Whats a good age to start wearing makeup?
i would say when you get into high school... resist the temptation to look like you are dancing in the moulin rouge though.. a little lipgloss and some mascara, maybe... eyeshadow is easy to overdo, so practice first... personally,i like girls who are confident enough in their natural beauty that they don't feel they need to try and enhance it (which often makes a girl look worse)... and, being a typical teenage guy, i know most boys think that way, too





though, if you don't have a sister or family member that will help you, clinique has counters at most department stores that are amazing, according to my mom, and will help you decide and teach you to apply age-appropriate makeup... another way is to ask a teacher at school that you find pretty and tasteful, and ask them how they do their makeup
Wearing makeup at a young age is very unhealthy to your skin. Many people new at wearing makeup do not know how to put on only a hint of makeup and/or do not wash it off when they go home. I think the right age is about 14 -16 yrs old, depending on how responsible you are in taking good care of your skin. I remembered people in middle school started wearing make up at age 12, and many people looked fine up until our junior year of HS. Then during our senior year their skin looked awful without makeup because they did not take care of their skin
very lightly at 13, like a bit of press powder and a little bit of mascara, but nothing more. Then about 15 %26gt; you would be old enough to know what suits you, what looks trashy and what looks sweet, and how much is too much. Im 19 and didnt start wearing makup til i was in year 10, so about 16 =) Makeup too young makes you look like a try hard i think. But thats my opinion, i mean, some young girls have the makeup thing down packed! Others just look like they're trying way too hard to be cool.
dont start too early, enjoy your childhood while you have it :D I think you can probably start wearing real makeup(like lipstick and eyeshadow and clush etc) around 16/17 if you want....but you can just use lip gloss and eye liner for now and that still gives you a ';pretty'; look. Too much make up doesnt always look good, depending on the occasion.
it depends on the maturity of the person and the reason.


is it to cover up a bad complexion or to make yourself look older? makeup can make you look great if applied correctly, and just the opposite if its layered on.. the more natural you look, the more you will get looked at for all the right reasons.


age no younger than 14.
i started at ten, but then i realized that makeup made my skin oily so to keep my make-up privelages, i had to cleanse my face every night. When ever i want something new ( of make up, like foundation) i'd have to remember to cleanse my face everyday for a month. On the first, I get Bronzer and pouder foundation :D

well i think that weareing makeup has a huge posibilty of having acne my mom is one of those people who reserch about acne. and my oppinon is that you shoukld keep your natraul beuty because make up just make it worse and even tough i think you start wearing it by 17%26amp;18
There is no certain age that is good to start. I wear make-up because I get to bring out certain qualities of myself, and Mainly i use it to cover acne. I think that you should love yourself, and you are pretty and sometimes makeup makes people look worse
I wore some at some point in middle school. I will say though that make-up isn't necessarily good since some of it can have harsh effects on your skin. So if you're pretty young, be sure to do some research before purchasing and such so you won't do permanent harm to your skin.
well i've know girls that started wearing make up since 13 but i'm 16 and i barely had to wear make up. i think it's because i didn't start getting like a lot of pimples until now


plus i never liked the make up i just use covergirl clean makeup and that's it
I am almost 11 and i just wear lip gloss and eye shadow and cover up. I only think that when your younger you start our with lighter stuff like lip gloss then as you get older you wear more.





But only when you need it. not like every day. For me, thats overdoing it.
any age i think when ever you want if your not happy with yourself then put on some make up in not saying to cover it up i just when i don't wear makeup i don't look so great so when i was in grade 8 i hated the way i looked i put on make up and my attitude changed
14/15 any younger and it's just weird and abnormal. 14/15 it should be applied subtly and from then on they can grow and expand on it but just thinking about 12 year olds running around with mascara and blush just makes me shiver.
depends on what you define as ';makeup'; lip smackers and mabye a little mascara is ok for the 11-12 year old range, but ';real makeup'; with powder, foundation etc. should start when the girl reaches high school.
When you are old enough to understand if you put it on, you also need to take it off before bed and start a proper cleansing/moisturizing beauty routine.
well depends you can start around12 if its not too much as you start getting older and go to high school you can put a little more on.


hope i helped.
Wait until you feel comfortable with wearing makeup. Honestly I don't think teenagers need it.
i started in junior high..





but i'm 19 now and all i wear is foundation..








sometimes i'll spruce it up and add MASCARA.. lol.
13 or 14. You know, once you abandon your innocence from elementary school and go into highschool.
12. I think maybe you could wear light eyeshadow. Not too much makeup but you can definatley wear some.
depends on the kid. Usually the age of 13 I'd say. But not heavy stuff. Just lip gloss, mascara.. maybe some eyeliner.
i'm 13 and i'm still not allowed to wear makeup but my parents say i get to wear makeup when i'm around 15 or 16... so around 15 is a good age
I started wearing makeup when I was 12,


but I think that was a little too young. So, maybe 13 or 14 would be a good age.
14 is a good age i think but dont ever feel like you HAVE to wear makeup. I like a girl who has natural beauty
12, no younger than that though.


But at 12, go easy on eyeliner.
I'm sure your beautiful without makeup, but 15 would be a good age.
a good age would be 14. because u r starting high school and girls like to look a little bit older.
probably 14 becuase your just starting high school but most girls look better without make up
Doesn't matter as long you don't look like a ';hooker'; at your age.
13 deffintatly. that's when i started wearing make up,, and i'm 14=]
