Face Problamo?

Question

Well, I'm 12 and none of my friends wear makeup. They probably don't even know what foundation is. I look TERRIBLE without concealer under my eyes. And my friends have never heard of it before. Why is it that every single day my friends don't even have to look in the mirror and go out looking perfect? And I'm stuck with the crappiest face ever? And when they see my real face they ask what happened to me? Why do they look so flawless without anything? And don't tell me that I'm over exaggerating because i really don't look well. I mean I'm only frickin' 12 years old and I NEED it, don't want it but truly NEED it. So why is that??

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with your face,

or your Spanish. <}:-})

Answer 2

well some girls don't like wearing make-up and that's normal some do like you. and if they wear it everyday and one day you don't you'll look weird its all normal.

Answer 3

Well, thats just the way God made you.  And if you don't believe that, then just the way life works.  You were given your face for a reason...and you are not the only person unsatisfied with your face.  You may be the only person in your group of friends with a problem but you are most def. not the only person in the world with a problem.  Just get over it...theres nothing you can do...

Answer 4

You probably don't want to hear this, but you are WAY too young to be wearing any type of makeup. I wanted to wear makeup when I was your age, but you'll look like a w***e, and you won't be respected. You do not need it, and if you have a responsible parent your mother will not let you wear it. Sorry, but you are just too young.

Answer 5

I wouldn't worry about how old you are, because a lot of people start wearing make-up just for the sake of it, and they don't even need it. The best thing to do, would be to apply it as naturally as you can, and then if anyone asks, don't tell them you wear make-up.

Answer 6

get some eye cream or something that will get rid of dark circles or baggy eyes

Answer 7

It's called puberty! Some girls get it bad others don't. But don't get discouraged bc maybe this is the time you look your worst and in a few years you will prob outshine your friends! I know allot of ppl that this has happened to and it's actually better that you go through it so young bc when you are older you will prob have that flawless skin you urge for while your friends are just begining to go through that awkward stage!! So just relax and make sure you drink plenty of water, eat fruits, take Vitamin B6 and take multivitamins. Also, make sure you buy a moisturizer for your face with spf30 to wear everday after you shower then you can apply your makeup. However, try not to wear too much makeup bc you are still very young, it might make your skin worse. Concealer is just fine for you.

Don't worry, follow my advice and you will be fine!!

Answer 8

You don't need it, no 12 year old needs make up.  You think you need it because you don't like your appearance.  Your friends probably don't wear it because they are comfortable with how they look...and you should be too.  Maybe you should see a psychiatrist, it sounds like you have some issues with self esteem.

Answer 9

When a man and a woman really love each other..........

Answer 10

yeah, it happens. you should be grateful you don't have the acne problems other teens have.

Some eyes are just deeper set. Could be from lack of sleep, maybe you need a tan on your face, or something like that.

Everyone hates something about themselves, and it's really no big deal to others.

I'm sure they are just used to seeing you look perfect with the concealer, and you are used to seeing them with none. I bet if they started wearing it everyday and stopped people would ask them also what happened.

Answer 11

some girls have better skin but if thats ytou in the icon pic which it probably is you have really pretty eyes and you look really pretty. i know this kind of sounds weird but like i saw the icon and i was like shes pretty before i even looked at the question. i mean i dont really need foundation but i think i look bette with it

Answer 12

hmmm ! I remember being 12 I had chicken pox really bad and my best friend was in the 8th grade who introduced me to concealer. that evil stuff seriosly it like the movie mask. it take over us and gurl it is so not worth it. everybody is beautiful in their own way and I know you may not understand but when you do you will understand in the end it doesnt matter what they think b/c really who are they? maybe the next president but wow you know you are 12 live a little and dont always hide behind that stuff. My sister doesnt go no where without makeup. she misses so much for the time she cant go somewhere without putting it on. i on the other hand dont care anymore and yeah it may sound stupid but i am more active and can finaly go swimming withour worring if my eyeliner is smudged. :) what i am trying to say is love yourself! why you have circles under your eyes may be stress or iron level. i have them too and i am 22 but it b/c i am white/native american and my skin when i tan just cant tan in those areas the same way. It is something in alive complect skin and if you have low iron that can do it too.  my scars turn purple blah blah. we all have problems you know so take care lil angel and I hope the best for you and your problem.  

Answer 13

the reason you think you need it, or your friends say you look different without it, is because everyone is used to seeing you with it on.

if someone who always wore makeup stopped wearing makeup, people would react differently even if they are still pretty without makeup just cause thats how they are used to seeing them.

anyways your 12 so dont worry so much about looks! plus, i'm sure your friends also have a lot of flaws...you guys are still young and growing.

Answer 14

well, u might wanna give us a pic of ur face or something, i do not believe that anyone NEEDS makeup, im 13, i still dont wear makeup, i dont focuz on how i look. why should u look perfect if ur not looking for guys? and trust me, that doesnt start until at least high school. or, it shouldnt anyway. it is ridiculous how early ppl start dating these days.  

Answer 15

since you put concealer under your eyes maybe you need more sleep

wash your face more often

if you have oily skin dont put too much makeup you can mix oat meal and hot water and use for a facial scrub

put on more lotion if you have dry skin you can mix bananas  and olive oil for that

btw im the same age as you

Answer 16

ugh. i know how you feel. but me. i use it on my nose. and i use eyeliner. most my friends use makeup... but most my friends are 13. lol. well your friends are just blessed with perfect skin. ugh. dont you wish we all were (:

Answer 17

well everyone has different complexion,

and you probably care more about your appearence

and thats not a bad thing- to want to be presentable,

blemishes show up on paler skin, so they probably have darker skin tents.

and makeup doesnt cover up your face- it highlights the beatufiul feautures that you have, so i woulndt worry about it  kiddo

youre probably further ahead in pubety then they are.

just be suer you take good care of your skin now so you dont have acne when youre older-

wash your face and wear facial cream.

=]

Answer 18

Answer 19

Ahhh, taste the teenage angst :P

Answer 20

Answer 21

genes, trust me i was the same at 12, and now im looking better, it will just take time

Answer 22

no one had ever said anything to you bout it so don't worry God know every girl is beautiful in EVERY way

Answer 23

everybody has flaws even a model does and you dont need it your pretty ok

Answer 24

Child you have to accept yourself for whom you are. I`m 34 and still battle acne. But I`ve got a super positive attitude and that takes my attention away from my skin problems.  

Answer 25

You're being way, way too hard on yourself. I know this sounds hokey, but you've gotta accept who you are. There's nothing wrong with a little make-up to help add to your beauty, but that doesn't mean you should become so attached to it that you feel like you're hideous without it. Your only problem is your low self-esteem. You need to be happy with what you've got. Go into the mirror, and instead of seeing all things you don't like, look at all the things you do. Also, don't always compare yourself to people who YOU think look better than you. I know this might sound mean, but try comparing yourself who has a situation that's a lot worse than yours. Than it will help you feel proud of yourself.

Answer 26

wow 12 years old?

im 15, and while i dont have a perfect face, far from it actually, i dont even wear fondation or concealer.

truth is, you probably judge yourself harshly, by looking in a mirror a little too closely and finding flaws. i mean think about it, how often is someone staring at your face sitting inches in front of it? barley ever! everyone ALWAYS  sees things about themsleves that others dont even notice. like pimples, a big nose, bad skin. i swear to you, no one even notices!

my advice? dont wear all the make up, 12 is pretty young for all that. if you really think you need it, only wear a bit, let your real beauty shine through.

hope i helped! :D

but seriously dont worry about it, im sure your friends doubt themselves too.
