I don't know when to wear makeup...
Hi, I'm 13 and... 5/6s? I'm turning 14 in November, and I'm going into 8th grade. My problem is, I've never liked wearing makeup or nice clothes before 7th grade. But in the middle of 7th grade, my attitude sort of changed drastically about how I care about how I look, and I started to look and feel a lot better. I always look back at pictures and think, "I must have been a really weird kid!" And, I'm not being judgmental about myself, I really was a weird kid. So, anyways, a couple days ago, I asked my mom if I could start wearing makeup. She said it was fine with her, as long as I didn't wear a lot, and she helped me pick out some stuff. So, I tried it on today, and it made me feel really, well, beautiful, and good. But, I'm starting to get nervous when I go back to school. I'll look and be so different... I don't want my friends to think I'm becoming a prep and dumping them, and I don't know how people will react. I KNOW I shouldn't care, but I'm naturally shy, and I'm just nervous and I don't like change. So, should I wait another year like my BFFs mom is making her do, or should I just man up (wrong word choice) and be brave? I don't know what to do! Please help!

Hey, look if you feel beautiful wearing make-up, I'm sure you're friends won't mind if you wear make-up. Think about it, only you're friends would care if you wear too much make-up that makes you look like clown. Wearing like really light eyeshadows, the ones that matches your skin tone, but makes your eyes glow would be perfect. If you like wearing eye liners, put them on close to your eyes, so they stand out and show how beautiful your eyes are. A little mascara would help too, so your eyelashes doesn't go down it stays up. Blushes would help stand out your cheek bones and give you a healthy glow. If you're not a fan of lipstacks, wear Smashbox lip glosses they are really cute and the shadings look like lipstick, but they aren't. Make sure you wash your face afterwards otherwise you'll start breaking out. I'm just trying to say is that, feel free to express yourself, if your friends don't like it, I guess they never were your friend were they? Good luck, hope this helps.

i think it is your choice when to start wearing makeup. just becuase you use alittle mascara does not mean you've suddenly become a 'prep' or anything, and it certaintly does not change who you are...it just inhances it.
so bottom line: yeah i think you should man up! you should rule this new look with confidence and pride because you know you look good! so walk into that school and work it baby!

The person below me is right: you reallllyyyyy don't want to wear too much make up, especially starting out.
If you do, in five years, you will look back and say "wow, I was such an awkward middle schooler."
Also, people will judge you if you just start to use too much make up all of a sudden. Think about it, if someone comes in looking like a completely new person, its kind of shocking. So ease yourself into wearing more, and start out almost all natural, just wearing a little.
Now Im sure you looked great, but just keep in mind not to wear a lot. You don't need to wait another year, just don't wear too much. (And this means like maybe wearing a little blush and eyeliner. You do NOTTTTT want to start caking your face with pounds of make up! -- Wear make up that compliments and brings out your features.)
Man up! haha but for real, you can, especially if you feel good about yourself.
Hope I helped you and if you ever have more to this question, ask me at my inbox :)

The better you feel about yourself, the less you feel you will have to do to please others. Natural beauty is rare and should be worn proudly.
My wife wears hardly any makeup. When I see a girl who wears a lot of makeup and they really don't need it, I feel sorry for them that they feel like it helps them. Unless you have some facial irregularities or something, less is more!

do you know how many girls out there would love to be able to go out in public without make-up and not feel ugly?
don't wear make-up if you don't feel comfortable or don't need it. you seriously become addicted to it. even simple things like eyeliner and mascara -- some girls can't live without it.
don't become like that. i started wearing make-up i think 6th or 7th grade and although i don't wear a lot, i still hate being seen in public without it. i actually don't leave the house without at least concealer.
don't "man up" to wear make-up! that's just stupid. wear make-up when you really want to and you feel comfortable. plus, no one is gonna be like, "ew she's wearing make-up. she's a prep now and she's gonna dump us!" like. first of all, make-up is supposed to be really light and people shouldn't be even able to tell that you're wearing it. if people can tell, you're wearing too much. second of all, not only preps wear make-up. all sorts of girls do, whether or not you're classified into preps, goths, nerds, etc.
no one should force you to wear make-up. do what you're comfortable with. wait as many years as you want to wear make-up. some girls never do because they're naturally pretty and confident. guys have the hots for those girls cause they don't cake their faces with make-up.
