Answer 1

you need to tone it down a little .. your 13!!! you know when you get older you will have many many wrinkles and that is no LIE...!!! what you put on your face now will huant you when you get older .. you need to tone it down.. maybe just the mascara and  some lip gloss (color if you want)but lip gloss.. lipstick will make you get the frown line around your mouth later in years...your 13 why are you using foundation... that will mess your face up good... and eye shawdow will give you those crow feet next to your eyes!!!!! i say mascara ..lip gloss and if needed cause of a pimple or soemthing use just a little concealer .. but other then that your  goign to get old fast... your face anyways...  

Answer 2

it sounds like a lot but it has to be seen

Answer 3

not at all, but its nice looking like ur age cuz u will never be 14 again, and u will always wear make up for the rest of ur life, so why not enjoy ur age for now ..  

Answer 4

nope ! i wear the same amount as you and were around the same age :]

Answer 5

at 13 u shouldnt be wearing all that but i understand that at that age i wanted 2 feel older. id say skip the foundation if ur skin is good. but if u can pull it off go ahead just make sur not 2 cake everything on stay natural.

Answer 6

For your age I think that's too much.  

Answer 7

nope

Answer 8

yess you do.

im 14 too and i dont find the reason whyy ppl our age need to wear so muchh make-up

unless its like a parttyy or sumthiing

i dontt wearr anyy make-upp.

all i use is  lip gloss andd someee moisturizer (:

Answer 9

Well I wear

white base make up black eyeliner red lipstick and black pencil liner. Sometimes I top it off with a faux nose piercing that looks like a red ball on my nose.But then that is only when I am going to work at the circus. just kidding it isn't how many different things you use it is how tastefully you put it on and how much of each you use. Look at Mimi from the Drew Carey show. I think all she has on is base, powder, and eyeshadow but it is way to much.

Answer 10

Yeah. It sounds like you're wearing too much makeup. But you might be putting it on nicely so that it looks natural.

Post a picture.

And no offense, but the pink cream eyeshadow sounds like a bad idea. Pink around the eye usually makes someone look like they just got punched in the face.  

Answer 11

You would have to post a picture.

But I'll just say that you are painted up like a drag queen  

Answer 12

remember less is more.  and at your age thats especially true.  have you not heard or read about how young girls are percieved these days?   young ladies today have lost their selfworth, selfrespect.  dressing inappropriately, wearing makeup to appear older.  the last thing you want is to lump yourself in with girls who look like they're trying too hard.  if your parents think it's too much then it probably is.

Answer 13

no don't think thats too much makeup. same as my family they just want to see me as the same little sweet girl and don't want to see me grow up. maybe lose the foundation if you don't really need it.  

Answer 14

Yes, u do for a 14 year old

Answer 15

well.

I use quite a bit more makeup than you:

Primer

mineral powder foundation

loose setting powder

blush

concealer (sometimes)

lipgloss

highlighting shadow

generally anywhere between 3 and 10 shadow colours per look

white liner on water line

black mascara

liquid liner (sometimes)

other colours of eyeliner, usually at least 2 or 3.

However, the only part of my face that looks as though I've spent time applying makeup on is my eyes, and that's because I make my foundation look natural.

Maybe that's why your family and such say you wear too much!

I personally agree with you about makeup being an art and a wonderful form of personal and creative expression (hence why I went through a um. lets just say a horrible makeup period in my life where I wore too much eyeshadow LOL). I think it's amazing to be able to just kind of immerse yourself into your makeup, give off a certain impression, a certain creativity, and to be your own individual with makeup and not do the standard. Anyways, comparing your makeup routine to mine, I'd say you wear a very small amount of makeup, although posting a picture would help to show if this is true or not. If your foundation is liquid, that could be making yu look like it's too much makeup. You shouldn't do your makeup according to what your parents want. My parents could care less how I look! So just keep expressing yourself with your makeup, but keep the skin as natural looking as possible, and apply as little foundation as possible just to make it less made up and more glowy :)
