How old were you when you first started to wear make-up????

Question

I'm 14 and my mom wants me to start wearing make-up but my boyfriend doesn't want me to. Im not sure if I want to but if I end up wearing it I want it to look natural. Please help me... also if you have any tips on how to make it look natural please include that and how old you were when you first started to wear make-up. Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Around 13 is when I started. For my everyday look I usually coverup the bags under my eyes and anything else, then i apply eyeliner to my top and bottom waterline.  

Answer 2

If you don't want to wear make-up, then don't. If natural is the look your trying to achieve with make-up, then you don't need it. My sister was 14 when she started wearing make-up. By doing so, she was being looked at by men who were old enough to be her father. Keep your youthful good looks, make-up will only cause you acne anyway.

Answer 3

I am 17 and just started wearing make-up. I think 14 is a little young to wear make-up but if you really want to I would suggest maybe a little eyeliner and mascara and on special occasions maybe some lipstick. I have foundation and the whole works but I feel like it make me look older and I do not like wearing lipstick so I wear lip gloss, eyeliner, little eyeshadow and mascara sometimes. I think you should maybe start off with eyeshadow and a little eyeliner than as the years goes by work up to the other stuff.

Answer 4

I started to wear make up when I was 15. It's easy to make it look natural, just don't put on too much and spread the powder all over your face. You have to do your eyes according to the shape of them and if they are big or small or so so. I advise you to look in the magazines they usually have good advices, especially the 17 magazine. Well I hope I helped you a little.

Answer 5

i started wearing makeup at about 13 or 14. but even to this day i dont wear a full face of makeup. i just use eyeliner and eye shadow and sometimes lip gloss. i mostly use chapstick tho. in the winter when i get a pimple is the only time i use coverup. to look natural use an eyeliner close to the color of ur eye. i would suggest not using black eyeliner bc it stands out so much. use a dark brown or black/brown at the darkest. if u have bluw eyes use blue. green or hazel i would use a medium or lighter brown. the main thing in my opinion that makes ur makeup look unnatural is if theres too much. or if the colors arent right. if u do use foundation make sure its as close to ur neck color as possible bc u never never want to see the line around ur jaw.  but i would stick to just eye liner and some lip gloss for now. blush and all that c**p can wash u out and just enhance that u dont no how to use it at this point. take a couple classes or something and learn how to apply everything b4 u just put it all on ur face and u look like bozo- also a key rule is if u have defined, strong eye makeup use a softer lip stick or lip makeup. if ur lips are defined and pornounced use a softer eye make up. u never want to have both eyes and lips strong- bc that gives u the clown look

Answer 6

i am 14 now and i wear makeup. i started in 7th grade when i was 12. my look is very natural. i use mascara, a little liner under my eyes, some brown eyeshadow, mineral foundation(which looks super natural), and lip gloss. i would go with what you are most comfortable in. if you feel you are ready to wear makeup then go for it. if not wait a little longer. i love putting on makeup. you can have fun with it and try out different looks and brands

Answer 7

I'm 19 I first started to wear makeup when I was about 14. I actually was wearing it younger than that but only because I was in dance and would wear it to residuals. I wear my make up all natural and you can get some great non expesive stuff threw MaryKay plus its all mineral so you wont have to worry about cloging your pores. If you go to the site you can upload your pic and then put on different types of makeup to see how you look.

