Everyday Makeup Routine Article Response

I recently read an article about an everyday makeup routine that teenage girls can use on  daily basis.  The article basically told you 7 steps that when putting on your makeup in the morning. I think that this article was very informative and helpful. Especially for a teen girl who needs a few tips and wants a pretty natural look that can do everyday. They also gave tips on how to complete this steps which I thought was very helpful. I do wish that they could have maybe given some references to places that carry the products needed for this routine. However, this will very depending on where you live; so, I understand why they didn't do it. Another thing I enjoyed was how they gave reasoning for why you shouldn't do this or why you should do that. For example, they said "always wash your face and hands before putting on makeup to avoid build up of bacteria which will lead to acne". I did find this very helpful from a science perspective. My makeup routine in the morning is different from this one, but still pretty basic. I usually start by applying concealer to underneath my eyes and any pimples. Next, I apply eyeshadow primer and a gold shimmery eyeshadow all over my eyelid. Then, I curl my eyelashes with an eyelash curler. Finally, I put a couple layers of mascara on my eyelashes and viola! I am all done and it only took around 5 minutes! Both the makeup routine in the article and my makeup routine allow you to look mature but still natural and age appropriate. This is very important as a teenager even though some magazines and commercials suggest otherwise.
