Started when I was 18, when I got into college. Because that's when my skin FINALLY decides to break out. Which sucks! So, need to conceal all those :D and started to fall in love with makeup, but never do I wear full face makeup on a daily basis just foundation and concealer.

I would wear makeup as a real little kid for dance recitals and learned how to do it on my own by the time I was probably 12. Then I discovered YouTube beauty gurus when I was 14. So somewhere around 14 or 15 I started doing makeup more and more.

I was 10. I got the drugstore makeup sets for the holidays. I would usually just wear eyeshadow to school. When I was 13 I'd sneak eyeliner to school and put it on ( I wasn't allowed to wear eyeliner)

i started using make up around 14 but i only wore it every now and then after school... i didn't start wearing make up properly until i was 16 but that was due to the fact that i started to get bad acne... which i still suffer with and i am now 23.

I started doing only eye make up at about 10 years old.. I feel really weird about this, was definitely too young, but I always thought make up was so cool!
I only did mascara and lots and LOTS of eyeliner on the waterline.. it always made my gray blue eyes stand out more. I didn't really start using eyeshadow until a few years later, and when I started, I played around with it, A LOT. I could wear blue eyeshadow, then black the next day, then pink. Usually it would be darker colours, since I was a wannabe goth at about 12 to 14 years old.

I regret wearing foundation at such a young age as now it's taking its toll.

I started at 13 with a bit of mascara then gradually added more like a bit of powder or eyeshadow. Now I wear foundation, mascara and a bit of liner

I started wearing eyeliner when I was 11 or 12 and I've been sporting a cat eye since I had practiced enough to get it down. I probably started wearing foundation and eyeshadows around 13. I wore eye makeup out in public every single day until I was about 18. Now I don't mind going out with a more natural face on occasion.

I started out with some cheap pencil eyeliner when I was 11, but I really started getting into dramatic colors and different techniques when I was about 13 or so.
