Beauty Spy: Girly and fresh Ashley G.

  • Get gorgeous spring date night makeup
This GL beauty babe from Lebanon, OH spills her totally fresh and sweet makeup tips.  Find out how babygirl1256 embraces a natural look, but ups her girly factor with bright lips and bronze skin!  

 

Three ways to describe my beauty style: Fresh-faced and Simple, Girl on the Go, Total Beauty Babe- I love giving advice to my besties!

 

I wear makeup… to school and when hanging out with friends, but not at home

 

My best beauty tips: I like to keep my makeup simple, and stick to the natural look. A little bit goes a long way! Wearing a completely covered face to school isn't a good look on most girls. Embrace your natural beauty!

 

Fave lip product: Sugar Lip Treatment in Rose

Why I love it: It is the perfect color for everyday lips, and it moisturizes very well. Everything about it is perfect!

 
 

Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 in Rose, $23, sephora.com

 

Fave eye product: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

Why I love it: This is the perfect thing to brighten your eyes when you're tired. You can use it as a highlighter on the inner corners, or as an iridescent shadow.

 

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk, $5, nyxcosmetics.com

 

Fave mascara: Smashbox Hyperlash Mascara in Blackout

Why I love it: It perfectly lengthens and defines. It adds just enough volume for everyday eyes.

 

Smashbox Hyperlash Mascara in Blackout, $20, amazon.com

 

Fave face coverage product: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light

Why I love it: This BB cream goes on smooth and it brightens and evens out skin tone at the same time. It also has SPF, which is a must! The coverage is good, too.

 

 

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light, $8, target.com

 

Fave face color product: Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Rose Petal

Why I love it: The color is buildable and the line offers tons of shades to choose from. The product really melts into your skin for a natural glow.
 

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Rose Petal, $8, ulta.com

 

Fave skincare product: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub

Why I love it: It exfoliates and cleanses, my skin feels so soft after using it! It helps to get rid of acne and breakouts—and keeps them away.
 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub, $6, amazon.com
 

Fave tool: Tweezerman ProCurl Curler

Why I love it: It curls my lashes perfectly. I have long lashes naturally, but curling them is the easiest way to look more awake. I could NEVER skip curling my eyelashes before school.

 

Tweezerman ProCurl Eyelash Curler, $20, sephora.com

hey im in 6th grade a i have dark/brown skin what fair color tone is good for me in BB cream? abd can i wear that kind of bouncy blush you wear since im dark skinned/brown?

 

Hey itssravenn, I think it would be best for you to go into the mall to a makeup counter so someone can help you in person, since it can be hard to tell how colors will look against your skin online. Hit up a store like MAC or Sephora, or head to the makeup counters at Macys or Nordstrom for help. Someone will be able to tell you your exact shade and what blush will work for you. I'm dark/brown skin too and they've been really helpful. Hope this helps you! Xoxo

whats a good way to get rid of my upper lip hair without waxing???

 

Hey girly! Waxing is probably the most common and efficient option, but you could try buying a hair removal cream (make sure it is one that is specifically for facial hair otherwise the chemicals in it could be to harsh for your face). They sell these things at most grocery stores! xoxo

MOD! So my mom said that I can start wearing make up. I'm entering 9th grade this year but I don't know about the very first thing about make up! Could you please give me some advice for a 1st time make up user? I would really appreciate it! I want to wear natural make up, nothing bright or excessive. Something appropriate for school. Thanks!! Smile

 

Hey chica! Start off with gloss and mascara- two really easy things to use that will look pretty but natural.  Once you're comfortable with that, you can branch out to other things (blush, a little bit of lipstick, whatever you want!) xoxo

1. Think of your crush.
2. Make a heart with your hands.
3. Kiss your hand heart.
4. Put it where your real heart is.
5. Your crush will ask you out tomorrow.
6. This only works if you post it on your favorite article.

Im in middle school, i have blond hair greenish blue eyes and light skin, what makeup colors should i try?




Hey Girl--

Since you have fair skin try sticking with neutral or light colors. Dramatic hues could look too drastic or even wash you out. I would try a golden or light brown eye shadow and some light peach colored lips. 




good luck!
