CRUSHES

Lipwear

“No one wants to kiss a girl who has lipstick on. It’s gross.” – Austin R., 16

“I’m a fan of lipgloss and lipstick on a girl—the bolder the better.” – Matt R., 17

“Too much is gross.” – Justin S., 15

Foundations and Faux Glows

“Makeup is good and bad thing. It can either look good, which means not a lot is applied, or it looks bad when a lot is applied. Products that make girls look orange or other colors are just not attractive. Girls need to be less insecure with what they look like naturally. Natural beauty is true beauty.” – Mike F., 18

“As long as it’s well-matched with the girl's skin tone and not overused or caked on, it’s fine.” – Matt R., 17

“People who apply fake tanner always look like they’re wearing fake tanner. Either spend some time in the sun or live with your natural skin color.” – Elliott S., 18

Eye Shadow

“I like when girls use simple and neutral colors, like black and brown.” – Mike F., 18

“Weird colors don’t work, unless the person can really pull it off.” – Matt R., 17

“It looks good, but in moderation.” – Eden J., 16

The Cat-Eye Look

“If too much is used, the girl looks like she’s trying too hard.” – Matt R., 17

“I think it’s just a little too much.” – Mike F., 18

“It makes girls look better, but it's easy to tell if they did too much, and too much makeup overall is unattractive. Basically, it looks good, but it's obviously not natural.” – Justin S., 15

Blush

“I guess I like it. It really makes a girl’s face stand out.” – Robbie H., 16

“I don’t really notice or care about it.” – Elliott S., 18

Nails

“Nail polish shows that a girl likes to take care of herself.” – Mike F., 18

“It adds a nice touch, but the wrong color can turn into a train wreck.” – Eden J., 16

“When I see a girl that doesn’t have her nails painted, I think it shows that she’s just too lazy to do it.” – Robbie H., 15
