Best Answer

Makeup got really popular during World War II. Women who worked in factories making war materiel decided to become "their own women" and shake the taboos of pre-war America. Before the war started, only prostitutes and "flappers" (look it up, it would take too long to explain here) cropped their hair or wore makeup; "good girls" wore nothing on their faces and kept their hair long. During the war, they realized they could do whatever pleased them.

What is a good age to start makeup?

I think girls should start wearing makeup whenever they feel like it (not feel pressured to wear it just because other girls their age are wearing it). But I think that a good age to start wearing makeup (apart from special occasions e.g. wedding, etc) is about 11. I started wearing makeup (just mascara and eyeliner) when I was about 11, and when I was 13 I started wearing proper makeup (foundation, lipstick, etc) :)

I assume you mean age? I would not start wearing makeup before middle school. I think you can start around 7th or 8th grade. If you are lucky enough to have good confidence post pone wearing makeup until later. Do whatever you feel comfortable with, as long as your parents don't mind.


Is wearing makeup bad?

Wearing makeup is a personal choice and it is not inherently bad.
