I think 7th grade, everyone started to wear a little, lip gloss, a swipe of eyeshadow here and there, fumbling with an eyelash curler was still a bit scary though. But I really got into it this year, now I'm 15, I've improved my technique a lot, and really started to experiment with colors.

I started wearing makeup in 8th grade, making me either 12 or 13? I started out by mainly using bottom eyeliner (which i had no idea what i was doing, so it looked extremely harsh) and mascara. As I got older I slowly but surely learned how to use make up to my benefit instead of just slapping it on my face.

I started with mascara and eyeliner at like, 15. Then I got bored cause I didn't know how to use it. I tried again at 17 and it's only been up from there :)

I began when i was 15 with just eyeliner and and lipgloss as i didnt like lipstick. Then i progressed into eye shadow and just stuck to that til now at 26 where i find myself more interested in everything else (foundation concealer primers etc) so im still a beginner as far as that and really tryin to teach myself as i cannot attend school for it..

I was in middle school when I started using eyeliner. I didn't start wearing foundation until I was 16. Full makeup started when I was about 18.

i wore lip gloss here and there since i was 5. But I wasnt allowed to wear makeup until my first day of High school. So I was 14 and I wore a Cover Girl Powder Foundation (it helped covered the red in my face. I had no acne.), Wet n wild Mascara and Lip gloss, and I wore eye shadow from a quad I got from a dutch market. The colors were purple, green, blue, and pink. I also wore a lip smackers liquid gloss that was watermelon flavored. I dont think they make it anymore. I dont even know what age I was when I started wearing eyeliner.. It was after high school. :p

I started wearing eyeliner and mascara when I was ten and that was because that's when I went through puberty and became a grownup, so to me I thought "Why not?" But I only very recently started wearing full-faced makeup at sixteen and seventeen. (I'm eighteen now.)

I started wearing makeup at 5, because I performed in school a lot. But wearing makeup on a regular basis, around 15. And I was only allowed to shape my brows at 16 and owned my personal makeup collection at 18.

13 was just some liner, mascara, concealer where needed and blush. 14 was when MAC and Urban Decay became my favorites; I also would consider what I used then a full face of makeup
