3 Reasons to Love Make Up games

Make up has a special place in the hearts of most teenage girls. The make up they wear helps them feel more grown-up and in some cases makes them look a bit older than they would otherwise. Of course, a made up face isn’t a substitute for a fully grown body or a mature personality, but it does give you a bit of an edge if you’re trying to look polished and pulled together. Make up games can be bold or subtle, but there are always reasons to love them.

Make up games are easy. Once you learn the basics of applying make up, it’s easy to start trying out some new things and to look for new ways to wear the basics – going from normal to extraordinary in a single afternoon.

Make up games are bonding experiences. If you’re trying to get to know someone, simply do their make up. You’ll be face to face in a special way while you work and you’ll be able to talk about something you both understand.

Make up games are affordable. With the amount of money spent on electronics and other gadgets today, it’s nice to know that you can afford a new face for roughly $20.  

Make Up Games for School

When you’re headed back to school, be sure to spend some time playing make up games. Your goal by playing the make up games is to get a set schedule and routine down for applying your make up during the day. Once you’re trying to get up and ready in the mornings, you don’t want to deal with missing items or trying to figure out what is the best look for school that morning. When you play make up games, you’re able to figure out how quickly you can handle the basics and what exactly those basics are.

You’ll want to pare down your make up games to the basics for school. The school day isn’t the time to get fancy with your make up or try out new complicated routines like wearing fake eyelashes. School isn’t the time for pulling out all the stops. If you want to wear your full face of make up you’ll want to do that when you go out with friends in the evening or if you go to a club or party. Your make up games for school should be a fresh faced look. Not an evening make up look.
 

Make Up Games and Zits

Zits are ugly business. These deep spots hurt way below the surface of the skin, and sometimes you can’t actually see them, but you can certainly feel them. Dealing with zits when you’re playing make up games is important as you don’t ever want to make them worse. Getting those zits covered correctly is a matter of cleanliness and carefulness.

When you’re applying make up during your make up games, start with a good scrubbing. Wash off all the oil and dirt that might be on your face. You don’t want it trapped against the skin with make up. Once your face is clean, apply a light covering of foundation. If you’re struggling with zits, be sure you’re not using an oily foundation. Then dot on a spot of concealer before brushing on powder. Be sure that your concealer is yellow in tint to cancel out any red that might be visible on the zit. The end result is a flawless face, or at least one that looks that way.

Make Up Games and Eyeliner

Eyeliner is tricky business. When you play make up games, it’s not often appropriate to slap on eyeliner. The dark kohl that goes around your eyes with the eyeliner pencil can be hard to work with. And if controlling a pencil is a challenge, the small wand for liquid eyeliner is a nightmare. Not only is eyeliner hard to use, it is also out of place in most day time looks. During the day, your make up should be fresh and natural. It should enhance your natural beauty and be all but invisible to the casual observer.

Of course at night, the rules change and dark smoky eyes start to matter a bit more. This is when you’d use the eyeliner – at night before a big evening out. Putting on eyeliner requires care and precision, and it’s best that you put the eyeliner on your own eyes rather than allowing anyone else put it on you. This is because you can feel the pencil or wand tracing along your eyelid, and you don’t want that pencil slipping too close to your eye.
 

Make Up Games and Your Mom

Why do moms like to interfere in make up games? They seem to have trouble picking out the best way to approach make up games with their teenage or preteen daughters and struggles over make up can be a challenge for the girls of the family to work though. Young girls will develop an interest in make up at some point. They will have time and most of them will have the money to buy the cosmetics they need to play make up games at home. Once they have mastered the art of the make up games at home, they will be ready to take their new look out into the world.

The best way I’ve seen to approach this is to not prevent the makeover and not necessarily help it along either in a big way. Make cosmetics available to young girls who want to play and teach your daughter how to use make up during these play sessions at home. As she grows older, the lessons learned before the doll fashion show will translate into her use as a teenager and then as an adult. By letting her buy her own make up and find her own personal look, you’ll be letting her make a statement about herself that is easy on both of you.

Playing Make Up Games at Home

If you’re curious to see what different looks you can make with make up games, don’t be afraid to experiment at home. Unless they give you an allergic reaction, cheap cosmetics give you a huge assortment of options without spending very much. The large make up kits that seem to spring up around the holidays as gift ideas are another fun way to play with different collections of make up without spending much at all for all the different items you need.

To play the make up games, you’re going to need to change your make up into different styles. Look up techniques and looks in magazines and online to see what looks best and what really works for you personally. Then try to copy the techniques and then enjoy the results. Once you’re finished with a look, take a picture and save it for later. If you take a lot of different pictures of your different looks, you can compare them at the end to see what really looks best.
 

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.
