Today's filled with work...I had to do a slideshow on the book Animal Farm - I had to create a candidate to run against this crazy communist pig (literally a pig) named Napoleon...then I did math...now blog, yay!
What's better than the two words girls love most? Bag and make up! OK, its three words, but you get the idea! Do you have all the essentials you need in your make up bag? I highly doubt it. So let's get started, shall we?
Lips
There's no lipgloss without chapstick - I recommend Rosebud Salve or DCT
Lipgloss, Lipgloss, Lipgloss...there are about a million different colors, brands and types out there - but the perfect lipgloss has 3 main qualities - long lasting abilities, good color and a compact size. 
I would personally recommend MAC lipglass or Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush...beware - the MAC has a sticky factor. 
Lipliner is pretty out these days, as is lipstick...you should only wear that stuff if you're above 35...
Face
As a teen, foundation really isn't needed - the only thing that you would really need is concealer, bronzer and blush. Now, if you need all of these things, wouldn't you want them to come in one, compact device?
The best bronzer/blush duo out there is LORAC cheek duo which comes with a brush and a small, easy to use case. The price is a steal - $28.50, and you can find it at your local Sephora.
Another bronzer/blush duo that's really great is Benefit 10, it has a good combination of pink shimmer and bronze sparkle for only the the golden of goddesses. 
Concealer can be found everywhere and anywhere, but to make sure you're being taken care of, you want something dependable and personal. The Clinique concealers are fit to match your skin tone and the women at the counter show you how to use it as well. This is also a cheap buy at $15, and it comes in a small tube that you can fit anywhere.
Eyes
The best eye shadows can never be exactly determined. I'd chose a palette that has many colors that I could use to match the majority of my outfits, with a variety appropriate for different events - from nights out, to days in!
The Pop Eyes beauty eyeshadow sets have a fun packaged palette that customizes their sets for blue, brown and green eyes.
There are different types of ways to do your eyeshadow, one of the most famous being 'smokey eyes' - something that even the best of make up artists can't complete! To do a perfect smokey eye, pick up Bare Escentuals Tutorials - Lesson 1: Smokey Eyes! It's a booklet that guides you on completing the best smokey eye possible. It comes with two complementary colors that will help you achieve a killer smokey eye!
For your lashes you don't want to get too complicated - stick to the run-of-the-mill Maybelline at first and once you get to know your lashes you can decide whether or not you need a thickening mascara, a lengthening mascara or another type of mascara
Eyeliner is a popular pick for teenage girls - and most wear it with their daily make up. Eyeliner is something made to make smaller eyes seem larger and get noticed more. For that typical black eyeliner look, you'd want to do one, slick and sleek line across the top of your eye - with a sharpened pencil from Sephora. When you want to go crazy with your liner and do a glittery or metallic look for a night out, try something like Benefit Mr Frosty - a pearly, swift pencil that glides across your lash line. It was even featured in Allure magazine!
An eyelash curler is always necessary for those fun nights out, and you want one with a good grip and a great job guaranteed! 
The best kit out there, a $181 value is from Bare Escentuals. It's a 'Get Started Kit' and it comes with everything from bronzer to mascara to blush to eyeshadow. It also has 5 different editions for each skin tone!
