Answer 10

16, before then your skin is too young to suffocate it with makeup

Answer 11

I think anyone younger than 13 should not even be thinking about makeup. Honestly, i don't think it's good for young girls to wear makeup (only because they're already naturally pretty and it could ruin your skin), but if you're gonna wear it , honey, just try to use mineral makeup, know what you're doing, and use really good all natural cleansers and moisturizers to keep your skin healthy and fresh under your makeup. :)  

Answer 12

If your mom says no well then no.

she might not want you to have it because she thinks you will put A LOT on. If you ask her if you could maybe use lip gloss and some eye shadow

instead of loading it on your face she might let you.

Answer 13

12-13, but the make-up shouldn't look fake or caked on.

Answer 14

I started wearing LIGHT makeup when i was your age, so now is a good time but just remember to not cake it on or wear a buttload! haha Start out w/ maybe just concealer for random pimples here and there, or a sheer foundation if you want a little bit more coverage. And wear a light brown or grey mascara instead of black, so it looks more natural. Maybe even hold off on the eyeliner and eyeshadow until high school. And don't load on the blush!! This look is perfect because it will make you feel better about yourself, and your mom will either barely notice since you look so natural, or maybe even like it! Hope this helps! =]

Answer 15

I started out with just a little eyeliner on the bottom and a little mascara when I was going into 8th grade. Then when I got into highschool I added some eyeshaddow and stuff. Try asking your mom is you start with just a little and work your way up to using more. :D

Answer 16

I think when you're 13 you can start wearing mascara/lip gloss, then 14-__ you can do whatever.

Answer 17

i wore make up in 8th grade, but like mascara, a little eye liner, and if i have a brake put some light powder. but anything like tinted lip gloss, eyer shadow or blush is un needed.  

Answer 18

My mom is VERY strict about that sort of thing and I was allowed to start wearing make-up about half - way through seventh grade as long as I bought the make up myself and didn't make a mess of the bathroom when putting it on .

I look better with it on too         :P

Answer 19

I started going into 8th grade with just a little bit of brown eyeliner only on the bottom and i progressed to shadow, liner, mascara, and blush(only sometimes)

Answer 20

Girls shouldn't start wearing makeup until they are 14/15 years old.  I'm 16 about to turn 17 and I just started wearing makeup.

Answer 21

well i'm goin to grade 7 and last year my friends always had makeup on.so i guess around 12/13

Answer 22

i started wearing make-up when i'm in the 5th grade... well it does'nt matter. as long as you feel good wearing it.. it's the time

Answer 23

first when i was 11 i would wear eye liner and mascara and in party's sometimes eye Shadow now i wear more like foundation eye liner mascara stuff like that

Answer 24

Personally i think it's the girl's choice when she would like to start wearing makup. If your friends at school are wearing it and everything then try wearing a little. grade 8 isnt too early. I started when i was 15 at the end of grade 9.

But when you first start, only wear a little bit. Maybe just some mascara at first. If you go to school with full cat eyeliner right away, people will think you look really weird because they arent used to it.

And make sure you know what colours you need before you start. If you're fair skinned and fair haired then use brown mascara. It wont be any lighter but it will be more brown than black which will look better with your skin tone.

Answer 25

Certainly not as young as they are nowadays. I think Freshman year is okay. Some days, these girls just look dumb with their face caked with make-up. What most girls dont know is that guys like natural faces, not lyyyiinngg. Dont wear make-up in 8th grade. Thats too young. And sleazy.

Answer 26

it doesnt matter, the later the better. as long as you keep your skin clean, youll look good. makup is bad for your skin anyway.

Answer 27

You should start using makeup on high school. But if you look ok without makeup you shouldn't worry about it. When you do start using it try to use something natural so it can make you look pretty and not too old.
