If you do want to try something with teeth, I like this better than teeth wax: Mehron Makeup Tooth FX with Brush for Special Effects, Halloween, Movies (.25 oz) ... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001TK55PU/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_i_mnTGDbZKH1KFH
kiddie or sample makeup kits are fairly cheap. what gets expensive is when you want a) something that actually matches your skin tone well enough to pass for "natural" or b) lasts more than a few hours before your skin eats it.
Is my daughter your sister? Seriously. My daughter is 11, but everything you said is identical to her all the way down to the damn Guinea Pigs! I can give you some ideas from her Christmas list. Of course there's the gallon of glue for slime - clear, not the white. She specifically asked for this Slime accessory kit off Amazon.
At that age she is probably just getting into makeup so those kits such as this one are perfect for experimenting.
Wireless headphones are this year's big gift so I don't have to listen to her stupid Tik Tok videos.
She's been asking for her own electric toothbrush for about a year now so she's getting one.
She loves using tools to do her hair and all of my friends have talked about this tool and it has incredibly decent reviews (I have that on my own wish list, but I know my daughter would be jealous).
I got her a subscription to Muse magazine that's for kids 9-12 that are interested in science or crafts. Order it from their own site if you want an extra issue to actually give her at Christmas.
This particular umbrella because all girls this age love the Eiffel Tower for some reason and having their own umbrella is a big deal I guess...
A gift card to a makeup or jewelry place would be loved as well as cool gel/liquid/retractable highlighters.
If you need any more ideas I'm sure I can pull some more stuff out lol
Your face is a canvas and the make-up is like paint. Think about painting in layers if that helps.
That being said, here's my recommendation. You skin is your canvas so you gotta take care of it. Pay attention to your body/skin, everyone is different so use what is working for you. Exfoliate regularly, exfoliating helps clear up pores and scrub away dead skin. I do it daily, again do as much as your own skin needs to. My pores tend to clog easily so I try my best to keep it clean. I use something like this, just a slightly rougher bath sponge, squeeze a little face wash on it and lightly scrub - again this is what I do, your mileage may vary.
Regardless of how oily your skin is, moisturize it. If you have naturally oilier skin like me, use a lighter moisturizer (it feels lighter on your skin not as thick or creamy). conversely, use a heavier moisturizer if you tend to have dry skin. It doesn't necessarily have to be a "face moisturizer" product, lotions work also i've noticed. The point of all this is you want a clean and hydrated skin, it looks younger and healthier. I use, Aveeno's Men's After Shave Lotion. It get's two birds with one stone for me, aftershave plus helps keep my skin hydrated and is on the lighter side (won't feel greasy when it dries.)
The next layer in the painting would be concealer and foundation. Concealers are more pigmented "cover up" work. Using me again, i have slight rosatia/pinkness, concealers help neutralize out the redness to a more even skin tone. Foundation is a less pigmented but does the same thing essentially. Go to a Walgreen's or any drugstore and just look at the color samples. You'll want to color match to your neck so that your general face color blends in with your neck. Taking care of you skin takes time to get but when you get there you shouldn't need much concealer or foundation to even out your face. I like BB Cream No. 23, Natural Biege, matches my color fairly well.
You can pick either of those up or an equivalent product at any drugstore. People won't give you any grief, it's not too common but some males do buy coverup/concealers for acne breakouts so it shouldn't cause too much fuss to buy in person.
As far as applying blush, eyeshadow, liner brows ... the works, it's hard to type out and is best if shown to you. Beating a dead horse, watch the you tube videos and practice putting them on. You WILL get better. I did a quick look through amazon, this Shany Set seems like an okay kit. It has a various color pots to play/practice with. (color pot, the little containers that the actual make up sits in.) Your small round pots are your eyeshadows and the large round ones are your blushes. It looks like it comes with the applicators too, the fancy q-tip looking things are for eyeshadows and the bristle brush for blush. It also has the standard black and brown pencil eye liner, a pencil lip liner, lipstick and some nailpolish.
When it's all said and done, you've read all that you can or watched all the videos you've cared to watch. My best advice I can give you is take care of your skin and practice. Keep putting it on, get a feel for it and learn how certain things get applied. Eyeliner for example, you need to get used to the fact that there's something that close to your eye when you're trying to put it on. With time and practice it gets easier, your hand gets steadier and your eyes don't flinch as much.
Not my best nor my worst, but here's where i'm at on a typical day. http://i.imgur.com/C1vPsxg.jpg
Lastly, baby wipes or makeup remover wipes is good for taking it all off and these on a cotton swab is good to remove eyeliner without any trace.

