I must have been just five years old when I first used make up. I was taking part in a dance competition in school. But after I left school I have been using make up regularly.

I'm not sure, when I was about 6 years old my mom would paint one fingernail or my toes if I asked her for it. They were very bright kiddy colours like yellow, green, blue and pink. The first time I put on facial make up was when I was about 13 years old and had my first dance in high school.

I was 12 when I first started wearing makeup. I fell off of my bicycle and landed on my face so I had to learn how to use concealer until the scar went away and then I jkust kept useing makeup after that. Isn't it strange to think back on how we used to use makeup to look older and then as we get older we use it to try to look younger.

actually I started putting make-up late. I just enjoy make-up when I am 18 years old, when I saw my friends keep putting on make-ups on their faces while i'm just staring at them.. and i got interested on it and ask my friend to teach me how to put all those stuffs and now I'm 20 and can't even live the house wearing a make-up. :)

I was about ten years old the first time I put make up on. My mom was furious because she thought I was too young to wear it. Then I started wearing it again at about the age of 13. By then she knew I was going to wear it, and so she allowed it as long as I didn't wear too much.

I was 10 when I first put on makeup.. I used to read all about makeup in teen magazines and used to see my cousin apply different makeup brands and I think this influenced me in wanting to try on makeup at my early age.

I can't remember how old am i when i frist put on my make-up.I remember i have put on makeup by my mother for performance or taking photos. When i only a student,it's not necessary for me to put on make-up and our school don't allow us to do that.Until i study in college and i try to learn how to use make-up from my classmates.I think it's necessary to put on some make-up when we enter into society.There goes an old saying that "there is no ugly woman,but lazy woman."so every girl need to learn how to use make-up correctly.the foundaion make-up can let your face whiter,the eye liner and kohl can make eyes brighter and shining. To be frank,i don't like to put on make-up on my face.It'snot comfortalbe.I will feel that my face can't breath.As usual, i seldom to put on make-up.I only use latex to protect my face.When i go travel or have fun with friends and looking for job,i will put on make-up to let me more psychic.It is honor for someone else. Make-up is a chemical.Using too much make-up will hurt our skin.so i advise that people must use make-up within proper range.

I started wearing makeup in 8th grade I was 14, and I have been very critical of myself and have wore it ever since then I wish I wouldnt have started . But it makes me feel satisfied with myself. So I wear it. Even though somedays it can be a hassle when you have a fmaily to get ready. But no matter what I still wear it lol!

I watched my mom from a early age put on her make-up.One day when she was nto looking I got into her make-up and put it on.When she saw me she laughed and helped show me the correct way.I never wore it to school until maybe the 7th grade but I wore it everywhere else at the age of 6.I was a pro and knew how to put it on before most girls in my class...lol