Answer 8

I was in like 5th grade so 10-11.  However, I didn't wear it to school, but I was allowed.  I  say for you, do it whenever you feel ready.  As a 14 year old girl myself I still don't wear it to school, except maybe an occasional eyeliner or mascara.  If you do decide to wear some to be natural try these: if you wear cover-up don't wear a lot, wear light pinks or clear glosses, and eyeliner.  I'd say don't where eyeshadow because sometimes it just doesn't look natural; if you do stick with colors that will look good with your hair.  Good-luck! :)  

Answer 9

so your mom was the one who wants you to put make up huh..hehe..i strted wearing make-up when i was in college..specifically, my senior years (20 yrs old)..i always wnated to wear one but whenever i tried i looked like a parrot..hahaha,,,then i dunno what happened,..we had this series of seminars before graduation and before i know it, i'm applying it all by myself..the way i like it..i also like it natural looking..i'm not a major make up user but i think the key to that is to match it with your skin tone..use a lipgloss that suits your lip shade then a touch of blush on then a light shade of chocolate mascara..some brown eyeliner if you want to..the key to a natural looking make-up is moderation..don't put too much...ok..but since your only 14 and always on the go..i suggest you should always carry around your lipgloss and a little blush on..ok..

Answer 10

Wear it whn you feel confident with it and not before :)

If your fella is happy it sounds like you are pretty enough without it!  Lucky you.  

I was about 12 when I wore it, but I did look like a dogs dinner at 1st I think :)  For a natural look you could choose a pale lip color and pop on some mascara, maybe a little concealer for any spots you might get.  You don't need full makeup if you don't want it.  That's usually all I wear unless I am going somwhere special.  

Good luck, don't feel pressured, and feeeel pretty :) x*x

Answer 11

I started around 14..

Now I'm almost 16 (4 months) I wear:

Foundation or powder

Mascara

Sometimes Brown eyeliner

Vaseline always

I like to look pretty natural, No eyeshadow, lipstick etc..

Answer 12

I didn't wear make up till I was 16 and i'm glad i didn't because my friends who did have awful skin! I think your best bet would be to get a tinted moisturizer it evens out your skin tone but it's not thick like foundation makeup.  Another option could be mineral make up it's a light mineral powder that actually improves your skin. I think you should just tell your mom your not comfortable wearing that stuff yet if it's not your style and props to your boyfriend for encouraging you to be make up free that's awesome!  

Answer 13

They have mineral makeup almost every brand of makeup has it now, just get it to match your skintone and you should be good. It's called mineral ware and you can get it anywhere like walmart, or rite aid. Wherever. That's all I would do though lovely, makeup is a bad habbit to start. haha

good luck[:

Answer 14

I was about your age, nothing drastic though, of course you want to make it look natural. It depends on your skin tone, I don't know what race you are, but I am white (fairly pale) and this is what I use: I have concealer (or coverup) which is pretty much the color of my skin I put on first to cover up pimples or blemishes, then I put bronzer on (not to dark so it's obvious though, but a little darker then my skin so it looks natural) and remember to apply this to your chin and neck so you don't look like you are wearing a mask. Then I put mascara on to make my eyes pop a little, then I use a light pink or nude color lip gloss, gives your lips a natural shine. and then when I have an event or party, I may use eye shadow (a color that either matches what I am wearing or natural colors like browns and beiges) also I would add black eyeliner to the bottom part of my eye, for a more dramatic look.

Hope that helps you lady! good luck! and your boy sounds like a keeper! =)

Answer 15

your mom wants you to start?

lol. i had to beg my mom.

im 13, and i wear just lip gloss. you really dont need more than that. at 14, my mom will let me wear eyeshadow. :) But its always better to look natural, because once you start wearing it, you cant live without it! Its your choice whether you want to wear it, your mom cant force makeup on you. Do what you please :)

Answer 16

Well im 14 and i started wearing makeup wen i was 12 but not a lot i wore a little gold eyeshadow some eyeliner and mascara....and sometimes lip gloss

I wear a lot more now i wear eyshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss, foundation, bronzer, blush, and concealer....

but anyway if you want a natural look you need a good foundation (i use maybeliine dream matte mousse) and after you put it on take a damp cosmetic sponge and blend from the inside out then use a little gold eyeshadow but dont go above your crease a little mascara some eyeliner(try dark brown first and see how that goes) put a little blush on ur apples and dont blend outward just a little circle but make sure it looks natural and a rosy lip gloss brings it all 2gether

oh and if you dont want to wera makeup then dont

tell your mother and bf that its your choice wether u do or not and they can state their opinion but in the end its still your desicion and it shouldnt affect either of your relationships

:) hope i helped

Answer 17

First of all, if you don't want to wear makeup yet than you shouldn't.  Do whatever makes you happy, don't do what people want you to do.  

