I started when I was 13 with a little concealer, powders, brown mascara and gloss. Don’t cover up you natural beauty or try to look older with a lot of eye makeup. You’ll have plenty of years to be more exotic. Be young!

Well I was 17 and the only thing I wore was lip gloss and a little mascara thats about it…I think the good age would be around 17/18

at the age where you feel comfortable. i’m fourteen, and i still don’t wear it. but some of my friends started at eleven (euch. too early in my opinion), and some of my other friends didn’t start until they were in their late teens. if i ever do wear it, though, i use a zit and undereye concealer, and a light goldish tan eyeshadow. flattering without too much color.

whatever age you feel you need it.lipgloss and eye shadow and mascara would be good to start out with.

I started wearing makeup when I was 13 and I wasn’t so great at it, in fact my face didn’t match my neck and the colors I used didn’t compliment each other. Now as a model and being that I work with many MUA’s I know what I was doing wrong. You should go to MAC and let them teach you how to do your makeup, they’ll match your skin tone with the right foundation colors and right makeup for you. Good luck!

If your skin is nice try not to wear foundation. You should apply a sunblock and moisturizer though. I started wearing make-up at 17. Only mascara and lip gloss though. I’ve found most guys don’t like a lot of make-up. The more natural the better. Nothing wrong with enhancing your features though.
Comment by kindofclumsy — October 11, 2008 @ 8:01 am
don’t start until highschool, and wear a neutral eyeshadow and lipgloss to start. if you really want to wear make up be careful, and try eyeliner, you may tear up the first few times cuz of the irritation. then eventually go to mascara.
dont put on too much foundation. if its obvious you are wearing make-up, you are wearing too much.
also, the longer you put off wearing it, the better. on some mornings when you dont have time or just feel lazy and dont put make up on, oh boy people can tell, and then they may think that you are not actually pretty because there is such a difference sometimes. natural beauty is the best.

WELL, NOW I HAVE TO THINK ON THIS ONE CAUSE IT WAS HUNDRED YEARS AGO FOR ME………I WAS 14 YRS OLD WHEN I STARTED AND IT WAS ONLY MASCARA..THEN THE NEXT YR. I GOT TO WEAR PERFUME , MASC RA, AND A VERY LIGHT PINK LIPSTICK…WE DIDN’T HAVE ALL THE CHOICES OF STUFF THAT YOU GIRLS HAVE NOW….AND IT JUST ON LIKE THAT TILL I WAS 17 YRS AND ON MY OWN…THEN I WORE ALL THE STUFF. CAUSE I DIDN’T HAVE ANYONE TO TELL ME DIFFERENT……….

I started wearing it every day when i was 12. Im 13 now, and all i wear is Black eyeliner, with black mascara. Occasinaly i’ll wear eye shadow. Go easy on the makeup. to much will make u look like your trying to hard.

As soon as is necessary. Young children put on makeup when they are performing in a play. Which indicates that purposeful makeup is meaningful makeup to enhance the appearance.

I started wearing makeup at the old age of 18, because my family belongs to a religious sect that strictly forbids women from wearing any makeup at all. In my opinion, by the time a girl’s body begins to develop breasts and wider hips, she may start wearing some lip gloss, face powder, a little eyeliner and a coat of mascara. Maybelline NY recently launched the Pure H2O line, which is aimed at young girls just beginning to wear makeup. These products may be a good option for you to try. Good luck, pretty girl!

i have never worn alot of makeup. you dont have to wear alot to make yrself look better. its all about how you put it on to acheive a better look not how much. i was about 15 when i started
Comment by yums — October 27, 2008 @ 1:07 pm
8th grade I started out with wearing just a little bit, mostly the stuff from like Drug Stores such as Cover Girl…I wore a little bit of powder to even out my skin tone, mascara, and colored lip gloss….but then when I got in High School I started wearing the same kind of makeup my mom uses, which is Bare Minerals. Its the best kind of make up especially for Young Skin cause it wont cause you to break out even more. (just remeber less is always more!)

i started at about 6th grade 12 or 13
Comment by amberbamber — October 29, 2008 @ 5:42 pm
you dont want to look like a hoochie-mama. if you’re pretty (which im sure you are) then the less, the better! maybe a little mascara and some lip gloss…. but why cover that pretty face up!!?? I hardly wear any….
NOTE: thick eye liner can make you look like a cheap hooker. be smart, dont do it. also, no drastic colors. NATURAL is the way to go.

I started wearing makeup when i was 12 probably 11. but just rememberthat makeup isn’t the true key to beauty, especially cuz if u wear it too much you could get bad acne.
Comment by Davina M — November 4, 2008 @ 1:00 pm

Comment by kkk09 — November 5, 2008 @ 7:27 pm

Comment by samson — November 8, 2008 @ 10:48 am
I think around 13 or when you get to middle school is good.
Comment by Bre — November 9, 2008 @ 11:12 pm
I believe when I started wearing make up I was about 14. It was because I was in Colorguard however. Now I am 17 and I really don’t like clogging up my face with stuff so I usually just wear some eyeliner and occasionally some mascara. When you decide to wear makeup should be when you feel comfortable wearing it. Just don’t go overboard that you’ll look like a clown. Natural is best.
Comment by Curious_Camo_Jess — November 13, 2008 @ 4:02 am
i was 11 or 12&& all i wore was clear masscara (my eyelashes r relly dark!), lite peach,lite brown, or pink eyeshadow && lite lipgloss was all!

I started the Christmas of 7th grade. My theory is less is more. I don’t own foundation, and i almost never use concealer. i wear eyeshadow and mascara, but don’t usually use blush because my cheeks are naturally pink. eye liner can go both ways. I don’t wear it. most girls i know way over do it w/ colors too dark for them and caking it on, (yes eyeliner!) and end up looking like trash.
Comment by Mackenze — November 14, 2008 @ 12:24 pm
well i wore make up alot because im a dancer but i really started to wear it when i was 14 because before that i was somewhat of a tom boy, skater/surfer girl. most of my make-up was mac because thats what my sister used.
Comment by 1nerual — November 15, 2008 @ 10:06 pm
I started when I was like 5 but that was only playing, i’ve always had an intrest in it, why I want to go into now, but in 6 grade I wore eyeliner/shadow/gloss to concerts and in 7 grade same thing on the weekends and after school now in 8 my parents are used to it and don’t care and I wear shine free powder liner and gloss
Comment by darkblood981 — November 16, 2008 @ 9:00 am
I started wearing makeup when I went to Junior high, it was neutral color eye shadow, mascara and some lip gloss. Go to Wal-mart and places like that. I don’t recomend buying expensive makeup untill you’re older
Comment by Michelle L — November 16, 2008 @ 8:45 pm
I think the best age to start wearing real make up(not lip gloss or a little blush but like mascara and foundation ect.) is 16. I still dont wear make up.
Comment by dlc — November 18, 2008 @ 12:06 am
I started at 10, but that was only a little gold/brown eyeshadow and nude/pink lipgloss. I added the eyeliner and mascara when I was about 13.

My mom says sixteen, but I’m currently ten (drat).
Comment by ♥Sania K♥ — November 21, 2008 @ 8:37 am
i say about sixteen because if u start wearing makeup early it makes u look older than u already r

I used to sneak make up and put it on at school when I was 13. Then when my mom found out, she allowed me to wear a little bit of makeup - lipstick or gloss and mascara.
