between getting your eyebrows done and keeping them cleaned up. When you get your brows done, you have them waxed or threaded or plucked into a shape that flatters your face and opens up your eye area. Usually, you only get your brows done every month or so, but that leaves plenty of time for the hairs around your eyebrows to start growing back in. Some women just ignore these hairs and let them grow in slowly knowing they will be attacking them later with the help of some wax at their next appointment.

Others can’t stand the feeling or the look of the stray hairs and they opt to attack them with some tweezers. A good pair of tweezers lets you single out hairs and pluck them one by one. Now, when you’re cleaning up your eyebrows, you’re not shaping them. You shouldn’t be digging into the bulk of your eyebrows with your tweezers. These make up games require you to carefully single out the random hairs that are growing into what was bare skin a week ago. Single one out and carefully tweeze it away. Regular cleaning will give you groomed eyebrows at least between waxing appointment or you may opt to skip the waxings all together.

Make Up Games – Summer Lips


Over the hot summer months, you need to be vigilant about protecting all of your skin, but your lips in particular. These highly sensitive parts of your body can dry out quickly and can become irritated in the sun at times. Your best bets for protecting your lips is to keep them moisturized and look for lip balms with sunscreen. In fact, you don’t really need to put anything on your lips at all outside of a simple coat of lip balm with sunscreen when you’re out during the day – after all, few people wear lipstick to the beach.

Of course, when it’s nighttime you’ll want to dress up those summer lips a bit more. Once the sun is down, you don’t need to worry as much about protecting them from the elements, but you still want to be sure that you’re donning a fashionable lip color for the summer months. Heavy lipsticks and bright reds aren’t as suitable for summer as they are for fall. Instead of lipstick, stick to your light lip glosses in a pretty pink or peach color. The end result is fun and youthful, but the shine and shimmer will definitely make your lips look luscious and easy to kiss.

Make Up Games – Eyeshadows


There is a thing about colored eyeshadows right now. Everyone is wearing bright sherbet colored eyeshadow and it’s fun to see so many bright and fun colors, but it does make you wonder a bit if everyone realizes what looks best on their face. While having neon green eyelids is great fun, it might not be that flattering. It certainly calls attention to the eye, but it probably isn’t as attractive as using more neutral shades.

With that being said, the best time to explore the bright, fun colors available in eyeshadows is while you’re young. You can have fun playing with bright pink and blue eyeshadows in school a lot more easily than you can if you’re out in an office building somewhere. Go wild and crazy trying new things and buying new colors to try out with friends. But while you’re practicing with those bold, fun colors, be sure to learn and practice applying the neutral shades as well should you even find yourself heading to a job interview where purple eyelids might not be your best option for getting the job and impressing the boss.