I would save money on the UD Setting Spray. I've tried it and it's just meh, IMO. I have combo/oily skin and L'Oreal's Infallible Setting Spray has been amazing for me: http://www.amazon.com/LOreal-Paris-Cosmetics-Infallible-Pro-Spray/dp/B00OAINK14 (FYI, CVS is doing buy one, get 50% off on L'Oreal right now).
I'm biased, but I personally think Urban Decay palettes are better than Too Faced (I've owned multiples of each). If you like a natural look, both of the Naked Basics are really nice and not as expensive as the full Naked palettes.

The rest of the makeup(lipstick, concealer, eyeliner, and mascara) I got at Walmart, which (in my case atleast) has a self checkout, so it's not bad shopping there
Does anyone know of a good quality dark purple eyeshadow preferably with a matte or satin finish, maybe in a single or duo? I got the revlon colorstay quad in seductive for the last two shades and it's pretty disappointing.
If she likes makeup, these Harry Potter makeup brushes would be awesome!
/u/justjess316
Happy Birthday! Hope it's amazing!
Cutie! I think a few makeup additions would look real nice:
skip the eyeshadow and go for mascara and eyeliner instead, maybe winged liquid liner look? Tricky to master, but you can cheat with eyeliner stamps like these: https://www.amazon.com/Eyeliner-Stamp-WingLiner-Waterproof-Smudgeproof/dp/B07GM317JJ . It will give you a nice cute feminine accent (only line the top lid, not the bottom, lining both can make your eyes look smaller). You do have slightly hooded eyes, so look up youtube videos on how to do eye makeup for hooded eyes as the techniques can be a bit different. If liquid eyeliner feels too bold, you can try a nice smudged eyeliner look with a softer brown, focusing on the outer top and bottom of your lashes.
Mauve shade blush would look very nice and give some great color and softening to your cheeks, and play around with some contouring as you get more comfortable.
I'd go with a medium rose/mauve color lip, something darker than you have in the photos but not too dark, and probably a soft matte vs a gloss to give you some definition for your lips. NYX brand matte lipstick in Euro Trash, or Sierra would be good options to try (NYX is a great affordable brand in general that is great for testing out different styles). As a rule, expect lipsticks to look brighter on than they may appear in a photo, especially for us lighter skinned gals, so veer towards less bright options unless you're going for bold.
Beyond makeup, I'd recommend visiting a eyebrow threading salon to add some more shape and arch your eyebrows a bit more. Eventually you can probably pluck them yourselves but the salon can teach you a great shape for your face and they're usually only $15-20. Once they're shaped, you can fill them with a eyebrow stencil kit like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Aesthetica-Brow-Contour-Kit-Instructions/dp/B018UPHLU8/. Less is more for eyebrows, but they have a couple of shapes you can play with!
And I think bangs would look great on you! Like long side swept bangs ala Rachel McAdams: https://www.herinterest.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/9f7b85b7ed7cd95d0d16a99cdb443be5.jpg. Not too much of a commitment, they'd grow out in a couple months if you hate them.
These are just minor suggestions to give you that extra confidence, but you look great! Lovely smile, great skin, keep shining!
Several companies make a "teeth paint" sort of stuff that I've used before. It's kind of like nail polish but it removes easily from your teeth. https://www.amazon.com/Mehron-Makeup-Special-Effects-Halloween/dp/B001TK55PU/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=black+teeth+paint&qid=1572301795&sr=8-4 Here's an example. I amazon'd "black teeth paint" and got several results. I'm not sure if it's compatible with dental work but it might be?
I agree with the the other comment. They have some good stuff. Don’t get.
Consider getting her this instead and say “it had great ratings on amazon and it has everything you need.” It actually looks like it’s made for kids And you can show her the pictures in the reviews with the little girls and everyone saying “bought this for my 12 year old niece she loves it” lmao
[this please] (http://www.amazon.com/e-l-f-Studio-Makeup-Clutch-1-88-Ounce/dp/B0065ZC4XA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3F0OLRWNN54YV&coliid=I1CW9Q534RV22U) so i dont look like a pumpkin.

I have green eyes so purple and gray are my go to eyeshadow colors. I use this palette from Revlon often. It has a handy guide on the back of it.
Here is a photo of the guide on the back. The only thing I do differently is apply the third color more on the lid, I'm not daring enough to go off into faceland yet! :D
If purples are not your thing then I thing the shades of the color could be a guide to any color you do end up choosing. Hope that was a bit more helpful!

If you're just starting out, you can get makeup kits for reasonably low prices. This kit from Amazon only costs $35 and gets good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/SHANY-All-One-Harmony-Makeup/dp/B005UKZAJG/ Also, if you browse on Amazon, you can buy some decent foundation, blush, lipstick, eye shadow, eyeliner, and concealer separately for around the same price.

I used the NYX Nude On Nude Natural Look Kit on my eyes and lips, also a little bit in my brows. They are ok, I like it use it when I want a light look. Works a lot better with an eye primer. The lips stuff is a nice color, haven't tried the pink one yet. I don't use it much because you have to have a lip brush to apply it. It is a super tiny palette, which is good for travel but I'm sure it will run out soon. I used to use my fingers to apply shadow, can't really do that with this.

