This aspect should be well seen into by investing in a proper sunscreen. Remember that since teens are almost always out their skin needs to be protected well from germs and dirt. Make sure to use a daily sun screen which can last for hours.

After the face looks clean the next area should be the eyes. Proper liner for well defined eyes should have very light colored eyeliners and mascara for the evenings out. Lips need to be nourished with proper lip balms and creams.

These days many fruit based balms are available, which are quite an incentive for teenagers to make their lips look pink and glowing.

So the make up kit for a teen ager should be chosen with these basic needs in mind. Come on get going if you have a teen at home or better still if you happen to be a teen yourself!
