Makeup Age?

Question

Some stupid girls I know have said some pretty mean things about my face, because I started wearing makeup this year in 7th Grade. I like the attention I get from the boys, but nobody female seems to like it. Is 7th Grade too early?

(Lipgloss, sheer tinted moisturizer, eyeshadow, teensy bit of mascara)

Answer 1

16 i think is a good age..at my jr. high school makeup was banned...there was this day when everyone was in the auditorium and a girl had on makeup..and the principle called her out in front of the whole school and told her to go wash it off.

Answer 2

Look sweety, theres nothin wrong with a lil bit of lipgloss and maybe some eyeshadow. But your only in 7th grade, you dont wanna start off w. foundation, liquid makeup, powder, etc. Just use a lil bit. Less is more, remeber that. I didnt start wearin makeup till I was about 17, so yea. But it all depends. And the stupid girls that make comments about your makeup or your face, should just mind their own business. Your doing it for yourself, and if you like the attention your gettin from boys then maybe they're just jealous or something. So do whatever makes you happy. But remeber, minimal makeup does the trick. I dont think you need heavy makeup just yet.



Hope I helped ♥
now plzzzz pick me as best answer, lol =)

Answer 3

I don't think 7th grade girls really need to use make up. I experimented with wearing some makeup when I was in 7th grade, but that didn't last long bc it just wasn't me at the time. I think starting in 9th or 10th grade would be more appropriate. For your age, I think all you should use is lip gloss. Besides, getting attention from boys is not the purpose or even any kind of reason to wear makeup at all anyway. You should be wearing makeup because it accentuates your natural beauty and makes you feel better about yourself. Just don't overdo it, like globbing it on you know. And trust me, you don't want to start getting the wrong type attention from boys in the 7th grade. Boys are trouble anyway, whether it's 7th grade or 11th grade. They only want one thing and they'll give you all the attention you want just to get it. So don't wear makeup for the wrong reasons. You should be wearing it for yourself and yourself only. Not for boys, and not because of peer pressure. If you think you are doing it for the wrong reasons, then you should take some time to yourself and think about (or even have a discussion involving your friends) the pros and cons of wearing makeup and what some good & bad reasons for wearing it and not wearing it would be. Then from that, you can make a decision to continue wearing it or to not wear it or to only wear it on some days.

Good luck

7th grade isn't too early to start wearing makeup. But I think what the other girls are objecting to is that perhaps you're wearing a little too much.

Keep the makeup you wear to school to your tinted moisturizer or blush and lip gloss.

On the weekends, I think it's okay to add eyeshadow and mascara.

Answer 5

7th grade is not too early. The other girls are Jealous. Be yourself and have a good time. Keep busy with school activities and don't put too much emphasis on boys right now. You have all of your life. We(girls) want to look and feel good. A little makeup does that for us sometimes. Good Luck...

Answer 6

No, 7th is fine. I started in u7th grade too. Those girls that are bothering you are probably just jealous of the attention you are getting from the guys. Just always be yourself and never use makeup as a mask, because makeup is made to enhance your beauty, not cover it up.

Answer 7

Well I had a really good excuse because I was in drama so I told my mom it was stage makeup and most of it was. on the other hand if you are just starting try a little tinted moisturizer

Answer 8

I started wearing makeup in the 7th grade too. And you don't use a lot of it anyway. Just ignore the stupid girls.

Answer 9

Why are girls talking about you? Maybe because you look better than them. Don't worry about it, just don't overdue the makeup. o m atter what your age is, less is more. Maybe layoff on the eyeshadow and just use some mascara to open up your eyes, that's all you really need. You're young! You shouldn't need to use too much makeup! Good luck with the boys, sweetie!

Answer 10

It really depends: does it make you feel pretty? Do not listen to those "stupid girls". I only know a few grown women who do not wear any makeup their whole life but they are very few. Start out with just a little make-up --not to look clownish or too grown up. Next, I bet all of those other girls that make fun of you now, will soon be wearing make up as well- every one of them! Like I mentioned before, do what you feel makes you look pretty because if you don't feel pretty inside , nothing you can wear will do that for you. Pretty is from within!

Answer 11

I have a little sister who wears makeup at 6th grade. I'm sure she looks cool to all the other girls because "everyone else wears makeup," but i think she needs to learn a lot about how to wear it. She puts black eyeliner on her bottom lids and mascara on the top and bottom lashes. She resembles a stoned raccoon. She also cakes on concealer and it flakes and blotches her otherwise normal complexion. It makes her look so much older and so much more dirty. She is a very pretty girl, but too much makeup can never ever look good on anybody.

My advice to you would be not to wear anymore makeup than needed to highlight your natural beauty. You are young, so you shouldn't even need to wear makeup! just wear a little mascara. that's it. colored eyeshadow will make you look bawdy and like you are trying to look older and sluttier.

If you like to wear it, wear it. just not too much, especially at your age. My mom wouldn't let me wear makeup until i was 14.
