When did you start wearing make-up?

I'm in the eight grade and I don't wear make-up, no offense, I just think most people overdo it with those things.

I was about 13/14 years old if I remember correctly. I only wore mascara to school. Still I only wear mascara and sometimes a little eyeliner. Only when I go out I wear more, like lipstick/gloss and/or eyeshadow. Sometimes a little powder to keep my skin from shining when it's hot, but never more then that. My eyes look really sleepy when I don't wear mascara, so I wear it every day, but only one layer (and I have glasses).

Just make sure that whenever you decide to start wearing make-up, you use it right. Use it to accentuate what is pretty about you, not to hide what you think is not. Don't use tons of it and never wear thick layers of foundation, it will only make you look fake. When people see you they should notice you, not the make-up you're wearing.

Make-up should help bring out your natural beauty, not put on a mask of someone you're not!

Hope this answers your question!

Love,

I'm actually turning 16 in a few days, I'm a sophomore in high school, and I still don't wear makeup. Only occasionally for special occasions. Maybe I'll wear a little cover up or lip balm, but that's about it (unless my mom comes and makes me go full out T_T)

But don't go all out at once. Go slowly. First start wearing a little blush, maybe some lip gloss. Later, move on to eyeshadow and mascara. Whatever you do, do not overuse it. It looks weird when people do that.

Personal opinion: You don't need too much makeup. You probably look fine without it. Besides, once people get used to seeing you in makeup, you'll look really weird if you don't wear it for a day. However, if you only wear a little, and then one day you really do it up nice, you'll look stunning :)

I'm 13 and that's when i started wearing make-up, i only do mascara and liner tho. Cuz i've seen girls who overdo it, and they either look like they want to be de-virginized or like a bitch who will rip ur head off. I kno this one girl who does too much make-up and acts like a slut most of the time. and i also kno this other girl who wears mascara so much, that her eyelashes r rly long and it doesn't look pretty, her eyes make her look fake and unemotional.

It's cool if u like wearing make-up, most of the time it brings out a feature like ur eyes or lips or somethin, but don't wear so much that u look like an over-done barbie doll.

i started wearing make-up in 5th grade. start out simple. like eye shadow and lip gloss then mwhin uve gotten used to that start with mascara. next would be lip liner and eye liner. and at the moment im at the starge with conceler. and after i have gotten used to that i will start with foundation.


hope this helps....and DON'T GO OVERBOARD A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY

WELL I started wearing lipgloss& mascara in 8th grade... but I hate it how most people now in my grade {11th} wear SO MUCH! like one of my best friends wears alot of eye shadow, eyeliner& mascara, she looks good but more beautiful without it... me& my Other bestie ONLY wear lipgloss, natural beauty is better :)

well im in 7th grade and i stil dont wear make up mostly cuz my mom and secondly becuz at our age y do we even need make up
maybe some mascara but nothin over the top like a whole mess of eyeliner and stuff like tht
personally i think you should wait till at least freshman year high skool

in 8th grade i would occasionally wear some mascara... maybe some very slight eye liner. i didnt start wearing more than a little bit of makeup until high-school. if u want 2, then u cud start. see wat ur friends wear, if they do. lipgloss is good, and mascara 2. make sure u dont overdo it like a lot of ppl do at young ages. hope this helped! xoxo, Lydia

I wore it at twelve but not too much i wear eye shadow only and sometimes mascara

I wear mascara and eyeliner...I hate foundation and blush...I started wearing it when i was 13 I think, dont over-do it
Start out with a little bit at first dont just layer it on the first time you do it =)

welli started wearing make up,my freahman year of high school,when i was 14.i stated off w/mascara.then thru the year started puting on eye liner.now im a sphmore and wearing eye shadow.i dont wear foundation alot.
but if your about to be a 7th grader,id wait till your in high school.your more mature then,and use this time while your in 7th grade to lern more about applying make up,and experiment w/it.dont rush it.and as you get older start wearing new things.
hoped i helped :)

i started wearing make-up when i was 13...i used to start with eyeliner..i dont remember where i learned that..but 1 thing i know..i was the one who influence my friends..

well i'm not doing it becuz:
1.ppl who thinks they're ugly or old do the make-up
2.it hearts my skin
3.i don't like

i dont use make up cuz it makes me feel old and ugly. lmfao.

Well, I started wearing makeup when I was 11. You know, a little bit of mascara and a tiny application of eyeliner. Then when I was 12, I started to wear lipgloss, but not loads because I didn't want people to think I was overdoing it. I'm 13 now and I wear eyeliner, not to much but enough so people can see it, mascara and I've gone off the lipgloss. I think you should start out by wearing little applications of mascara? Or if you prefer eyeliner. But as you start to get older you'll realise what makeup is for you. I've seen people a little older than you might be and they wear FAR too much makeup, it gives off a bad impression, so don't overdo it !! Hope this helps you choose !!

I started wearing make-up when I was 13 years old/7th grade. Since I have an oily complexion, I just started out wearing only face powder. Over that year I started to wear a little mascara since my eyelashes are blonde. I slowly built up from there over the years, but kept everything pretty natural looking. During that time I wore mostly CoverGirl, now I wear a variety of brands (each have pros and cons).

