my daughter has been using make up from about your age and i didnt have a problem with it.
ithink that your mother has to come to turms with the fact that world is a changing place and that trends change and girls now are wanting dress well and present them selfs nice
influenced by what they see on tv and also classmates or older woman in there lives

Other Answers:
I think you should be at least 15. Just my opinion

14 for lipgloss. 16 for eye make-up and blush

I would say in the teens.around 14-15.but not too much!

13

At least 13 or 14 if you are immature

I think you're at a fine age for some eye shadow, some lip GLOSS, but nothing too over the top. Good luck convincing her.

13 or 15 depends on your mom. I'm 13 and can u please email at Hallo_tyler?

15. When you're older you'll realize that 1) if you take care of your skin and don't use makeup too early, you'll have nicer skin and look younger when you are older, 2) that wearing makeup as a young girl actually makes you seem like you have low self-esteem and are possibly trashy

lipgloss at 14, and maybe a little blush. eye make-up 16.

well i have 2 daughters and i feel that u should be at least 16 to wear makeup

21 years OLD

if it were my kids
21 years old
period
and dating too with dad
and to date by self 25
period
God Luck

That depends on family values. There is no exact age. Some people say 16 however some say younger.

Do you really need makeup? Makeup is really only necessary for people that are trying to hide flaws or make themselves look like something they're not, I'm sure you're beautiful without it.

I think you gotta get through puberty. You should be at least 13.

I think at the age in which you can pay for it on your own, that stuff is bloody expensive over time. If you are old enough to work and buy your own you are old enough to wear it.

the appropriate age for a kid to wear makeup is 15.

16, but not too much, even if your 30, please don't ever wear too much. I think if you are 12 you should be able to wear lip gloss, something shear, not too bright or dark. AT 12 you are absolutely beatiful, why hide what has been given to you.

I THINK WHEN UR PARENTS ALLOW U TO, BECAUSE U CAN BE READY AS EARLY AS 13, BUT IF UR PARENTS DON'T AGREE, UR PRETTY MUCH SCREW UP!!

12 is too young.

If you were old enough to understand the signals that you are sending out when you wear makeup, you wouldn't ask that question.

Don't be in a rush to "grow up". You can never, ever, be 12 again, and being a 12 year girl is just as important to you life as anything else that you will do at any other time in your life.

Celebrate it.

You're going to get huge zits from wearing that make up and then you'll have to wear make up to cover all the zits.

well it depends how well your doing with it if you put on too dark or too heavy and why your wearing it i think that 14-15 yrs of age is the appropiate age and the reason why is b/c i started wearing it at 12 years old but i knew how but the thing is is that i was getting the attention of guys that were way older than me and so if your mom wants to take that kinda risk on getting raped like i did then i think shes wrong but i think that ur mom is right sorry. let me just say this i am 16 years old with a 2 year old baby right now. so think about what ur actions are gonna be ok plz

I was about 14 when i started wearing makeup. It all depends on your development. If you are a physically maturing then there shouldn't be a problem with a small amount but if you could be taken for a 9 year old then its just going to look silly.

Also remember that makeup can make you look a lot older than you are and your mother may be worried that you will get the wrong sort of attention from men (not boys your own age) because if they think your 17 or 18 they may try to do something inappropriate.

Understand that she is probably trying to look out for you own saftey in this matter so maybe you need to have a talk and set some limit on what you can and can't wear - i.e. a little gloss and pale eye shadow but now heavy eyeliner or bright red lippie.

I'd say 12 is a great age to start, but you don't need to do a full routine. Lip gloss, maybe a little mascara. Wait a couple years before the eyeliner and such. There's plenty of years to wear makeup. Enjoy being young and not having to worry about such things.

When you start wearing makeup at a young age is when you are most likely to end up with pimples. The most appropriate age for make up would be about a few months after about 2 serious breakouts. When i started wearing makeup i wore a lot, now i only wear it to make my face look naturally pretty. When you can easily tell what somebody is wearing isn't pretty. It's best too look like you have nothing on. If you haven't started seriously breaking out then just wait and your mother will understand.I just turned 14 (p.s. I had the same problem at the same age, if your friends are wearing alot they'll get over it)

well your mom is right. you are only 12, you dont need any makeup yet. for your age, maybe some clear or very light lipgloss and when you are 13 about the same thing. when you turn 14 and 15 then you could start wearing alittle stuff. i think 16 is the appropriate age for makeup. 13 and younger is too young. and alitle at 14 is ok.

i started wearing make up at a young age and wish i didnt now because all the boys expect girls who wear make up to go further with them. i think maybe you should only wear make up for special occasions

Nail polish at 13, make-up at 14, and boyfriend at 15. Everything needs to wait. You dont want to rush things. You dont want to look 23 when youre 12. Its not cool at all.

I think you should'nt put an age on when to wear makeup. Why, its really not hurting anything, it just depends on how much you put on.

i think you should be 15 or 16 to start wearing make up cause when you get older you get older your face is going to be all wrinkly

i wore makeup in middle school. then i look back and realize how silly i looked. I barely wear makeup now. just chapstick and some cover up when needed. no time to put on makeup lol.
