I started at 13, only wearing concealer for a little bit of coverage. Now I'm 14, I wear concealer, bb cream, a powder to set it mascara and a bit of lipgloss.

On special occasions I also wear a bit of light shimmery eyeshadow, thin line of eyeliner on the top, and a lip stain.

12 but only a little if I had a daughter and she was anything like me it would be cruel to keep her away from it but definetly not full face until high school.

I wasn't allowed to wear makeup at all except lip gloss until I was 17/18 unless I was in a show or special occasion. my sister had acne problems and wore foundation in hs to cover it but didn't seem to work. makeup on a child makes them look too grown. you're young only once so why rush to look like an adult? then once you get older you try to look young again lol.

I started at thirteen with just a shimmery skin tone shadow, mascara and gloss. I didn't start with eyeliner, foundation, and brighter colors until high school. When I first started I had it professionally done at the counter so I would know what to do and what was age appropriate.

Freshman yr is when you can start officially wearing makeup...

For concealer and powder, I'd say girls should start wearing it whenever it's first needed to help cover up acne.
For things like eyeliner, eyeshadow, lip gloss, etc., I think 16 is a good age to start.

I started early at about 13 but I never went all out just concealer because I had bad acne

My mom took me makeup shopping before I started ninth grade but I got so frustrated with it I didn't really wear anything but eyeliner until I was 18 lol but now I'm makeup obsessed.

I say around or close to your senior year. I see young girls all the time with loads of makeup on. Its not a good look, kinda sad.

I've been wearing makeup for about a year and I'm only 14. I stated out just with some mascara and foundation, but now I wear mascara, eyeshadow, foundation, eyeliner, and blush.
I don't find this to be too much makeup, and I don't think anyone else should think it's wrong for me to wear this much makeup.
