What do you think is a good age to start wearing makeup? And how much? I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard (plus I'm inexperienced...) thanxxx

I started around twelve 😁 but as long as you make it tastefully and you like to do it I realy don't think it matters a s long as your not like under 11 that's pretty young but a one year difference like twelve or thirteen to me doesn't seem like it matters and everyone matures differently

I just started this year (8 grade) and mainly only wear mascara, concelor & foundation (need to set it) and maybe a tinted lipgloss. Sometimes a nude eyeshadow. I think whenever you know you have the time and know how on how to do it right. A d whenever you need to start coveringup blemishes or feel uncomfortable about them.

12-13 for foundation /bb cream and mascara. If you are younger I think if you have acne, by all means use concealer!

I started wearing makeup at 12, but only lipbalm and mascara, with the occasional lipgloss. At 13 I started experimenting with eyeshadow and eyeliner, and at 14 I started wearing powder and liquid foundation. Now I wearing powder foundation, mascara, an eyeshadow stick I use as eyeliner, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lipstick.

I'm 13 and I wear concealer, eyeshadow, mascara, and tinted lip balm! And I think it's good because its natural and not too much! But I think you should start wearing it at 12 if you want(:

When I was in year 7 I just wore lip balm or gloss, most girls wore mascara to, but there were a few that wore a FULL face and didn't look good. This year I plan to wear a sheer eyeshadow (not very shimmery and similar colour to my skin) too, maybe some clear mascara.
