Why do you want to wear makeup? If you have good skin, you probably don't need much makeup. Maybe a little powder blush will perk up your face, but be careful about overdoing it! Black eyeliner and mascara make you look old, and I don't mean older. I mean like an old person. If your skin isn't great and you have a lot of pimples, a coverup will make you feel better and more confident. I don't think it's about a specific age. A younger girl might use a good coverup if she needs to. Certainly, high school girls often wear makeup, but I'd caution you to be careful about how much you wear. I'll bet that your parents would let you wear makeup if you let them decide on how much looks good on you. A little lighter-colored eye shadow and some powder blush to highlight your cheekbones would probably be approved. Young ladies usually have dark enough eyelashes without adding mascara, but by age 16 or so, parents do need to allow their children to begin making some of these decisions themselves so they can become healthy and responsible adults. If parents continue to make these decisions for too long without input from their children, the children do not grow up able to make good choices for themselves. Making mistakes is a part of learning, so it's best to make some minor mistakes while still under the parents' eyes. My daughter was allowed light shades of makeup starting in high school, but she has flawless skin, so after a few weeks of playing around, she noticed that the makeup caused her skin to break out. She stopped wearing it. Now she's a senior and she uses some light blush, some creamy eyeshadow and some mascara for special occasions, but she doesn't use much makeup on a daily basis even though she is allowed to choose for herself. Of course, if she wore too much, I'd tell her that it didn't look good, but she'd be allowed to decide whether to take it off or not. After all, next year, she'll be away from me entirely while she's in college and I need to let her feel confident in her ability to make good decisions for herself.

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) :)

Did country girls wear makeup?

No. In Asian homes and countryside, young girls and women are not allowed to use makeup or spend more time near the mirror. It is right because it prevents too much self consciousness regarding looks like the western girls. Till they start working and finish their studies they don't concentrate much on their apperance, after job they start wearing makeup.


When should you first wear makeup?

Makeup should be worn whenever you feel you need, or want, it. Makeup is to enhance your natural beauty (as said in the wonderful answer below mine) or to give you self confidence with your looks. It should not be used to showcase your maturity or popularity. Only wear makeup if you feel you need it, or want it. There are no rules as the person below seems to think, and no real age limit to particular types of makeup. If it is your child who wants makeup, I would monitor what they are wearing and, as long as both of you are comfortable, give them some space to experiment with their new, exciting look. If you are a child and you would like to start wearing makeup, I would speak to your parents about it. As long as they feel comfortable with it, that's fine. If they are not, try reasoning with them, but don't get into an argument about it. They could have some valid points about why people your age shouldn't be wearing makeup.Answer BThere is no specified age to start wearing makeup. You don't have to if you don't want to. It's really your own choice and decision if and when to start wearing makeup. However if you're younger, you don't want to wear too much makeup, and there is a time and place for different kinds of makeup. Here are some guidelines but you don't have to agree.Some girls are born loving makeup and want to start wearing it at a young age, around 6 years to 8. They really don't know how to use and wear makeup though. You should let them be little princesses though! All they should wear should be Chapstick or lip balm, to keep their lips moisturized. Remember that all people, no matter what age or skin type, should wear sunscreen with an SPF with at least 15 when exposed to long periods of direct sunlight.At ages 8-10, girls can start wearing lipgloss in addition to lip balm.At ages 10-12, girls can start wearing a touch of clear or brown mascara. Maybe just a little bit of eyeshadow.At ages 12-14, girls can wear more eyeshadow, darker mascara, and maybe a little light colored or brown eyeliner. The eyeshadow should be light, nude colors, and should not wear very bright colored eyeshadow or eyeliner. They can also start doing face makeup like concealer since this is around the time that girls first experience things like discolored skin and pimples.At ages 14-16, girls can wear more brighter makeup, including lipstick. Remember, though, not to wear very dark makeup to school, work, or anywhere during the day. This is a rule that applies to everyone! Very dark, smoky eyes and bright colored makeup should always be worn during things like onstage performances and night time, just because it's too dark for everyday wear and daytime.Ages 16 and up can wear as much and any kind of makeup they would like to, because they are old enough.However these are just the restrictions. There is no limit to how little you can wear. And you don't have to agree with them. It's always your own choice though and you should talk with your parents if you're unsure how much you want to wear. You don't even have to if you want to, makeup is purely your own choice if you want to enhance your natural beauty.
