What type of makeup do you think is allowed for a 12 year old?

Question

i wear some but not a lot just bronzer, mascara and eyeliner

Answer 1

Try to go as natural as possible. Nothing heavy. Maybe a little bronzer, some lip gloss, a light eye shadow, and mascara that matches your lash color. I would wait a couple of years before you start using eye liner. There is a great new line of mineral makeup for teens & tweens. Look under resources below. They have fun stuff for girls.

Just remember to try to keep your makeup looking natural. You don't want to look like a clown. Don't grow up too fast. One of the most important things to remember is to use sunscreen everyday.

Answer 2

When I was 12, I was only allowed to wear lip gloss and eye shadow. I wasn't allowed to buy any dark eye makeup, such as eyeliner and mascara, until I was well into my midteens. Although... I kind of bought it on a school field trip to the mall when I was 13 without telling my parents... but that's besides the point, lol.

I think that you should cut down the eye makeup. Honestly, unless you wear a lot or its a different color, eyeliner barely shows up, so until you get older I would reccommend cutting down on that. With the mascara, I don't see anythhing wrong with wearing a bit as long as your mom apprives. 13 is the age to rebel, hehe. I don't think you have a need for bronzer unless its summertime at your age... not that you're too young, but unless you're really pale, you don't really need it. Although if you want to wear it, that;s fine. I think that if you want, you can definitely wear tinted lip gloss or light eye shadow.

Answer 3

It might sound like I'm patronizing you, but honestly, try to wait until you're at lease 14/15 to start wearing make up. Bronzer and foundation clogs your pores and I'm sure if you cleanze tone and moisturize at such a young age that it'll stuff your skin up. You should enjoy this time when your skin is problem free!

You should definatley not wear mascara or eyeline as it ages you. 12 year olds should look like 12 year olds.

Answer 4

Honestly, at 12, you shouldn't bother with anything other than Lip Gloss and at most, if you are in middle school, experiment with some shadow and an occassional mascara. Just remember, you most likely won't be any good at applying makeup, so practice at home (and that has nothing to do with age, everyone needs to practice applying makeup)

Answer 5

A little lip gloss and a light shade of eyeshadow, and let her know that less is more. if there are a few imperfections that she would like covered I would recommend a tinted moisturizer with SPF, to protect the skin from damage caused by sun, pollution and smoking etc. Remember if she starts to cover up imperfections at a young age she might have a hard time accepting them when she is older.That could lead to cosmetic surgery through bad decisions, not to mention potential for extreme insecurity.

Beauty comes from within!

Answer 7

I would suggest something that is subtle, like earth tone eyeshadow, a little brown or black mascara but only on the top lash but no eyeliner, wait till ur a lil older

Answer 8

i would recomend just a little so that it looks very natural and pretty and brings out ur best features. but don't wear much right now. i would say to go for mascara, eyeshadow or eyeliner, and lip gloss

Answer 9

Girl, I'm 12! I can wear makeup: eyeliner, mascara, powder! It's fine, all you need to do is wipe it off at night to keep your skin clean! I put on sunscreen before makeup cuz it helps you skin when you older... :]] Goood Lucckk!

Answer 10

probably just some lipgloss because makeup gets into ur pores, which will cause pimples. And u do not want any pimples do u lol? Probably some mascara is okay though but thats all.
