How old should you be before you start to wear makeup?

Question

Like, how old were you wen you started wearing makeup, and what kind of makeup did you start with?

Answer 1

I started when I was 13 with a little concealer, powders, brown mascara and gloss. Don't cover up you natural beauty or try to look older with a lot of eye makeup. You'll have plenty of years to be more exotic. Be young!

Answer 2

I believe when I started wearing make up I was about 14. It was because I was in Colorguard however. Now I am 17 and I really don't like clogging up my face with stuff so I usually just wear some eyeliner and occasionally some mascara. When you decide to wear makeup should be when you feel comfortable wearing it. Just don't go overboard that you'll look like a clown. Natural is best.

Answer 3

I started wearing makeup at the old age of 18, because my family belongs to a religious sect that strictly forbids women from wearing any makeup at all. In my opinion, by the time a girl's body begins to develop breasts and wider hips, she may start wearing some lip gloss, face powder, a little eyeliner and a coat of mascara. Maybelline NY recently launched the Pure H2O line, which is aimed at young girls just beginning to wear makeup. These products may be a good option for you to try. Good luck, pretty girl!

Answer 4

I started wearing makeup when I was 13 and I wasn't so great at it, in fact my face didn't match my neck and the colors I used didn't compliment each other. Now as a model and being that I work with many MUA's I know what I was doing wrong. You should go to MAC and let them teach you how to do your makeup, they'll match your skin tone with the right foundation colors and right makeup for you. Good luck!

Answer 5

don't start until highschool, and wear a neutral eyeshadow and lipgloss to start. if you really want to wear make up be careful, and try eyeliner, you may tear up the first few times cuz of the irritation. then eventually go to mascara.
dont put on too much foundation. if its obvious you are wearing make-up, you are wearing too much.
also, the longer you put off wearing it, the better. on some mornings when you dont have time or just feel lazy and dont put make up on, oh boy people can tell, and then they may think that you are not actually pretty because there is such a difference sometimes. natural beauty is the best. :D

Answer 6

I started wearing makeup when i was 12 probably 11. but just rememberthat makeup isn't the true key to beauty, especially cuz if u wear it too much you could get bad acne.

Answer 7

If your skin is nice try not to wear foundation. You should apply a sunblock and moisturizer though. I started wearing make-up at 17. Only mascara and lip gloss though. I've found most guys don't like a lot of make-up. The more natural the better. Nothing wrong with enhancing your features though.

Answer 8

I started when I was like 5 but that was only playing, i've always had an intrest in it, why I want to go into now, but in 6 grade I wore eyeliner/shadow/gloss to concerts and in 7 grade same thing on the weekends and after school now in 8 my parents are used to it and don't care and I wear shine free powder liner and gloss

Answer 9

8th grade I started out with wearing just a little bit, mostly the stuff from like Drug Stores such as Cover Girl...I wore a little bit of powder to even out my skin tone, mascara, and colored lip gloss....but then when I got in High School I started wearing the same kind of makeup my mom uses, which is Bare Minerals. Its the best kind of make up especially for Young Skin cause it wont cause you to break out even more. (just remeber less is always more!)

Answer 10

I started wearing it every day when i was 12. Im 13 now, and all i wear is Black eyeliner, with black mascara. Occasinaly i'll wear eye shadow. Go easy on the makeup. to much will make u look like your trying to hard.
