12 year olds wearing makeup.?
Okay so why is everyone a prude when it comes to wearing makeup at 12.
I started wearing makeup when I was 11 because I started getting acne.
And I think wearing makeup at 12 is fine.
But like everyone acts like people at that age have perfect skin when it isn't
always like that.
But, what do you think about 11 and 12 year olds wearing makeup.
Btw i'm 13.
I wore like mascara and foundation...
13 is just two years older. this isn't the 70's people. times have changed. and i washed my face, and just washing your face once doesn't suddenly make acne go away. get your facts straight.
it doesnt nessicarily make it worse. as long as you wash your face it's fine...
I started my period at 11 so bahahaha.
Um no it's not always peer presure. Honestly I could care less about the girls at my school who wear makeup, I wear it cause I look 398598 times better with makeup on.
To L; I'm almost 14....
And no i don't know everything, i'm just saying people need to stop being prudes. it's freakin makeup.

I think its fine just not if you look like a s1utty wh0re like this sixth grader at my school. She has way too much eye shadow, mascara, lipstick and idk much about make up but i think its called foundation? Anyway, if ur just using a lil thats fine and completely normal. For your acne, after a shower dont put anything on. Rub a little banana around your face. Sounds gross, but it works. Splash water on it then pat it dry. It will feel sooooo soft. You can do this any night that youre in the mood.

When people think makeup on a 12 year old, they think of really heavily put on gaudy makeup on somone who is obviously in the wrong age range to be wearing and does'nt know how to put it on. So if you are 12 and you want to put on makeup, go for it. But keep it semi-natural so people can still take you seriously.

When I was actually 10, my mom would let me use powder just to make my skin color more even. No one even noticed except me, which is good. When I was 11, I would put on a teeny bit of mascara at the end of my lashes, and my mom didn't even notice! So, If 11 and 12 year olds DO wear makeup it shouldn't be very noticable. When you put on too much it just makes you look ugly. So, if the makeup is fine with her mom, and she doesn't load it all on, then she should be fine. It doesn't ruin your skin at all, if applied correctly it should do no harm. And everyone gets acne at different times. I started at age 9.
Hope this helps!!!

I didn't let my daughters wear much more than some lipgloss at that age. They didn't have skin problems though so they didn't need anything else. I guess it depends on the girl and what kind of makeup. I don't think any 11-13 yr old should be wearing eyeliner or heavy makeup. If it's an acne problem and they need some coverup, that is fine.

i don't think it's that big of a deal if you have an acne problem to wear some face powder or foundation at 11-12, but personally i think full on makeup at that age is too young. i didn't really start wearing makeup until i was 15. i was really more into running around outside i guess...haha. :)

As long as it's to make yourself feel more confident, I don't see what the big deal is either. I felt really ugly at that age, but started wearing mascara on my light eyelashes and some blush and concealer to cover up my acne and I felt better. I agree, this isn't the 40's! But I think you should wear it for fun (ex. colourful eye make up) or for a purpose (cover up acne). I don't think 12 year olds should be wearing dark lipstick, etc! It's a judgement call for everyone to make.

I think that you should avoid face makeup
.Foundation
.Powder
.concealer
You should try to take care of your skin so that later on it will be better. Although if you do have a pimple or acne, (Totally normal)You can try a light liquid concealer.I suggest maybeline fit me concealer :). As for the eyes, you should play it up with colorful eyeshadow. Not 4 different colors on your eye :0. Maybe if your wearing a purple lavender shirt you can put on some light purple eyeshadow. Just have fun. Try to focuse on one part of your face :P
have fun:)

i think it it perfectly fine to wear make up at 12 years old, as long as it isn't OTT and it is for you to wear for confidence and not to impress anyone else or be like others at your school.
When i was12, i worse some concealer (for any spots and under eyes as i never slept), mascara and a lightly tinted lip balm.
However, if you are going to wear make up at 12, don't try to make yourself look older than you actually are and don't cake it on your face to hide your natural beauty

too much makeup won't do anything good for your skin in the future. a little like liner or shadow is fine and a bit of blush and that's all you need. when you're that young, foundation makes you look old. and make sure you ALWAYS wash your face every night or your skin(face) will pay the price.
