This guide tells you what you need to know about why teenagers should have an organic mineral make-up kit.

We explain what mineral make-up is and the benefits of mineral make-up for teens and tweens. We have some great tips for applying mineral make-up and how to enhance your natural beauty.

Plus, we recommend our parent's choice gift set for teens, which gives teens a way to remove make-up and look after their skin naturally, without aggravating sensitive skin with harsh chemicals. 

Why organic make-up for teenagers and tweens?

We think that the most suitable make-up for tweens and teens is mineral make-up products that allow young skin to breathe.

We have created natural mineral make-up for teenagers that not only enhances your complexion but is also good for your skin. It is made with a blend of plant extracts and earth minerals which nourish and protect young skin.

It is perfect for special occasions such as prom or just for a teens who want a regular natural beauty routine.

Green People’s mineral make-up for teens is:

  • Natural & ultra-gentle
  • Non-comedogenic
  • Cruelty free
  • Made with natural earth minerals and plant extracts

What are the benefits of mineral make-up for tweens and teenagers?

Our mineral make-up is made with only the purest blend of plant extracts and earth minerals to nourish and protect your skin – there is no irritating bismuth oxychloride, drying alcohol, parabens, artificial colours or pore-clogging chemicals, just natural ingredients that make you look good and keep your skin healthy.

Natural mineral make-up is perfect for teenage skin, even if you have acne or redness. Not only will you get a natural coverage that you won’t make you look shiny, but the minerals reflect light off your skin, giving you a perfectly flawless complexion.

Our mineral make-up for tweens is suitable for sensitive skin or if you are prone to acne, eczema or psoriasis.

Best mascara for teens and how to apply it

Our Volumising Mascara comes in two shades, brown and black, and both will lift and define lashes using natural cellulose micro spheres.

Black is a popular mascara for evening eye make-up but if you have green eyes, brown mascara will complement your eye colour and could be a better choice.

To apply, coat the middle and tips of your lashes, using a zigzag motion. Do the bottom lashes first, then repeat this move for the top set of lashes, starting the wand at the lash root when you want extra lift and volume.

"I bought this mascara for my teenage daughter. She absolutely loves it. Stays on all day. Goes on clean- no clumping. She says she gets many compliments on her lashes and how long and lovely they look. Her lashes do look pretty fab in my opinion. Great product. Will definitely repurchase☺️" Anonymous, reviewing Volumising Mascara in Black



"Bought for a xmas gift for my daughter who always uses green people products. I know she rates them highly for her sensitive skin" W.R., reviewing Volumising Mascara in Brown

Make-up tips for teens and tweens

  • Apply pressed mineral powder with a Kabuki brush for smooth and even coverage
  • Swirl the brush around the pressed powder once for light coverage or twice for fuller, and tap off the excess
  • Gradually work the brush in small circular motions around your forehead, chin, nose and eyes. Build up the areas that need more coverage
  • Cleanse and moisturise your skin, then apply your foundation. This makes it easier to see how much (or little) you need to get that perfect coverage
  • Apply organic pressed mineral powder anywhere you see redness, dark shadows or blemishes. Use your fingertip to gently dab and blend the product into your skin. Finish with another dusting of powder to blend and set.
  • For out and about on-the-spot treatment, dab a little Oy Clear Skin Blemish Concealer on the area and blend by lightly tapping

"My tween and teen girls both love this set. Great for getting them into a sensible skincare routine without any chemical nasties or social media fads. Helps with hormonal breakouts. The serum is especially good at drying out spots. They both use alongside the OY concealer, which tends not to encourage spots to get bigger or multiply!" Josie
