do you wear makeup? do you think makeup is a good/useful thing? do you agree with kids wearing makeup? what age do you think makeup should be suitable?
i don't wear makeup. i never have. i just would never be bothered to go through all that every single morning. i tried wearing mascara once when i was going out for dinner but mascara doesn't show up on me because my eyelashes are naturally long and black.
personally, i don't really care if people wear makeup or not. it does annoy me a tiny bit when people literally paint their face in it so they look like a completely different person but they are obviously free to do what they want and i don't want to interfere with that. i just think it's better to be yourself than a fake person, but that's just my opinion. moderate amounts of makeup im fine with, though.
honestly, i don't agree with kids under 12/13 wearing makeup. my sister (who turned 10 at the end of September) and her friends have gotten into makeup and stuff. she's wearing lots of mascara and eye shadow all the time. and her friend is wearing foundation. honestly i don't see why she needs it bc youngens have such good skin so ?? bascically they are 9/10 years old going on 15. they try to be teenagers. they try to wear so much makeup. i don't agree with it. unless they're going out somewhere with the family or something they shouldn't wear makeup, in my opinion. my sister made a musical.ly the other day and she looked so much older than she is due to the makeup she was wearing. i just think kids should stay kids for as long as possible. why do they want to grow up way faster than they need to? when they're adults, they'll do anything to go back to those days where it didn't matter what you looked like among your peers.
i think makeup should be suitable when kids have at least reached their teens. not a lot, but some.
well that's my long thing on makeup, folks

Yes. I think it's fun. Not necessarily/inherently good or bad. If they want. 10+, I guess. Don't really care.
Started with special effects and cosplay makeup at age 13, moved onto everyday makeup at 15. Just a matter of learning how to apply it. Used to not feel comfortable leaving the house unless I was wearing it; now I go out without it more often than not. I wear foundation/powder and mascara for work, usually.
Tis a shame, though. I have such a massive collection.

Someone mentioned makeup and now I'm here.
I love makeup, I'm actually wearing eyeliner for the first time right now and I feel fierce. I think makeup is incredibly useful, as someone who has low self esteem it helps me feel pretty? Depends on what you call a kid. I think older 11 to 12 is okay to start with like mascara, and lip gloss. I got my first makeup on my 11th birthday and I originally hated it, but now it's like one of my favorite things?
As someone who has always looked older then I am, I never had the problem with it making me look older.

I'll wear mascara to school sometimes, but I don't wear makeup aside from that, unless it's a dressy occasion. Then I'll wear eyeshadow. It can be pretty, but it's not necessary, and should not be encouraged. It's okay for teens, but kids? Nah. Thirteen, I guess? I started wearing makeup to school when I was twelve, and I think I should've waited a bit longer.
Everytime I walk down the hallway at school, I see eleven and twelve year old girls wearing six inches of foundation, and twelve inches of eye shadow. It's horrific.

I don't use it often unless I have to dress up all nice and fancy because I usually don't have the time to + I have hooded eyes which is horrific to apply eye makeup to (especially for someone like me, who has really shaky bad hands) so I mean yeah
it's obviously not necessary but tbh it looks awesome. you shouldn't make people feel not pretty for not wearing makeup though or make people who like wearing makeup feel bad about it, though, because you're really good looking either way - without it or not. it's not necessary but it's also not something people should be discouraged from using, if you get my drift? I feel like makeup is an art style/expression thing so if people want to do it, that's cool - do it! if you don't want to, don't do it, that's also cool.
I personally really love makeup even if I don't wear it often and also watching people apply it is so calming and nice
idk really I don't really have an opinion on whether kids should wear makeup or not
idk really like 13/12 I guess ?? I was like 12 when I first did it

in terms of ~beauty~ im more concerned with skincare n stuff than makeup probably because im allergic to everything on this planet (no not really. i do have super sensitive eyes though) so i dont wear makeup. my mum doesnt either and my family in general, while otherwise being lovely and supportive and cool n all, sort of... dont really think that one should care very much about the way they look and my mum teases me for being materialistic bc i love fashion. that being said my dad is vain as h*eck so idk theres gotta be some cognitive dissonance there
anyway i dont mind a lil bit of lip colour-of-some-sort and mascara (ive got thick, reasonably nice lashes too but it doesnt mean they cant be Even Better) but id probably not get into wearing anything else. highlighter is great in theory too though. i LOVE shiny things
as for other people who CAN put things near their eyes without lookling like theyve just come from 4 consecutive funerals?? you go. you be the makeup goddess (/god/deity in general) u always dreamed of being. tbh i dont like some trends (like Instagram Brows tm dont get me wrong i like thick brows but not Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomade + Concealer + Highlighter Nike Ticks lmao. u do u though) and i dont like the way a lot of thick makeup looks irl (who does though) but i dont judge people or care that much if they do it?? i think it looks ugly personally but ppl probably think trends i like are ugly too so it doesnt matter

