I know there isn't an age limit to start wearing makeup but I just wondered what your opinions are?

I'd say a little mascara and eyeliner and some eye shadow as long as it looks natural

I'm 14 and I wear foundation and I fill in my brows. I sometimes put on eyeliner and mascara but rarely and if I do one coat of mascara and a thin line of eyeliner.

You could use a foundation depending on how comfortable you are with it and how much coverage you need, if you don't need coverage then I wouldn't wear foundation.

Maybe bb cream or concealer but I wouldn't use foundation too young cause it can cause damage to your skin if you wear too much constantly

But I also don't put a bunch of foundation, try to keep it looking natural.

I say not too much makeup mascara and lipgloss will do with a little bit of bb cream.

This question is asked all the time, so I'll just say this. At 14, I PERSONALLY wore eyeliner and mascara, and lipgloss. The amount of makeup a 14 year old wears, in my opinion, should be determined by what products she actually knows how to apply. If you're 14 and know how to apply flawless foundation, go for it. It isn't the place of anyone on here to tell you what you should or should not be wearing.

Aw Hannah, I like your view on it🙈

Thanks haha the women on here taught me to be openminded about it, because at first I was so adamant that no 14 year old should wear more makeup than I do now at 20. As of right now, I wear eyeliner and eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick. Sometimes I'll wear blush or falsies. But that's it. So it took a while for me to understand that makeup is for the wearer, not the people observing. If you feel comfortable in red lipstick at 14, wear it, you know? As long as it makes you MORE confident in yourself, it doesn't matter what others think. Which is part of the reason why I don't like these questions, because people (my past self included) are very harsh about this topic. The one thing I will say, though, is make sure that you can take criticism. You need to be able to accept people's opinions and think that maybe you should change something, as opposed to thinking you're right all the time. Does that make sense?

I'm 14 and I personally wear foundation because I have acne. If I didn't, I wouldn't wear it.

I wouldn't wear foundation. It will wreck your skin. At your age I never wore makeup. But if you want to I would just do some eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow. Make it look natural

I'm 14, and I wear mascara and eyeliner! But do what works for you. The amount of makeup someone should wear is an opinion!

Ok so I'm 14 as well. Personally I just try to make a natural look. So what I use is concealer, pressed powder, gel pot eyeliner, mascara, brow pencil and lipstick. I'll try to avoid foundation as much as possible because personally I don't like having it on my skin so I focus a lot more on skincare so I won't feel the need to wear it. Also I don't wear eyeshadow because I cbf :p so really I'll just summarise it and say just go for a natural look. I usually go out
of the house with some pressed powder and lipstick. I know I'm saying a lot but last thing I swear, I also don't wear eyeshadow because I'm a fan of bold lip colours so yea. Hope this helps somehow xx

I would say do not wear any sort of foundation-enjoy NOT having to wear it while you can. I'd say some mascara, maybe some eyeshadow on special occasions :)

I think you should wear what you want. Most days for my face I wear concealer and powder and sometimes blush. I'm a big eye makeup person so that is what is most dramatic on my face, I'm 14 I get picked on a lot for it but I'm not wearing it for somebody else I'm not wearing it because I'm not confident. I wear it because it is something that I look forward to in the morning.I also have my lazy days where I don't wear anything. Just be you!!

You can wear as much as you want but I would say to keep it light, a bb cream or tinted moisturerizer, powder, blush, mascara, and If you want eyeliner :) ☺️

I agree with Lacey. It all depends on how much makeup you feel comfortable with it. I love doing a full face of makeup and of course I get picked on it. I'm 14 too btw. But I also love keeping it natural for everyday. I would say for everyday I wear foundation powder blush/bronzer gloss masacra eyeshadow brow gel.

I'm 14 and usually wear concealer and a powder foundation, blush, eyebrow pencil, mascara, sometimes eyeliner, mascara and either lipstick/gloss and on certain occasions eye shadow, bronzer etc.

I started wearing foundation when I was 14 and it was a big mistake. I began feeling like I needed it when I didn't. if you want some sort of coverage, just think about it first before you start. and if you feel like you absolutely need something, start with just a powder or a bb cream or tinted moisturizer.
it's fine if you wear mascara, blush, lipgloss, and eyeliner(liquid and/or pencil)