Now I like to play with make-up and do special effects :)

I'm a real late bloomer. I'm 19 now and I still don't really bother wearing anything but foundation just to cover blemishes. It's mainly because I had to teach myself how to use make up (I think I'm only just starting to get used to it) and I'm still not very good. If I started when I was 13 it would have been a total disaster. So I personally don't think it's necessary really at all until you're maybe 15 or 16. Plus it takes up a good 15 minutes from your day and I never found the time when I was getting ready school. I preffered to sleep in :)

im only in 6th grade so im not wearing make up but im going to start at grade 7/8 i think that might be the appropriate time

i really dont remember..but then again it was probably early.
i am a makeup artist now so bear with me when i get all preachy.

1) start with a good skincare routine- wash and moisturize the face daily esp at night and remove all makeup before sleeping. flaky patchy skin and makeup dont go together.
2) invest in a few good basics or ask for them for your bday. get two proper medium sized brushes. real hair! they will last you at least 10 years if you occasionally wash them with a mild shampoo. use those for powder and one for blush. just DONT even bother with the plastic shit and keep them clean!
3) you can pluck your eyebrows a little but only ON THE BOTTOM and NOT TOO MUCH. i can not tell you enough how important that is. people start plucking and then get carried away and end up looking silly...dont overdo it EVAR oooooor..the eyebrow elf will eat your family!
4) to start i would use some concealer where needed (spots/under eyes) and always dust off with powder to seal. people are shy aboot using powder cause they think it will look like a mask. it is vital to "seal" the concealer though cause..oh screw it just trust me! use translucent powder and not too much!
use some blush dont be shy aboot really buying a bright red or pink..you just dont need to apply a lot. it will look much fresher than a tawny brownish colour most people buy. use some mascara..you can start by only doing the top lashes or use brown instead of black for a more natural look.theeeeeen you can read my article on eyeliners and i suggest you try the "eyeshadow version"

for beginners lip glosses are a good way to experiment a little with colour. they are sheer and not too overpowering even when they look really bright in the packaging- once applied they will always look pretty natural. also nail polish is something you can try where you can try bolder colours and see what you like.

i would invest in a good concealer and powder cause those are on your skin all day. and the brushes SAY IT WITH ME: I WILL NOT BUY A CHEAP POWDER BRUSH!

the glosses and shadows can be cheap drugstore stuff cause its more fun when you can experiment a little and youll only be using a bit anyway.
also- and people never do this- practise! try to apply some makeup on a sunday or whenever..just see what you like/what works. you can always wash it off and as bobbi brown says: its not brainsurgery!
for some more ideas you can also search youtube. tons of girls (and guys) post makeup tutorials. they arent always right on what they say and sometimes do things that seem dangerously close to them losing an eye soon BUT its good for getting inspiration

i wuld say i started wearing make-up when i was about.... 12 or 13 mayb, im nt exactly sure. bt when i did start wearn it i wore, eyeliner(bt dnt wear it now) and mascare, and eye shadow, and blush. hope this helps any :)

I'm in year 9, which I think is the equivalent of 8th grade in England. I'm 13 anyway. I don't really wear much make-up, just a bit of lip gloss or lip stick for speacial occasions. I think wearing make-up can be a bit risky, cause girls in my school go round wearing so much mascara and Lip stuff and blusher and press powder and foundation and every type under the sun that it's a wonder they can get their heads off the ground.
But if you can do it right, wear it.

I started in 6th grade.
when i first started i used black mascara and black eyeliner.
But now im older. and i realized that i am a blonde and blondes shouldnt wear black eye liner cause it made me look like a hoe.
So i started trying new thinks. like light eye shadow and black mascara. But now i wear dark blue eye liner only on the top with black or brown mascara.
So it really depends on yur hair what color eyes you have. if yu wear the right color your eyes will Glow(:
Tell me what colors yur hair, and eyes
and i might be able to tell you what color.
Hope that helps[:

i started when i was in the 7th grade i was elleven years old at the time!!!

I'm in 6th grade right now and don't wear make-up. A lot of my friends wear it and I just don't see why. I try to ask them why. To me I love natural beauty, we don't need make-up to be gorgeous. One time my friend tried putting make-up on me and I ran away from her screaming. I'm not ready to grow up and put it on my face. Another friend once said that "I wasn't a girl"for not liking make-up

I was in Seventh grade when I started. I'm not proud of it however. Wearing Make-up, if you have no reason to, is silly. I should know. I started wearing it because i broke out and I didn't want anyone to see it. After that it got worse and became mandatory for me. But recently, my skin has been clear and fine, so I don't need it but I continue to wear it. I'm an extremely self conscious person, so it's natural for me to feel naked without said make-up even though I don't need it.

What I'm saying is, if you don't have anything to hide, then don't hide. Make-up will only make it worse for you, because you become dependent on it. Don't wear it if you dont need it.

I don't know about that, I've never really worn (or liked) make-up, exept for lip gloss in sixth grade.
