Wow. I started playing with make up in about the 7th grade around age 12. I remember when my sad acne ridden self discovered joyously that concealer was out there to save the day. I essentially wore concealer and maybe some light eyeshadow and some lip gloss back then.
Now, I have to admit I am a make up fiend. I love all the different effects you can create. -
Well, in high school, I wore eyeliner here and there, but starting in college, I wore it everyday. I only started wearing foundation and mascara earlier this year, and I only started to wear everyday after I started working...at 22. I'm still learning, and trying to find the thing that really works for me.

I wear almost no make up now (at 22). But when I was younger (between 14-16) I used to wear brown eyeliner everyday and more make up than I do now. I think I got it all out of my system in high school.

I've been wearing lipgloss/lip balm for a very long time, but I didn't start really experimenting with makeup [eyeshadow, eyeliner] until about 5th grade when I got one of those super huge makeup boxes with all kinds of stuff in them for Christmas :)
Thankfully I learned that bright eyeshadow does not look good all the way up to there, and it's not scary to put the liner on your bottom lid :P -
I started wearing makeup pretty young, when I was really young I would always play in my mom's wardrobe at her makeup vanity, then around 10 or 11 I would spend my allowance on lip smackers and little things like that. Then when I was 13 my mom took me makeup shopping and bought me my own little train case and showed me how to apply it, (the best she could anyway I had little patience at 13 lol.)
My mom was always so glamorous I wanted to be just like her when I grew up!

started w/ lipstick when I was 15--dark raisin was all the rage back then. later added liquid/powder foundation. Stopped after highschool for several years, now that I have moved up into a management position in my career (now 29) I have started wearing makeup again (tinted moisturizer, eyeliner, mascara, blush) to look more polished. No more lipstick because it sticks to my teeth.
-
i played around with bonne belle lip smackers and some eye shadow in 7th grade. i don't think i started wearing makeup more frequently until 9th or 10th grade and that was mostly just eyeliner and lip gloss. the first time i ever used foundation/powder was in college, but by then i had a pretty normal routine of eyeliner, mascara, blush (sometimes) and lip gloss.
-
I didn't start wearing makeup until I was 19.
-
I started very young probably 4th grade or so but I never really needed it and I was too active to maintiain it, so I didn't make a habit of it. After a job that required me to wear full makeup every single day I got really burned out on it and now I hardly ever wear it anymore.
-
i've been wearing it every single day since I was about 13, but even before that, it was quite often. I probably started around age 11, and would play with make up all the time even before that.
-
I started wearing mascara in 6th grade. Then by 7th I was using that plus light foundation. By 8th grade I was using eyeliner and more foundation. Now a freshman I wear foundation everyday with more eyeliner, mascara, blush, sometimes eye shadow. I have so much makeup!
-
I started to sort of wear it in middle school. Through most of high school, I went most days without any type of makeup at all. Once I got into college, I started wearing much more (in comparison). Foundation, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, gloss. I've also developed a love of bright eyeshadow, too. Always use in moderation! :)
-
I must have been only 11. I used the basic stuff--a little bit of eyeliner every now and then--nothing dramatic and/or panda-like. I used a little bit of mascara and a hint of powder--maybe blush too, here and there. The makeup was applied very lightly. I started getting into the eyeshadow, lipstick, and bronzer when I got older. I am now almost 21 but I rarely use lipstick.
-
I used to wear concealer when I was 15 (year 10), but I never knew how to properly use makeup to effectively accentuate (and apply to) my features until recently this year. Of course, it helped that I could afford at least quality products (like a good concealer, and good gel eyeliner for my asian eyes ;_;). But I keep it simple -- some concealer, eyeliner, and chapstick is good.
-
wow i'm really different from you. I started with just eyeliner when i was 11, i'm now 14 and it has progressed to even eyeshadow, blush, mascara, concealer and even contouring powder. Well in my school your not allowed to wear makeup so i just change and put on my makeup in school. But i normally just use eyeliner and blush, if not it seems like its too much.
-
I never messed with makeup until about 9th grade (14 years old) and then it was just lip gloss and nail polish. I tried getting more into it during high school, but really didn't like it much. All the foundations and powders and blush made my face feel dirty all the time, lip gloss felt like I had jam smeared on my mouth and because I touch my face so much, my eye makeup and everything else got smudged and rubbed anyway.
So by 16 I had decided that I looked just fine without it and stopped wearing anything but slightly tinted chapstick.
I am convinced that makeup permanently damages your skin. I am 45 now and don't have even the first wrinkle or sagging skin. All the people I know who wore lots of makeup from an early age look terrible and are already hitting the botox and plastic surgery.
-
I never wore makeup in high school (except lip gloss) except to special events like formals. I started wearing eyeliner freshman year of college, added foundation sophomore year, added eyeshadow and lipstick junior year, and mascara, concealer, blush my senior year. Now, I stick to concealer, powder foundation, eyeshadow, and lip stain/gloss.
I guess it's been kind of a steady increase these past few years, but I think it's dropping off ^^ (got rid of eyeliner/mascara/blush)
-
Around 7th grade, about once or twice a month.. geez, I didn't even know how to use foundation then! I just slabbed it onto my forehead, and since I applied in little light, I didn't know how ridiculous it looked.. I wish my mother would have taught me something, but she didn't know because she left work before I went to school everyday. In 8th grade this boy commented "you're wearing too much mascara" even though he meant foundation.. omg, bad memories.
-
I started wearing makeup probably around sixth grade after my school put on a play production I was in where we all were to wear thick eyeliner. It seemed to bring out my eyes so eyeliner has been a biggie for me ever since. Now, I wear mascara, concealer, blush, eyeliner, and tined moisturizer. Lip balm and lip gloss, too, but I barely consider that makeup. I still have yet to venture into much eyeshadow or any foundation territory at all, except for acting.
-
I only wore make up starting around 3rd grade for dance. But for regular days I started in 10th grade. Even then I only wore eyeliner when I had the time to put it on.
-

-
i started wearing makeup at 3..lipgloss and stuff..but then again im a dancer and have always worn a full face for my shows and stuff..i was sthe only 7 year old who knew how to put on her own fake lashes! i am 15 now and both my 5 and 2 year old sisters have learned from me all the stuff on how to do hair,nails,and makeup..not like they walk around like this everyday..it is a treat, and gives them something to look foward too when i come home and its a bonding experiance ( plus it couldnt hurt teaching them the stuff i learned at the master classes for later on right?)
-

-
I always messed around with makeup. In high school I'd wear lip gloss or lipstick, and concealer for acne. I hated acne LOL
Now I'm a makeup artist. Surprisingly though, I wear less makeup now than i did when I was in HS.
-
11 to 12ish is when i started wearing makeup. I started out with little lipglosses and pencil eyeliner. I used to play around and now i wear make-up properly. Back then i was clueless :)

i used make-up at 12 for a small period then didn't use it until early 17...(i'm almost 18 now) and i still don't use a lot of make-up, just mascara, liquid eye liner and a shimmer stick...
-
I started using make up when I was like, 4. It was just for play though. I didn't use a lot of make up until I was 13..and then it went from there.