More like this... You won’t need it all though so you could just get a trauma/burn color pallet and some liquid latex. This comes with some instructions and mehron has good tutorials.

This video makes me happy. It's really cute :3
Alrighty, well there's this palette I've found from NYX. I'd avoid their "Natural" palette unless you really want a reaaally no makeup look.
I heard a lot of ladies like this one by theBalm.
I own The Ammo Palette by Urban Decay and it's great. I see it on sale all the time. I got mine when it was $12.
CONGRATS FEETS! What an awesome milestone.
When I think of the word "shiny," I think of stars; and you deserve a big star for your accomplishment today, so here is a face full of shiny stars for you! Also, TIL I suck at drawing stars :(
For a bonus shiny moment, here is me being so pale that I'm reflecting the sun and channeling a vampire...bonus Stewie the Cat. I love how it looks like he's rolling his eyes at me.
Congrats, again! You're awesome!
EDIT: I'm such a dweeb. I forgot to include the item from my wishlist! I'd love to be the proud owner of this little fella! Thanks for doing the contest, Feets!
Okay I'm 99% positive I commented on this post before, but for some reason it's not coming up.
But anyways, I just really wanted to thank you for your service. A lot of sacrifices are made by people in the military and it takes a lot for someone to do that when no one asked them to. If you need anything, TP, snacks, letters of support, calling cards, hand sanitizer, let me know!
Make up please =)
It's silly, I know. But right now I want these glow in the dark body art markers for when Im at Electric Forest next month. I know they're cheap, but Ive been saving money to go visit my family in Dayton (which I leave for tonight!) but Ive been trying to avoid buying things that aren't completely needed for life, until I get back from my trip!
This isn't very original but if I win I'd like a gift card (that ones on my Under $10 wish list). But I suppose I may be slightly unique in this contest to tell you what I'm saving up for this or this. I haven't actually decided which one first.
This, but only if she posts pics with it on!
thank you for the compliments :)
I use this for my eyebrows

And for the hair style, it takes a while to find one that suits you, I actually get most of my things from amazon, there are lots of not so pricy wigs so you could experiment until you find one.
Hope it helps!

If you are looking for drugstore options I really like the revlon seductive eyeshadow quad but the pastel purple will only stay with a primer on for me (wnw fergie take on the day) but it's my go to purple eyeshadow!
I've also heard good things about the hard candy eyeshadows and I've been considering that elf 10 color baked eyeshadow pallete that has a bunch of purples, sorry I dont know the names :(

The CeraVe cream is great, it's highly recommended at /r/skincareaddiction which is where I found it. :) I have eczema and it's kind of ridiculous that I didn't find out about it earlier in life (only discovered it 2 months ago)!
Yay for hand-me-down eyeshadows from moms! I just got 2 today, but they're relatively new since she bought some stuff at Lancome recently and got it for free. And, as far as mascara goes I've read in a lot of magazines and stuff that since pros use so much of it they just buy the cheapest stuff at the drugstore. It's something about the only real differences being whether or not it's waterproof and the brush. But a lot of people are into CoverGirl Clump Crusher and if you're in the States that would be a good place to start.
I just got a RealTechniques set yesterday (as a glam!) and used it today and it works pretty well. I got the starter set (for eyes) so if you're looking for that it might be an option it's ~$15! Are there any specific brushes you're looking for? If your price range is a little higher, Sigma brushes are supposed to be great too.
For a nude eye palette, if you like Urban Decay Naked1 ($50), Naked2 ($50), or Naked Basics ($27) might be good options. If you're looking to just try something there's an NYX Nude on Natural palette that might work.
$25
$10
$5
I vote for the $25 option. Thanks for the contest!!
don't go talking too loud you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones
skin illustrator is hella expensive for beginners. probably PPI on set would make it better as its a bit smaller and cheaper. 80$ vs 55$. (cream paints work for wax as well)
liquid latex, some scar wax, spatula, petrolium jelly, sfx gelatin.... lots of stuff needed to be honest %)
I would recommend Mehron sfx kit for the starting point https://www.amazon.com/Mehron-KSPFX-Special-FX-Kit/dp/B00GS8GJ6C
Makeup kits are a great place to start to experiment with your style of makeup! Also amazon has a nice variety of them. For a beginner I would look into one of these:
After a bit of research, these seem the best from Amazon. P.S you'll definitely need some brushes to apply most of the makeup and for that I'd recommend this:
(this beauty sponge works awesome! it's helpful to blend out concealer, foundation, etc) it's so cheap but the quality is definitely high end)
(I got these in pink and they're so affordable at $5 but work great!! They're a little smaller than normal brushes but other than that I use them daily for everything!!)
Hope I helped :)
