LoveNJstyle answered Monday March 27 2006, 11:35 pm: I started around 12 at a school where you weren't allowed to wear any haha. the only thing i promise will ruin your complexion is foundation/powder...the all over stuff. i used to break out a ton from that. now i don't wear it on a usual basis and my face is clear. i'd say play up your eyes and lips at 12-13 is a good idea.. no more than mascara, shadow and lipgloss and maybe eyeliner. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]

mysticpixie05 answered Monday March 27 2006, 10:43 pm: Around the age of 13-15. And wearing make up doesnt cause you to age more. It cause acne and flawful skin though if you don't wash it off every night before bed. The proper ways to wash it off are using make-up remover solution. Followed by a good cleanse with soap and water or a good face wash. Be sure to ALWAYS remove all your make up to help keep your skin and face lookin healthy and beautiful. =-) [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]
TheHeadHonchoPoncho57 answered Monday March 27 2006, 9:16 pm: I think you should be at least 12 to actually start using real make up. But if you look older than you actually are, I think it's fine to go a little younger. I know a girl who's 11 and looks 13...she wears eyeliner all the time and she went from being a very plain-looking girl to beautiful! I think that you can be as young as 10 or 11 to wear lip gloss (NOT colored). By the time you're 13, you can wear eyeliner and mascara on a usual day. As you get older, you can start wearing foundation, lipstick and lip liner (at least 16 for lipstick), but remember that with makeup, less is more. The more makeup you put on, the more you are at risk of looking like a clown. [ TheHeadHonchoPoncho57's advice column | Ask TheHeadHonchoPoncho57 A Question ]
Erinn_the_bamf answered Monday March 27 2006, 9:07 pm: I started with make-up at twelve with just mascara and lip gloss. So I'd say around 7th grade you can start wearing make-up. Make-up won't ruin your face unless you don't take it off. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
ForfeitYourDream answered Monday March 27 2006, 9:03 pm: Your face won't technically get"ruined" by make-up, but if you don't take it off at night, it can clog your pores and make you break out.
Sherry answered Monday March 27 2006, 7:58 pm: As soon you go into highschool, most girls start wearing makeup. Start out light for the first year, with only concealer, blush, eyeliner. Little stuff like that, but as you get into your 2nd/3rd year in high school..why not go all out with everything? So 13+ would be good to start wearing makeup...hope I helped =) [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]
spoiledx3 answered Monday March 27 2006, 7:49 pm: I personelly think it all depends on what you look like. I think if your naturally pretty you don't need to wear makeup for a while but if you feel insecure about your looks which most teenagers do i think thirteen is about the age. and if you do choose to wear makeup don't over do it. . sorry if i didnt help [ spoiledx3's advice column | Ask spoiledx3 A Question ]
NinjaNeer answered Monday March 27 2006, 7:27 pm: Well, I would say that you can start wearing makeup at 13+... but don't EVER wear too much, no matter how old you are. I never go more than mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss, and that's when I'm going out... and I'm 18.
As for aging, I honestly think it does age your face... I see a lot of women who look much older than they are, and they've worn heavy makeup for their whole lives... and then I see my mom, who is almost 40 and she looks like she's 30, and she NEVER wears makeup.
jesa21 answered Monday March 27 2006, 7:25 pm: i think i started messing with make up when i was 12, but it was just for fun then, and of course we caked it on like clowns, but i figure when you want to and your parents are ok with it, go to an older sister, your mom, aunt, any girl you trust that wears it and you like how it looks on them, theyd prolly be happy to show you more realistic and mature ways of wearing it as opposed to just dressing up an painting it on for fun dress up. i think if your going to wear make up in public please let someone older that you trust teach you how. theres way to many young girls out there lookin like trash. and if you pick make up thats moisturizing, with vitamins an what not in them, some are even good for your skin.(more expensive tho)make sure you take it off every night, leavin it on can clog your pores an give you breakouts. have fun honey.