           I was around 14 when I started wearing makeup but I only wore eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, and lip gloss.  I would suggest not wearing foundation until you are older.  The younger you wear foundation the more likely you are to have more acne and break outs.  You could try using the Almay (Intense-eye-color) eye shadow the kind that matches whatever eye color you have (helps make your eyes stand out.  You could also use the matching eyeliner and mascara they have for your eye color.  For lip gloss use a clear lip gloss, nude kind, or light colored lip glosses.

Below is the Almay website, shows the eye makeup a listed above.  You can choose your eye color and it shows you which would be best to buy.

Answer 18

I started wearing some brown eyeliner in about 8th grade on the bus and I would take it back off on the bus ride home so my mom wouldn't know :P But I didnt start wearing makeup a lot of the time (like 3 or 4 days a week ) until I was at least 21. If you don't want to wear makeup at 14 then don't, you have all the time in the world to wear makeup! Usually it's opposite where girls want to wear makeup and their mom doesn't want them to. Some women don't ever wear makeup and it's perfectly fine. I would say if you do start wearing it, just use a little mineral powder and brown eyeliner with maybe some translucent lip gloss. I would just tell her no though, my mom never tried to put makeup on me.  

Answer 19

i was like 11. i know kinda early but i only wore it sometimes. to make it look natural dont put a lot on and dont use dark colors. you can use a nice brown. and if you use brown mascara it makes ur eyelashes look more natural. black makes it dark and heavy.

Answer 20

um i think i started like in 5th grade. big mistake! i didnt know how to wear  it! you should have seen me, i looked like a clown! but now i know how to put it on perfectly. im 13 years old. for a natural look, wear a medium toffee brown eyeshadow along your top eyelash line, then a lighter shade above it. get a dark brown *cream* eyeliner.((do not get pencil!! dont get liquid yet either) just put the thinest line on your bottom eyelash line. kinda right were it touches you eye. then do just a little bit of black mascara, and your good to go! good luck girl! oh and ask your mom any questions if you dont understand mine haha. peace!

Answer 21

i started wearing makeup when i was 13. and boy did i love it!! your boyfriend doesnt want you wearing makeup because he thinks you will put a ton on and look like a clown. ( like some girls do) lol The trick is to do your makeup so you look beautiful and show your natural beauty. If you just wear some mascara ( apply to upper lashes only), clear lipgloss, and just a dash of blush you will look gorgeous and your boyfriend will probably love it! make sure you use the blush very sparingly.

have fun! using makeup can be a blast!

Answer 22

Only start 2 wear makeup when you want to andf eel comfortable to do so. I started to wear makeup when I was 15 to cover up bad skin. Now Im 17 and I try to keep it natural. You can spend the rest of your life wearing so apperciate not needing to. If you decide to clear lip gloss, a light slik of mascara and only concealer if you feel uncomfortable about something. Dont use foundation. Remember make up is to accenuate your natural beauty. In my opinion enbrace your youth!

Answer 23

hi.

I started when I was like 11 or something (but not serious makeup, just a littile kids lipstick and blush and stuff)

I'm 14 now and I wear eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, eyeliner...but not everyday, usually just when I'm going out to places.

Here's some natural-looking tips:

for lipstick- wear clear or the colour matching ur lips

for eye shadow- wear nothing too intense, go for peach, baige, light brown, burgendy, and skin-tone colours.

for blush- wear ones that match ur skin-tone but are still rosey coloured. when u apply it, rub it around/spread it out with ur hand in circular motions so it looks like natural rosey cheeks.

for eyeliner- U don't have to wear this at all, I just started wearing a little this year. pencil eyeliner is softer looking and doesn't show as much as liquid ones, so I suggest pencil. Just lightly go under your eyes with it and smooth it out after with ur fingers.

