How old were you when you started wearing make up?

Question

I'd like to start wearing make up because I'm starting the junior high....A girl saw who is just a year older than me(starting 7th grade)was wearing makeup this summer..I'd like to start wearing make up but i wondder if i'm too young.I'd want to take it up with my mom with facts before i bring it up.

I'd like to start using eyeliner or mascasra and some lip gloss is that ok for an 11 year old?

Answer 1

I was ur age well that wasnt a long time ago because Im 12 almost 13. I would just start out with eyeshadow and lip gloss then a bit latr u can start using blush and eyeliner... If u want to wear everything that fine but I would start little by little.
FYI If u wear makeup everyday ur face is going to grow old and when u dont wear makeup u will look lder than you are.

Answer 2

I'm 14 and I started wearing a little makeup at 11....just lip gloss then, but I started wearing a light blush and a soft mascara when I was 12. What's important is not that people see it, it's important to make it look like it's not there, and that it's natural. Try the newest issue of CosmoGirl, they have a page layout about the dewy, natural look, and it's really helpful. Good luck and have fun in Junior High! =)

Answer 3

I still don't wear make up and I'm 22 years old.
I only wear it when it's a formal or special occasion OR at work when I feel I look pale or something, but wearing it every day, especially at school...that was never for me...unless you're talking about some colored lip gloss or some light eye shadow...that's not so bad...

I'd say a good age is 16...

Remember that you want your face to breathe...and the more make up you wear the more your skin doesn't breathe...

Answer 4

I was 13 when I first started wearing make up. I didn't wear a lot though, just a little shadow & either a light lip stick or a gloss. I didn't start wearing eye liner until & was about 15 (I had trouble finding one that would write on my eye)

Answer 7

I was twelve in the seventh grade. Try Bare escentuals it is a natural brand made from all minerals and goes on lightly. Just a little color (a pink) and some lip gloss and you would be good.

Answer 8

I've been wearing lip gloss sence I was, like 9, And make up sence I was 13.

Answer 9

Well, I dont wear makeup now, but my mom said that she will buy some for me before school starts. Im 13, and will be going into 8th grade.


But, most of the girls last year (7th grade) wore make up, and some 6th graders, BUT I WOULDNT RECOMEND IT FOR 6TH GRADERS.....lol

6th grade is too young

maybe in the middle of the year of 6th grade... idk, ask you mom to double check :D ♥

Answer 10

most girls start wearing makeup around junior high....sometimes parents are supportive and sometimes they are just worried ur growing up too soon...but i started around 6th grade but my parents didnt know and thats not the way you want to do it...just tell them how ur feeling and im sure they will support you

good luck
