Is it bad for teens to wear makeup?

Question

Okay,say a teenager in highschool wants to wear makeup. I think it's okay. They just shouldn't over do it. Like wear mascara, blush, lipgloss and maybe if they need concealer + what not.

But do you think it would be bad for a teen (say 10-12 grade) wore makeup and without it they looked like a different person. The makeup doesn't look bad or anything. Like how celebs look like different people without makeup (well some....like lets use Hilary Duff) Would you say not to wear as much makeup as she does or just go for it since they look really hot with it

And let me just say I like Hilary Duff a lot and think she is pretty with or without makeup.

Thank you all opinions are welcome :)

Answer 1

I don't think I need makeup, but sometimes most girls want to just enhance their features.

Everyone's pretty, you're only ugly if you see yourself that way.

Answer 2

yah

Answer 3

i think teens sometimes over do it

like, eyeliner (thinly applied), lip balm and small natural looking foundation is absolutely fine.

but i think its so stupid when you see girls going to school with mascara and eye shadow and everything.

i think girls who wear too much makeup need  to realize that they're beautiful without it regardless of what people say and we dont all need to look like they way celebritys do when they walk the red carpet:)

i also think when u overload on the makeup it gets into ur pores and causes your skin to break.

it also causes wrinkles earlier in life (which will mean more make-up to cover it, and then MORE wrinkles caused by the makeup)

natural = beautiful

xo.xo.xo

Answer 4

i prefer not ever to use makeup. my skin tone is just perfect and i never really got into using makeup. a 10-12 year old should definently not being messing up their faces with all that makeup. they will just mess up their pretty faces.  

Answer 5

Wear a mask, it's better

Answer 6

really bad!!!!! it makes you look more ugly in future because of the chemicals in the makeup.

Answer 7

Make up is not poison! Is ok to wear make up ;)

Answer 8

i think she shoodnt.. first of all , make-up clogs up ur pores so it causes pimples.. and then taht'd look bad (pimples)

Answer 9

make-up is something any one can wear it is a personal choice

Answer 10

chyeah

so long as teens dont overdo it

coz they look like FOOLS then

or if they have the wrong color foudation

theres this grl at my school whos pale but she either wears WHITE foundation or like medium

and its just gross

Answer 11

im 13, i wear eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss (usually sheer or tinted pink.) Im going to start wearing mineral powder makeup though when my school starts at the end of the month :D

I like to go crazy with my eyeliner sometimes, though. hehe

Answer 12

wearing makeup is fine. just as long as the person is going to look natural and not plastic

Answer 13

Just express yourself. Wear all the makeup you want!

Answer 14

I think teens should be able to express themselves however they feel, and if they feel they look better with makeup than it should be ok for them to apply.  I don't think young girls should being using makeup to try and look older or catch boys' attention but if they are using it for their own self-expression than it's ok.  

Answer 15

i think it's perfectly fine for anyone to wear makeup if they really want to. But there is a point where some people do go overboard, however if that's how someone wants to express themselves than it's their choice. I don't think it's bad at all for teens to wear makeup, though.  

Answer 16

i think that it should be their decision but i also think makeup is to enhance your features and even if u look like a diff person its how u look with makeup so i think u should be able to wear it if u want if u dnt its cool too  

Answer 17

theres girls like that in my school, they look totally different without make up, then theres some that wear make up and looked really pretty before they started wearing it, so i think you should only wear make up if you really want to and it makes you feel better

Answer 18

yeah

Answer 19

I think it is prefectly fine to wear makeup in high school. In high school they are trying to get ready for the real world. Let them wear what they wanna wear, not sluty looking clothes, but you know what i mean.

Makeup is perfectly fine.

Answer 20

i dont think its bad for some the some the teens it rases theyr confidence=]

Answer 21

well, everyone likes to be beautiful. So there is nothing wrong for teens to wear makeup.  

Answer 22

i started wearing foundation in 3rd grade. theres nothing wrong with wearing makeup as long as you dont look like a tramp or anything.

Answer 23

Honestly, recently I've came to the conclusion that it's better to just go with light makeup through your high school years. I mean once you start wearing heavy makeup at school and stuff, then one day when you don't feel like it, or can't, people kinda notice. You'll look kinda tired, and stuff. I mean maybe start increasing, but keep the heavy makeups for parties and stuff. :) that's just my opinion.