It should be ur chioce about makeup, so don't rush to using it.

Answer 24

you should wear makeup when you want to, not for other people. if you dont need it then dont wear it. at formal events you can wear makeup, but dont go crazy. that way it makes you look more mature and you're not going around all the time with it.

Answer 25

i started wearing eyeliner in 8th grade, with some lipgloss

i think i was 14.

now im turning 16, and i wear a little bit of everything. (:

no one should make you wear make-up.

its your decision.

if your boyfriend doesnt like you wearing make-up

tell him to

suck it up and shut up.

(jk)

but he shouldnt get mad at you if you wear make-up.

it doesnt change who you are.

Answer 26

I started when I was 14, but had no idea how to use it properly.

To look your most natural, try "Bare Minerals" foundations, and just a touch of mascara and a bit of lip gloss.  At 14, that's all you really need.

Answer 27

i was probably like 6 or 7 y/o when i would walk around with my little purse and my moms lipsticks lol. i started to wear lipstick more often when i was in high school [14 y/o]. eye make up and stuff like that is unnecessary. you could def try to use lip gloss or a light color lipstick [tan color or peach].

Answer 28

Um I wouldn't do it if you don't want to, and if your boyfriend doesn't want you to, because those are really the only two people you look good for right? But I guess if your mom forces you, you can use clear mascara which is the same as actual mascara but it shows no color. And you can use clear lip gloss, but it can't be too sticky Ex. Victoria's Secret gloss. That looks trashy and your boyfriend will not appreciate it when you kiss him. And you could always you just regular lip balm by Vaseline or just Vaseline because it looks shiny and fools people. I do it and people always ask what gloss I'm using :D. If you are fair skinned, try some peach and lighter colored eye shadows. Tan skinned, gold and light brown. Darker, nothing will really look natural on the eyes unless it's a little shimmer.

Hope I helped. And I think it's very nice that your boyfriend doesn't want you to wear make up. That means he thinks you're very naturally beautiful!

Answer 29

I was 13, but even then only for special occasions. I just was not into it. I really do not know why your mom would want you to wear it. Usually the girl wants to wear make-up and the mom says no.

If you don't want to and your boyfriend likes you without it, don't wear any. It is not very good for your skin anyway.

If you want to look natural wear tinted moisturizer, lip gloss and maybe a bit of mascara.

Answer 30

Im 18 and still dont wear make-up lol, now all my friends who wore it all have terrible skin, and im lucky :) I have nice skin now, I look natural and I like it that way, be yourself, dont listen to anyone but yourself, do you think you need it? Or do you want to stay healthy and natural? Its up to you. If you choose to, then go light, dont wear eyeliner, just mascara on only your top eyelashs, light foundation (but not the cheap stuff) and a nice clear lip gloss or balm. Thats about me when I go out to clubs lol, but you cant go wrong!

Goodluck! :)

Answer 31

Hello, I was 13.

Cover-upp- When you go to the store and look for cover-up, look for the closest color to your skin tone, and when you wear it apply it very

lightly.

Eyeliner- Browns fit a lot of peoples eyes for more of a natural color, I have blue eyes & I use brown eyeliner because it just leaves a highlight on your eye. Sometimes, there are some sections in my CVS where they have eyeshadows, and the blush & eyeliner you should use, to match the color of you're eyes.

Eyeshadow- Again, I use a light brown and just brush it lightly on my eyelid.

Blush- Use a light pink, or brown. It really depends on your skin tone.

If your pale, use light browns and light pinks.

I would go with a light pink or clear lipgloss.

And make sure before bed, you wash your face and get

all the make up off or its going to increase your risk

at acne.
