Should i wear make up?

Question

im 14 and about to go to highschool... should i wear makup? and like what kind? and for what? (ex: mascara only?, mascara and eyeliner?, foundation? ) help!?

Answer 1

Personally as an older person, i think you should lay off the make up. its fun but pore clogging. can make you pretty but also make you age before you want it to. i usually wear just a little eyeliner and thats it. excessive make up is unneccesaary unless u have a special event. not to mention that when you do wear make up it should make you look really nice. if you have bad skin(acne) definitely stay AWAY from foundation. it can provoke it. moderate concealer is alright but i believe in letting blemmishes heal on their own time.

Answer 2

im also fourteen and about to go to highschool.

i wear mac makeup. its not really expensive,but

its a good quality. i buy it from macys and the

ladies there help show what colors look good,

and you can ask what people your age are wearing.

i wear mascara eyeliner eye shadow and a powder

moisturizer.

Answer 3

This might sound like a bit of a "Mother Answer", but id say keep it to a minimum. i am 14 but im in New Zealand so ive already started highschool. at my school you arent allowed ANY make up and if you get a really **** teacher they make you wash it all off with hand soap and stuff (Sore as!) bt if you want to look pretty and not ott, i would suggest you do what i do and just wear eyeliner OR mascara, and lipgloss because eveything else is really obvious. Foundation is bad........ i hate it. but if you can pull it off i would say only wear it outside of school.

Hope this Helped! =)

Answer 7

You are so lucky to be young and starting out experimenting with makeup. You are probably beautiful anyway and do not need any make up yet. But it is such fun to play with different looks. I say enjoy your youth and wear make up if it makes you feel lovely, but remember less is best.

Answer 8

That's really up to you and your parents. Makeup can give you a lot of confidence, but it can also look tacky. I suggest starting off simple. Maybe just some foundation to cover up imperfections and mascara to bring out your eyes. When you get comfortable with that, you can start playing around with colors. If you've never worn makeup though, I suggest looking around to see what everyone else is doing before you slap bright green eyeliner on your eyes or dark red lipstick on your lips. Also, for those who think that foundation will always clog your pores--it won't. As long as you don't choose something thick and cakey and you wash it off every night, your skin will be just fine. The runnier the foundation, the better it is for your skin--especially the 'whipped' foundation.

Answer 9

If you really want to.

Maybe Eyeliner, a color that makes your eyes pop.

Mascara fer the same reason.

Foundation and stuff only if you have gross skin.

Lip gloss...blush.

Hope I helped. [:

Answer 10

Same here. I'm 14 and start High School in September. To apply makeup you must have alot of patience. It takes months, or for some, years to perfect. I use sheer foundation, but that's because my skin tone in very uneven, you should only wear it if you think yours is too.

I use stuble eyeliner and sometimes use mascara, but that's because my lashes are kinda long-ish, if yours are short, you should use it in a natural colour.

Don't use lipstick; that's what older adults wear, use tinted gloss. Eyeshadow; bad idea if it's not a natural colour. Blush can look fake. That's about it.

But wait a couple of days after school starts to go makeup shopping, too see what makeup tips are in style. Keep lots of makeup on the down-low for school, and glam your look up at night for parties and movies with your friends.

But no matter what, wash the makeup off at night. Not washing it off can ruin your skin.

Hope I helped. I know how nervous you are, I'm freaking out too.

Answer 11

sure - just be tasteful...

Answer 12

im goin into high school too!! i usually just wear liner and mascara :)

dont go too much

Answer 13

ya you should...

Answer 14

im 13 i wear,

eyeliner , mascara, foundation . they are good .

Answer 15

it depends what you look like. makeup looks bad on some people  

Answer 16

just a little would be fine. you don't have to cake it on. makeup just gives a more polished look... like you aren't lazy. light eyeliner and a few swipes of mascara... maybe a little blush on the apples of your cheeks. even a light color eyeshadow would look nice. definitely do lip gloss (not lip stick) if you don't do anything else.  

Answer 17

When i first started going to highschool i wore foundation bronzer eyeliner mascara, and sometimes i would play around with different eyeshadows.

In junior high i only wore eyeliner.

hope that helped. :D

Answer 18

if you start wearing alot of make up you might get pimples try eyeliner first and a little lip gloss  

Answer 19

yes. and everything. just dont go overboard/.

Answer 20

keep it natural and beautiful

try a light layer of foundation

maybe a thin swipe of eye liner

and some neutral eyeshadows

with a peachy blush?

top it off with mascara

Answer 21

Just wear mascara right now,,

since youre still 14 it would kinda look weird

if you have that young face with eyeliner on it.

Answer 22

Use mascara, lipgloss, and if you want use just a little bit of eyeliner. Stay away from the foundation unless you really need it bcuz it can look fake && clog your pores.

Answer 23

Speaking from this side of 56, were I able to do it all over again, I would first start with a cleansing and moisturizing regimen.  Even teenager's skin which sometimes is oily needs moisturizing.  There are plenty of really good non-oily moisturizers out there. It might be a little expensive for your allowance, but if you start a regimen with Clinique, you cannot go wrong!  Use plenty of sunscreen (that which is non-comedigenic--that is designed for the face).  For make-up I would use mascara and tinted lip gloss during the day.  For night time I would go a little more dramatic with perhaps some shiny eye make-up and perhaps a tint of blush.  ALWAYS ALWAYS be sure to clean off the make-up BEFORE you go to bed. The problem with using make up too early is that if one is not consistent in cleansing your face, foundation especially can enlarge pores over time.  Use soap designed specifically for the face as regular bar soap can be too harsh and irritating.  Congratulations on being 14 and enjoy yourself in high school. Know that youth comes with its own beauty!!!!!!!!!!  

Answer 24

you're old enough. don't wear any foundation i'm sure your skin is okay and even if it isn't still DON'T wear any foundation. Just eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow(=

Answer 25

foundation isnt healthy that young you will have bad skin when your older.. im 13 my mom told me that.

id say wear mascara, light eyeshadow and a little eyeliner on the top lid (:
