GUYS AND GIRLS - does this sound like too much makeup?

I'm in 8th grade and I wear

- some foundation/coverup to even out my skin tone and cover up pimples if i have them

- fill in my eyebrows

- mascara

does that sound like too much makeup? I really enjoy makeup and putting it on other people... seeing my friends faces light up when I can make them look like a girl in a magazine makes me genuinely happy. I have a growing collection and I really like trying different products...however I dont want to be known as the "cakeface" or whatever...so does that sound like too much?

    No, not to me at all. I'm not told that I wear too much makeup and I wear more than that! The stuff I wear is:-

    - foundation

    - powder

    - primer

    - eyeshadow

    - 2 different colored eyeliners (a black one one my top lid and a colored one on my bottom lid which matches or compliments my eyeshadow color)

    - 2 coats of mascara

    - blusher

    - lipstick

    - lip gloss

    Indeed you don't want to be known as 'cakeface' - having ten tonnes of makeup on not only is a bad look, it's also bad for your skin too!

    Hope this helps.

    well, i do know some people who are exactly like you and wear similar makeup at school, but believe it or not people can notice even the slightest about of makeup and judge you as a ''cake face'' in my opinion being able to wear makeup to cover up pimples is fine but i don't think you need to fill in your eyebrows or wear mascara. Save that stuff for going put to movies etc.

    No, not all, as a matter of fact, it sounds perfectly balanced. But be careful with foundation. Your skin needs air to breathe, and if you put foundation over acne it gets into the pores (of course) and clogs the pores and the acne can spread. But if you need to use foundation, use very little, not a thick base.

    No. It depends how you do it because I know girls that wear LOTS of makeup and look natural where as I know girls that just wear foundation and mascara and look caked because the foundations messy. It mainly depends on the quality of it. But no its not alot

    That doesn't sound like too much makeup at all :) Avoid wearing Foundation & cover up.. as it can look cake facey at your age :)

  • 7 years ago

    nope. most year 8s i know do the same. you wont be a cakeface as long as youre blending and not painting your face. as long as you dont use eye shadow and dramatic lips. i think thats a bit much. but you sound fine

  • 7 years ago

    that aint a problem but dont have collections as it make others to think you are making up a lot. better finish the one you're using now and then go for next. :D

    Not at all :). Sounds just fine. Also I recommend you to apply a pretty lipgloss as it looks pretty on young girls
