How old were you when you started wearing makeup?

I was given the age of 13 when I was allowed to start wearing makeup. I was never really into the stuff. It's just not an important thing to me. I'll wear it on important occasions, like to a wedding or something. I might even wear it when I'm in the mood, but I'm generally not always in the mood for the stuff.

me, i just start wearing make up when i entered college, but i am wearing also makeup when i was in highschool when there are important occassions such as js prom..etc. I just wear make up to be more presentable and have a confidence to face other people. And also, wearing makeup is also required in the course that ive take in my college course...

I started only at around 20, when I left to study in another city. My aprents are very conservative and don't like to see me wearing make-up. Maybe because of that, even when I'm by myself, I use only a little bit of black crayon and maybe some lipstick. My grandmother used to say" when you're young you don't need makeup" and "when you're old the make-up won't hlp you to get younger". She was saying that when we are young, we are beautiful as we are, no help necesary.And when old, does npt matter how much you have on.

I'm 21 and I still don't wear make-up. If I knew how to put it on to my liking them I would lol but I don't. My mom actually yells at me sometimes when I don't want to put on make-up because I don't want to wear it. For parties and special occasions I would put on powder but that's pretty much all I put on. I don't wear lipstick, I put on lip-gloss or wear chap stick. I'm kind of glad that I don't wear it because I think it would take up a lot more of my time to get ready to go to school and go out.

I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I was 16 but I wasn't really interested in it at that point. I didn't really wear much makeup until after I graduated from high school. Now, I can't go out of the house without my makeup and hair done.

Seems like it was just yesterday when I started applying makeup. I think I was about 12 years old. So anyway yeah I would say 12 my mom and dad said I did not need to wear makeup I had real beauty. I think they were right. And also makeup does age your face as well. I think a good age to start wearing makeup is about 14 years old, that way they are almost 18 and they might have more experiance with it and more girls seem to start at about that age.
