Do you think 8th grade is too young to be wearing eyeshadow, lip gloss, and mascara?

Answer 1

lipgloss us okay, but eyeshadow and mascara wait til high school.

Answer 2

I think it's completely natural to want to experiment with makeup in eighth grade. You see it in magazines, television, and let's face it, who doesn't want to figure out how to be prettier? But one question I have is why do you want to wear it? If you just want to mess around and see what the different ways to apply it are, and what different looks you can come up with, I think it's fine to do on the weekends and with your friends, but I think wearing it to school may be a little inappropriate. If you are doing it to attract boys, then I think yes, you are way too young. Not to mention at that age, your skin is still is still maturing, and wearing makeup everyday will only clog pores and increase dirt on your face...creating pimples (which is much worse than going makeup-less). If it's something you have asked your parents about, and they have already said no, then once again yes, you are too young. Is lip gloss and mascara really worth getting grounded over? Do you really want to stay home while all your friends go out cause you couldn't stay away from the eyeshadow? I'm sure that's most people would agree it's not worth it. So take a look at why you want to wear it, talk about it with your parents, and see if you guys can come to a compromise (like lip gloss, but no eye makeup).

Answer 3

all at the sam time yes u r still young if ur in 8th grade so wait until highschool for the mascara wearing lipgloss is good enough if u need mascara n eyeshadow to look pretty then i would say only curl the eyelashes or use clear mascara after i curl them n use lipgloss its a very natural look so when u dont use it people wont think u look weird trust me
when i was in 8th grade my frined ude to wear all that make up n i asked her not to wear it one day n she was acting regular n a guy in our class asked her if she was sick or something but if was just because everybody was so use to seeing her with makeup so i would say go very simple so that in highschool u can have a different look n look prettier with the mascara

Answer 4

I began wearing makeup around the same age, however, I don't believe that children that young should be walking out of the house wearing blue eyeshadow, Liz Taylor think eyeliner, ruby red lipstick and bright pink blush. Light colors and clear lipglosses are perfectly acceptable, but I think anything extreme at that age is a bit too much. Let's save that for high school, eh?

Answer 5

No, that's when I started wearing all of that. If you think she's too young to wear the darker stuff, get her brown mascara and neutral eyeshadow colors. Also, instead of lip gloss, get her chap-stick that will give her lips some shine and color. For example, two great ones are Blistex silk and shine and Bonnebelle's Dr. pepper.

Answer 6

I Honestly do since im Mexican and wasnt allowed to wear makeup until I was 15. BUT I think some pastel colors for eye shadows, and some lip gloss would look ok. Not mascara, you'll look taky and like a hooker.

Answer 7

Well, if you ask me, it's okay to wear lip gloss in the eigth grade. Maybe not lipstick, cuz it looks kind of odd...If you do go for lipstick, go for something soft...You don't want to over do it. Eyeshadow is probably okay, as well as mascara. But do NOT overdo it, cuz then youll end up looking ridiculous. Something soft. Barely noticable. Dont bring it on heavy.

Answer 8

No way! I am in 7th and i am not sure if u r a mom or the 8th grader but i certainly dont think so. I wear everything but mascara and eyeliner. My mom says I am to young but I really disagree. As long as you wash ur face properly I dont see what the problem is.

Answer 9

As long as you don't look like a clown or like you are 21. Lipgloss is ok and if you are using eyeshadow and mascara make sure its natural looking. I'm a sophmore in college and I still don't know how to wear make-up so I envy you!

tell me what you think!

Answer 11

no, unless the eyeshadow is applied incorrectly or is the wrong shade. a light, bronze/brown complements anyone, just use very little. lip gloss is great but super chrome-y lips are kind of showy and stupid. and mascara is fine but if you're a blonde or light redhead, don't get black black mascara!
