...makeup on a thirteen year old?

Question

do you think thirteen is too young a age to be wearing street makeup?

Answer 1

Most people I know started wearing makeup when they were 14. I don't see why the rush so soon. But if you do decide to wear makeup, make it look natural.

Answer 2

I did this, when my daughter was 13 the rule was this, for picture portraits, special occasions such as school dances and other formal functions makeup was acceptable, ( I put it on her, I am a makeup artist) I had final say, and the look I taught her to do was simple and natural and the key word is "natural" when she got into high school she was allowed to wear makeup everyday. Of course I had the final say and I don't think I have had to make her remove it at all. Keeping lines of communication open is the key, the minute you rebel you open yourself up for all sorts but a very important step to remember is if you are wearing makeup, YOU MUST have a skin care regime or by the time you are forty, you skin will be a mess. For everyday you go to bed with your makeup on, your skin ages 7 days or more.
It is hard enough during adolescence with acne blackheads etc, so take care of your skin and try to avoid dark dark colour on the inside of your eye not good for you or your eye.

Answer 3

At thirteen (or almost any teenager) a lot of makeup is not a good look. At that age, appreciate the natural look of youth! A little lip gloss, maybe some mascara, a little coverup for blemishes... too much and teenagers start looking like child prostitutes which is not at all pretty.

Answer 4

What is "street makeup"?

In general, I would say 13 is too young. In this day and age, it is important to put controls on what young teens are up to; make up is just one way to do that. I would, however, say that a small amount of makeup is acceptable. For example, mascara, lip gloss, and cover up (if needed).

Answer 5

i dont think your too young...im just saying that cause im 16 now and i started wearing makeup since i was 12...but i didnt go all out like i do now...wen i was 12 i wuld wear lipgloss that was a hint of pink and a little mascara cause my eyelashes are short and not very visible...now i just wear my eyeliner with a little bronzer and thats it...sometimes i put mascara on but w.e...just make sure u dont wear too much makeup...just remember makeup is used to coverup or to show more of a fearture...but if u start to wear a lot of makeup now you will get pimples and it will clog your pores which is never any good...just put some lipgloss on and thats all you need for now...

Answer 6

I dont think thirteen year olds should whear make up they should at least wait untill they are sixteen. It dosnt send out a verry good message to all kinds of people and they are some weird people in the world.

Answer 7

YES, far too young!

A 13-year-old girl is not a streetwalker, so she should NOT try to look like one.

Most 13 year old girls are FAR prettier if they let the REAL GIRL shine through and leave OFF the makeup. By the way, it is also FAR better for their skin.

Answer 8

I started when I was 13, but I kept it very natural and got a lot of compliments, so maybe you should try this:

Eyes-soft colors of eyeshadow! Pastels-pinks purples and browns. No eyeliner or mascara yet.... curl your lashes. Just with that, you will have very pretty eyes.

Cheeks-you don't need anyblush at this age!

Lips-a tinted lip gloss... very suttle, nothing outrageous! =) maybe a pinkish brown.

Keep it natural, that way you are enhancing your natural beauty and not covering it up!

Answer 9

Well talk to a female adult it and if she gives you the go ahead keep it simple and have someone who wears makeup (besides a clown) show you how to use everthing if you are not able to wear makeup lipgloss is a little shimmer that can un chap your lip and add color!!! Good luck!!

Answer 10

Yes. They have such beautiful skin. The little girls are maturing so fast these days I would not want to rush them along. 13 is too young for makeup. Maybe a little pink nailpolish but that's it.
