OMFG 8th grade?? I’m 100% sure that they didn’t start wearing that stuff until high school.

From a guy’s perspective: Don’t wear it until you’re 16.

Answer by Jessica
already? they still have premature skin. it could give them wrinkles when their older if they don’t put it on right and don’t take it off at night. i say not until highschool because by then you would know how to take care of your face. makeup is used to enhance your beauty. your still young and you don’t need any beauty enhancing. lipgloss is good for now.

My children are 5, 7 and 9 and i make them were make-up even if they dont want to its just so they look pretty

Answer by maryssa_127
i started when i was 12 but it was just light eyeshadow and light lipgloss… i think 12 or 13 is a good age as long as its not too much makeup…as you get older you can add on things. i think you should start wearing eyeliner when your 13 and you can wear mascara at 12 but it has to be a very very light coat… wear a brown mascara its wayy more natural

5th grade is too young for makeup you’re right to think wearing makeup in 5th is ridiculous because it is. the little bit of lipgloss is good for your age. im 15 and a freshman and i just started to wear eye makeup regularly. i would 14 or 15 is a good age to start wearing eye makeup often and 13 for just some mascara occasionally. i hope this helps 🙂

8th grade is good to star with eye shadow is o.k as long as you do light eye shadow not to dark cause then u will not look good even if u r in 8th, ur too young for it in, 9th u should star with the mascara and eye liner u will look good then.

Answer by Jade
well i dont know what age 5th grade is (i live in nz) but it sounds like there 10?? i think the better age is 12+ because alot of girls at that age start feeling down on themselves and need something to make them feel better or like prettier but its really up to the wearer. 🙂

Answer by Roman S
thats pretty stupid cause u are a girl not a woman, do not follow the example those girls are.

Answer by chula =)

The fifth-graders at my school do that too. I’m in sixth grade and no one is wearing that much, and their all very mature. They mostly just wear mascara and lipgloss. Those girls seem like they’re trying too hard. I personally think that an appropriate age for wearing makeup is when your in middle school, but it’s best if you start in high school.

Answer by eemillliee915
That’s so young to start wearing makeup. I started wearing makeup in like 7th; I think it’s the appropriate age, unless your mother thinks differently, but that’s really the average age. In 5th grade the most you should wear is lip gloss, you can start eyeliner and mascara when you think it’s the right time, but right now just isn’t this is the time to cherish your young skin before you start getting older and breaking out possibly and actually need the makeup to help ya. But try to not use anything as on your face until you really need to.
