    The look is simple enough that you could let your cousin do it but if you went to a department store makeup counter it wouldn't take them much time at all. The look has a shade of eyeshadow close to your skin tone all over the lid with a slightly darker neutral shade in the crease and winged eyeliner (very likely liquid eyeliner). If you were to ask for the look at a makeup counter you could tell them you want a basic pinup [girl] look for your eyes because that's pretty much what the look is.

    I would recommend a sheer coverage foundation (no SPF) with a small bit of blush and a neutral lip color with a small bit of gloss. You can still have a natural look with makeup and let your freckles show through. I suggest foundation and blush because you don't want to look washed out in your pictures and you don't want your eyes to be the only thing that stands out in your pictures.

    I hope that helps.
