Should I start wearing makeup?

At my school,a fair amount of the girls wear makeup.It kinda makes me feel left out.I mean,there are girls who don't wear ,but girls who do seem to over shadow everyone else.Its kinda of a "I want to,but I don't want to kinda thing.I wear lip gloss occasionally,but other than that nothing.I don't have any acne or blemishes,so that's not a problem.What do you guys think i should do?Im 13 going on 14.

    Don't feel pressured because other people are. You are very lucky you have no acne or blemish's!!! That's the reason actually a lot of people start wearing makeup. But if you want to try a few things go for it! Ease yourself into it, put on lipstick, blush, eyeliner, mascara, one at a time and see if you like it! If you don't, just wipe it off and move on. It's okay, and I'm sure you don't need it!

    You're still very young so i would not worry about it. I have a mild makeup obsession but I didn't even start seriously wearing any until I was 15 or 16, so there is no hurry. You are blessed to not have acne either, so enjoy having nice skin with little maintenance while you can. If you really want to wear some, just get concealer for under eyes and blemishes, eyeliner, mascara, a rosy and natural blush, and a natural colored lipgloss, and that is more than enough for a girl your age.

    If you start wearing lots of makeup now your face will start to show age later on unless you properly take care of it. Guys are (not to be rude) kind of dumb at that age either way, and if you wear make up or not it won't matter to them, and honestly they won't really notice unless it's A LOT of makeup then they will just think you look funny probably.

    Save the make-up for special occasions it will , and the lip gloss is the perfect start up. The girls just think the make-up gives them an extra edge,and it boosts their confidence levels. Although, if you already know you look good without it then keep on staying the same and work on your confidence instead. That's what people like in the long run, and it will get you farther than any make-up product will. Trust me.

    Well if you want to then you can totally start to (only if you DO want to and not to stop feeling 'left out'), but do try to stay away from foundation because it can break you out and you say you have no blemishes so you're perfectly fine without it. I actually started wearing makeup at 14-15, although i only wore eyeliner and mascara/sometimes blush, and at 16 I started a love for lipstick and blush. Remember to clean your brushes all the time because they collect bacteria and if you don't they'll make your skin break out.

    Personally I'm in the same boat as you, I usually don't wear makeup. Makeup isn't needed for you to make friends, or to be called pretty. It's also not very good for skin. So I think you should wear very minimal makeup if you do plan on wearing any.

    makeup is not something you should wear because everyone else is, its something you should wear because you want to. i really would say you should skip out on face makeup for a while because you have nice skin, but if you want to play around with mascara and maybe a nude eye shadow palette then go for it! makeup should be fun and something you enjoy

    Only because other people are doesn't mean you have to. Only do it if you want to and you want to change your nautriall looks
