Teen Skincare Class and Shoot | Mary Kay Cosmetics

This was such a fun event and concept; these beautiful teens were part of a class on skincare and natural makeup techniques! Then we did a photoshoot to document their pretty looks. I loved that Danielle taught them age-appropriate looks and emphasized beautiful skin, not caking on makeup. This shoot was done in partnership with the wonderful Danielle Chamberlin, who is a consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics. I’m sure you’ve heard about Mary Kay, but just in case, it’s a company empowering women to succeed. It has over 3.5 million beauty consultants in over 35 countries worldwide, and has been helping women earn incomes and discover true beauty for over fifty years. They also are well-known for their philanthropic work.  I was able to ask Danielle some fun questions to learn more about what she does, and also got some tips for teen skincare:

Why did you become a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant?

I became a Mary Kay Consultant because I have used the products for 18 years. I love how they make my skin look and feel. Also, besides taking care of my boys and a household, I wanted something that was just mine.

What is different about the Mary Kay line of beauty products?

What’s different about the Mary Kay Products is you get me! I become your Skin Care Coach. We team up together to access your skin care needs. I then check in with you every couple of months to make sure you are still loving the products and if you need anything. If you have questions or need product before, I call you can always call/text or e-mail me and I will get the product to you as soon as possible. That’s how I save you time and money. Also, Mary Kay has a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If at any time you decide you are not getting the results you want, we will either exchange the product or give you a full refund. You don’t get that anywhere else!

Why is skincare so important even to young teens?

I feel skin care should be important at all ages. Our skin is the biggest organ of the body and it’s the only one we have. With Mary Kay we have skin care for all stages of your life. If we start when we are young we will carry the habit for the rest of our lives. And our skin will love us for it!

Tell us about the skincare lines that Mary Kay offers specifically for teens.

That would be our Botanical Effects or our Clear Proof Acne System. Our Botanical Effects comes in three formulas, Dry, Normal or Oily. Botanical Effects is plant based so it’s hypoallergenic and formulated without synthetic dyes or fragrances which makes it gentle on the skin. And the packaging was created to be gentle on the earth. The Clear Proof Acne System clears up blemishes without irritation and helps maintain a clear complexion. You see clearer skin in just seven days.

What advice would you give young teens just starting to experiment with makeup?

First and foremost, I would tell anyone but specifically early teens, to make a sunscreen a part of their daily routine. You will tan with a sunscreen. You will burn without it and cause sun damage that will show up later in life. I wish someone would have told me that when I was young. And secondly, make up is supposed to enhance the beauty you already possess. Less is more.
