Q&A for How to What Is a Good Age to Start Wearing Makeup

Do what you want. You don't have to do anything just because someone else does it. If you don't want to wear makeup, don't!

Get plenty of sleep, make healthy food choices, drink lots of water, exercise, and refrain from drugs, alcohol and smoking. It’s also important to have a skincare regimen.

You aren’t ugly, and at 9 years old, makeup is too much for your sensitive, young skin.

At 10, your skin is still very sensitive, so don’t ruin that with makeup.

Whenever you have time, go to your local Walmart, Target, or Ulta, and buy some drugstore makeup (drugstore meaning that it’s cheap, not that it has to be sold in drugstores). Some good cheap brands are Essence, Milani, L’oreal, e.l.f., and NYX, along with many others.

Before starting to wear makeup, understanding basic skincare is a good idea. Some skincare products that you can start with are: a cleanser (Cera Ve is a good brand); a moisturiser; sunscreen with SPF 50; a serum (The Ordinary or esmi are good brands, although esmi comes at a hefty 30 dollars). Twelve is also a good age to wear lip gloss.

You can do whatever you want to do. But… personally if you are doing base makeup I think it would look better with some blush and bronzer and stuff like that.

I think you can because it's just concealer and mascara but you might want to consider asking your parents if you are not sure.

Yes. Ask your guardian for permission first, and for a day-to-day look keep it more natural. On special occasions you can glam it up a bit.
