When Did You Start Wearing Makeup?

[Caroliiine]

I started experimenting with eyeliner and eyeshadow when I was in ninth grade - that's about 14, I guess?

I'm 17 now and I wear eyeliner, eyeshadow, and mascara to school (lipgloss too, but I don't count that). I think wearing foundation and blush is too much for high school. You don't need too much when you're still young and it just looks like you're trying too hard. Some girls wear so much makeup that their skin looks flawless but everyone call tell you've put on like a pound of makeup.

I only wear foundation when I'm going out for a special event. I do wear concealer sometimes but that's it. Have fun when you're young. You'll need to wear the heavy makeup when you're older, but not now.

I think I wore make-up for the first time .. when I was (let me guess) around 12-13 years old.

I'm fifteen and I usually wear : concealer here and there, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow (sometimes) and lip balm (gloss sometimes). Maybe a bit of blusher on the odd day.. but I try and not to wear too much. There's a girl in my year who must have been wearing literally the whole package (i'm talking concealer, foundation, powder, highlighter, blusher, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, lipgloss and the rest!...) since she was about twelve. It's too much, and even if she has bad skin (which she has underneath all the layers), at her age, she should give it some air and let it heal.

I started when I was 12. I used to argue with my mom all the time b/c she thought I wore too much eyeliner... looking back, she was probably right

Mascara and really light blush when I look tired from schoolwork.

15...much later than most girls, huh?

 

[kiss&tell]

Around 12-13 but I was never really one to wear alot of makeup. Just mascara and lipgloss with a little tint of blush but on the rare occasion maybe eyeliner and eyeshadow, that's usually for parties.

I started wearing clear mascara and clear nail polish in my 2nd year of senior high school(about 16 yrs old). one year later i bought my first compressed powder. But either clear mascara or powder are basic makeup stuffs. to wear eyeshadow is in my first year in university

[purplkaret]

[glamourous bitch]

I'm almost 20 and i still don't wear it. I would, however, like to learn how to wear eyeshadow and liner because I find alluring eyes so sensual.

hee, me too. but i did wear make-up during some special occasions. i do know a bit about how to make up. but just feel sort of troublesome to do it everyday. hee, lazy i guess. but i guess i will try to get use to it soon.

I'm 21 and still not wearing makeup. Not that I don't like it but my mum was terribly strict about all that kinda stuff, and now, even if I think I'm allowed to, I never take time to put on some make up in the morning or even to go out with friends in the evening...

But now we're in summer so I make a little effort and apply some blusher on my cheeks, and lipgloss when I'm motivated lol

That's all folks!

I'm 16, and I don't wear makeup on a regular basis. After entering high school, I started to wear makeup for semiformal/formal dances and for special events I might wear foundation and a little eyeliner and lip gloss. Other than that, it would be stage makeup for theater productions and the like

I guess it's partly that my parents are somewhat strict, partly that I'm too lazy, and partly that it would make me late for school every day...

Well I wasn't allowed to wear make up until I was around 13. Then it was only foundation (hooray for zits) and light lipsticks.
That didn't stop me from playing with it when I was little though. I remember making these ungodly Cleopatra-esque designs with my mom's eyeshadow.

I started using a little bit when I was 12, mascara and powder.

I was about 15 and it was for a school photo. Bad choice as I ended up with an orange face and wonky lipstick.
