What age can you start wearing lipstick?

Question

i want to wear either a berry red or a peach lipstick but i heard it looks bad on people under 16... is that true?
do you think i could pull it off as a mature 13/14 year old?

i am just sick of lip gloss...
but i mean a natural color.

okay so no berry (even though its the IT color of fall) but would a pale pink or peach be okay?

Answer 1

You do what's best for you. You do not need anyone's approval. But remember, whatever you do today, it will reflect on who you are in the future. Not just with lipstick,but any other makeup, it can lead to premature aging.

If you choose to wear lipstick anyways, I recommend the peach or beige. Not only it looks modern but also, light and natural. I suggest you rather use a lip balm rather than lipstick because lip balms protect your lips.Make sure you get one that has SPF 15.

Lipsticks have been around since ancient ages and 1 in 2 women wear lipstick on the daily.

Now,lipgloss, I am somewhat against. One day you will know what it symbolizes (I learned in High School), and it's too provocative.

But, good luck! Just don't make it a top priority in your list. Natural beauty is the best thing!

13

My niece put it on when she was 3. She was so ADORABLE!!! It went around her lips, up to her nose, and to each ear. *sigh* She's 17, now and knows how to apply make-up.

I think you need to just put some on and see what YOU think when you look in the mirror. Red looked strange on me, when I was 13.

**EDIT**
Pale peach or pink would be good... something that only darkens your lips slightly from natural. Reason being is, yes you are on the young side of wearing make-up... and anything darker would just be overkill. You are not too young to be experimenting with makeup, though. I started experimenting when I was about 13. I would buy magazines like Seventeen, and try to take their make-up tip advice... this was back in 1974.

Answer 4

Dark lipstick isn't a good choice for anyone under 18, and even then it's risky. Stick to peaches, pinks, light plums and sheers. They really are more flattering. Berry red is tough to pull off at any age! lol

Answer 5

Go for the peach....darker colors do tend to come off too strong on younger girls. I didnt start wearing lipstick until I was about 20 to be honest. Dark colored lipstick works well only for big nights out. As an adult I only wear dark colors when I go out at night/ dates etc.

Answer 6

A deep red would probably look silly for everyday wear, and even for a fancier occasion I think it's best left to the more sultry, adult types. The peach would be nice as long as you have some minimal other makeup to balance out your face (like light mascara or something).

Answer 7

13/14 what are you in such a hurry for? soon enough you will be doing all the grown up stuff because you have to not cause you want to. then you wont want to and it will be a job a chore and who likes that stuff not me 29 years old. so kick back you are young and trust me you want to look as young as possible cause for reals it dont last forever and thats facts lil one. a shiny gloss or chap sticks with a tint in them is very appropriate.

Answer 8

When your parents allow it. Hahaha! Seriously though, I'd say 15-16 years old. Always go for more neutral colors though. Nothing too bright or crazy.

Answer 9

It doesn't look bad. Don't use too much.

This is a good thing to ask an older relative or your mom about in terms of how it's going to work for you.

Answer 10

Pale pink or peach always looks ok. It's sexy and cute and i'm sure you can pull it off. :)
