Is make-up bad for a 14 year old?

Question

Well when I asked my mom if I could wear make-up she said not until I was 16 years old! She says that it's not good for someone my age or younger to be wearing make-up. I don't have any acne or w/e so will make-up make me have bad skin?

Answer 1

Well, as long as you're not wearing any foundation, its okay. Even mineral foundations cause acne when you're older. Ask her if you can wear some natural mascara and maybe neutral shadows. Lip gloss is good too.

Answer 2

I don't think she meant that it was PHYSICALLY bad for you and your skin.  Unfortunately my 12 year old niece already wears makeup and she looks so much more grown up with it on and I definitely wouldn't let her wear it that young if I was her mother.  She probably just wants you to be a kid for as long as you can

Answer 3

no, but some can clog you pores

Answer 4

ive wore make-up since i was 11 years old.

if your mom is saying no,

just ask her if you can wear just a little

light stuff. nothing too drastic.

ovee a period of time, just keep adding

until you reach the look you want!

God bless you!

Answer 5

haha, go seek out and buy a foundation that matches your skin tone, i`ll doubt she`ll even notice :)

Answer 6

I've been wearing make-up since i was 12 years old. I have a naturally beautiful complexion i was just another kid who wanted to wear make-up. I don't have any acne and the you won't get bad acne if you use the right make up. I've never had acne.

Answer 7

She probably doesn't want you to wear make up so you won't look older than what you already are. I'm 14 and I wear make up even though my mom doesn't exactly approve. I'm not saying you should do the same. It's just like every once and a while some disgusting older guy would try to hit on me and etc. cause he'd think i was older. So that's probably a good reason why your mom doesn't want you to wear make up for reasons like that.

Answer 8

When you start wearing makeup, remember to wash your face every night. Never sleep with makeup on! Some heavier, oilier makeup can make you break out with acne.

Also, don't make the mistake that most of the girls your age make and wear too much. I promise that boys like the natural look much more!  

Answer 9

When your mom said it was "bad" for your to wear makeup, she didn't mean physically.  Make up doesn't cause any problems to your skin as long as you get the right kind of brands with good ingredients.  Your mom probably meant that she didn't like the way young girls looked with makeup and it was "bad" because it gave them a rep.  Don't worry, talk to your mom, prove your mature, and sooner or later you'll be wearing makeup. good luck!