I wear mascara only. I was never a girly girl and I really only curled my hair.

i wear make-up regularly, but only if people will actually see me. it's so much fun, but i'm also a lazy bum. and i don't wear much, just concealer, eyeliner and mascara, plus some lipstick or something if i feel like it. i absolutely think so! if you enjoy it, i don't see any negatives tbh. i view it like i do picking out a style, what you wear, what you don't wear and how you wear it should be up to you. obviously, the pressure to wear it is there, but that's not the make-up's fault. i think that if you want to, you should, and if you don't want to, you shouldn't wear it. either way, you look great! here's the thing about kids wearing it - it varies from person to person. one of my closest friends starting wearing make-up when she was 11, and she was a pro at it within a week. like, better than most adults out there. she had no outside pressure, she wasn't uncomfortable with being bare-faced and she didn't act as if it made her more mature. in her case, i don't see why anyone could tell her to stop? her mum sat her down and had a conversation about when it was appropriate to wear it and when it wasn't, and that was it. in my case, i've never felt the need to wear make up. i wore it so rarely that people had to take a second look whenever i bothered to wear even the tiniest bit of mascara. by the time i started bothering with it, my peers had been at it for years. who's to say that i did any better than them for not wearing make-up for longer? i figure that as long as you're wearing it because you want to and not because anyone else is telling you to, and you follow the rules your parents/ school set down, you're fine. i don't believe that we should actively encourage young people to wear make-up, but i also don't believe that it's wrong for them to wear it. having said that, i do worry a little whenever i see someone young wearing foundation, highlighter, eyeliner, the works. you're still a child! start small! but yeah, that's just my opinion.

I don't think it should be encouraged for kids under 15. I think it perpetuates a certain appearance that girls have to conform to. I agree with 'let people do what they want to' but people want to do what society wants them to do. If you disallow that sort of thing for kids, not only are you keeping them away from the mm delicious chemicals in makeup, but you're also setting a precedence on how important it is. Like, not at all important. Why do we all want to build up kids' self-esteem based on such a fake façade of appearance, especially at a time when such esteem is so fragile? You know how all that stuff is meant to replicate larger eyes (and by extension, dilated pupils), a flushed appearance and make the lips perfect and darker? If you're old enough to know what I'm pointing to then you'll realise how disturbing letting kids do this is.
That being said I think it can be a fun thing to do and I myself enjoy it now and then. Although I wouldn't be bothered doing it every day holy moly I ain't got time for that lol

I wear mascara everyday. My eyelashes are blond, so I like being able to see them. I'll also sometimes fill in my eyebrows (like just make 'em a little darker not like arch, fade, concealer, highlighter eyebrow). I do foundation or bb cream sometimes in the winter, but right now the stuff is too light because I actually got a tan this summer and I haven't gotten new stuff.
As for when to start applying it: I guess whenever one feels like applying it?

I mean I'm not much of a makeup person bc I can't pull off the subtle look oops but I 100% support wearing makeup. Especially obscure stuff can be really attractive imo. Yes, you're just as attractive with makeup as you are without, but I think it's great for people who might need a confidence boost to wear makeup and actually feel as fabulous as they are, you know? Everybody has a right to go for whatever style makes them look and the mirror and feel good. If that's makeup, good on you, go have fun. It also exercises hand-eye coordination, creativity, a love for artwork, a knowledge of color coordination, etc. all good things. For age to start makeup? In my opinion somewhere around preteens/early teenage years are the earliest I'd say you want to start. If you start wearing makeup when you're too young I feel like (a) it looks horrific and ( you get kind of ,, reliant on it? Still, makeup is an art, and if you wear it I hope you feel fabulous because you are.
