when did you start wearing make up?!?

Question

like REAL make up, not the little kid lip gloss and blush. ya know what I mean. and do you regret wearing it that young/old?
thanks so much!

Answer 1

I started my junior year in high school. ♥

Answer 2

16 actually, much older than the others here. Well, you did say full on makeup. I didn't feel the need to wear makeup that early in life anyway since I don't care much for young boys lol. Then when you reach a certain age you realise that you look kinda matured and actually need makeup. When you are young you always look great without makeup. Sometimes makeup looks clownish on a young person.

Answer 3

I was 11. I didn't need foundation as most 11 year olds don't so I didn't wear it. I used everything else though. I started wearing foundation on and off in 7th grade.
I do not regret wearing it that young because I love make-up and learned how to apply it properly.

Answer 4

I started wearing just eyeshadow in 8th grade. Last year I started using foundation, and I started wearing heavier eye makeup (like adding liner and mascara.) I have really long and thick eyelashes so this looks great...I only do this once in a while though. I don't wear blush because my cheeks are naturally flushed and it kinda shows through my foundation.

I wore stage makeup on my arm to Texas Roadhouse. lol I didn't feel like washing it off after the play.

Answer 5

Too early for me. I think I was in six grade or so when I started really getting into adult makeup. What's worse is my mother supported the decision and made me feel bad when I didn't wear it. Now I only wear make-up when most necessary, or when I'm doing a performance. Not only have I realized that it causes damage to my skin (acne) but also to my self esteem.

It took me a long time to face who I really was under the make up especially because I used to get much more attention when I wore it often, so there would be a cycle of insecurity.

(Don't worry: My mother and I have worked out a lot of our problems lol.)

It's nice to dress up but not at the expense of the content of character.

Answer 6

Real makeup..you mean like foundation and blush and eyeshadows and masacara and the whole bit? I did all that when I was 18..got to college and got so busy that went back to just blush and lip gloss..it all depends. and i dont regret it.

Answer 7

I was 12.
I never wore a lo tof makeup.
I mean im 15 now and all i wear is Mascara becase my eyelashes are blonde.
I dont like the look of a lot of makeup.
And +90% of my friends are boys and they ALL agree.
natural looks a lot better.
Especialy once you find a boy, you know they think your beautiful for who you REALLY are, not the stuff on your face.
And when you two go out somewhere nice, maybe you could put on a little extra makeup for just special occasions. to make it special, not everyday.

Answer 8

I started wearing make-up when I was 13 in 7th grade, for Christmas I was given my first 'real' make-up (just blushes and eye shadows). Mascara wasn't even in the picture until the end of 7th grade!
I'm glad I started to wear it when I did, when I went back to school for 8th grade I really knew what I was doing when I was putting my make-up on.

Answer 9

Well in The 6th Grade all the girls started to wear eyeliner on the bottom, and I did too. Now I look back and thought I looked ridiculous. If you're going to start wearing makeup, start with a brown mascara. And don't wear too much, you don't want to look like a raccoon.

Answer 10

I started wearing little kid stuff at about 12, then really upgraded at the age of 14.

Answer 11

i am 19 and i still don't wear anything but mascara (-sometimes, when i remember to put it on). See, the thing is, i always thought that u would want to people to see how you really are, i mean with all your imperfections and occasional pimples, right? So why do you need to draw your face? I mean, ok, say you do it to attract guys, but at the end of the day, you will have to wash it off and he will see you as you are. so why lie?
