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

I want to start wearing foundation next school year do you think seventh grade is too young

Hey girl,

It really depends on how ready you are and the rules at your school. Talk to your mom about starting out wearing makeup and see if she thinks you are old enough!

My skin is a combination between normal and a light oiliness. I want to use a BB cream ( foundation) to cover up zits and just any discoloration to my face. The thing is I am only in 7th grade. Is this too young? Please answer....thanks!!! Smile




Hey girlie,

I don't think it's too young at all! The "right" age to wear makeup is different for every girl, depending on their maturity, chats with their parents, etc. As long as you're using makeup in a subtle, light way and aren't overdoing it, you're fine! Smile

since i have combination skin my t-zone is oily most time...does this bb cream benefit my type of skin? If not what other foundations are there for my skin.?
How do i apply a highlighter and which one do you recommend at a low price?




Hey Girl--

The cream should work great for your skin. A light cream foundation can work well with oily skin.  Or, you could try using any mineral powder foundation to blot up any oiliness. A highlighter should be applied with a foundation brush to the contours of your face-- cheek bones, eyelids, etc. Head to Sephora or another makeup store so you can find one in your price range... They can even teach you how to apply it!




best of luck

I would like to become a beauty spy and I have a recomendation: Moroccan oil shampoo and Macadamia oil conditioner it works like a charm to soften and smooth your hair and it also makes it quite shiny and plus I dont have a microsoft account is there any other way to become a beauty spy? I have millions of tips!




Hey girlie,

While we love receiving your recommendation (it sounds great!), unfortunately the only way to become a beauty spy is by filling out our GL Beauty Spy survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YSKC3RB Take a look!

I have 3 questions about BB cream:
1.How do I find the right shade for my skin tone?
2.How much do I need to apply to my face?
3.If I use the BB cream, do I still use concealer?
Also, one more question:
What/who is MOD and why do we have to post it on our comments? Thank you so much Smile(:




Hey girl!

1) BB creams don't come in a huge range of shades. There are some that come in a few shades, but most only come in one or two, which makes it a lot easier to choose which shade to get. 2) Less is more. Since you're young, there's no reason to cake your face with it. It's supposed to be light and fresh feeling, so a nice even coat will be perfect. 3) If you use it, you can still use concealer, it's up to you! GL has a bunch of girls that mod--we're mostly interns here. We answer girls' questions and make sure no one posts inappropriate content on the site. Smile
