How much makeup is "PC" or acceptable for a 16 year old?
So I’ve been wearing makeup for a couple years now, it started when I was about 13, almost 14 I think because I had alot of blemishes, my puberty started when i was about 8, i had my first period at 10 so i was an early bloomer with lots of hormones. I had bad skin and lots of spots, and i was just fed up. i wanted something that would make it stop, lord knows i had tried tonnes of anti-blemish, products to combat acne, i was even on the Clinique 3 step (which i started at 11 and still am on now) but nothing seemed to work; so i turned to makeup, something that would cover my skin, but not be nessicarily bad for it if you chose the right prodcuts.
So here i am around 2 years late and, i wouldnt say total makeup junkie, but i LOVE makeup, its pue accessory, its so fun and you can do pretty much anything with it. I even did my friends halloween makeup for them which ranged from rouged cheeks to full on scary monster makeup; practice really does make things good. anyway down to the question, i’m not seeking "oh you wear too much makeup for a 16 year old! way too much!" or similar comments i’m simply looking for when you were that age, how much did/do you wear? and what do YOU think is acceptable for a girl of my age?
so on a regular day, obviously i dont wear makeup in the house unless i’m experimenting, but on a normal day, to go out shopping or a day out in the town or whatever, i would wear:
moisturizer, not really part of the makeup but its there
primer (optional) i would sometimes use a primer, depends on weather i can be botherd or not haha
foundation, this would usually be liquid, seeing as my teenage spots have still yet to be subsided, even though i do have a doctor prescribed cream for them, i need pretty medium to buildable coverage, i still let some of my real skin shine though though, it’s not all that bad, its just the discolouration and scars i have left behind from acne and the acne still there
concealer, obviously for under my eyes and any blemishes that the foundation didn’t take care of.
now here’s for the tricky bit, i use bronzer
blush
and highlighter
it’s for a look called "makeup without looking like makeup" it’s basically to trick your mind into seeing different things.
i use bronzer in the hollows of my cheek ever so slightly to bring out my cheekbones
blush to give a slight flush to the skin
and highlighter to give me a healthy glow
followe up by mascara, and i don’t usually use eyeliner without eyeshadow, the two just go together for me and i usually wouldn’t wear one without the other, but i usually save eyeshadow for special days out or whenever i feel like experimenting
and i’ll usually throw on a lipgloss or lipbalm of some kind, just something to keep my lips looking healthy.
So to me, this really dosn’t look like too much, it may to some people, but it’s just what i’m used to and what i like applying.
so what do you think? what do you/did you apply?
just so’s you know, i have a geat quote that will shush the "haters" out there
"makeup is an accessory, you wear it don’t let it wear you!"
The bottom line is, i feel comfortable with people seeing me without my makeup, sure i hate my spots and they hurt quite a bit, but it’s me and if people don’t like me then that’s their problem. I’ve gone out without makeup on tonnes of times, i just prefer wearing makeup.
so what do you say?
Girl that’s WAY too much!
im sorry, but you don’t need all that crap on your face!
it just makes you break out more, no matter how bad the product is.
let your face air out once in a while.
don’t wear the concealer or blush. only a little eyeliner.
Don’t even use mascara.
To me you sound cake-faced and need to tone it down a TON.
this is just my opinion, sorry for being insensitive.
Hope this helped.

It depends on what products you use. In Europe, hundreds of chemicals that are used in cosmetics have been banned because they were proven to be dangerous. In America, only a handful of these chemicals have been banned. If you’re in America and not paying attention to what kind of make up you are wearing, you are probably be putting a lot of really harmful stuff into your body with consistent use! Do your research and be safe.

I think what you wear is fine. You seem to realize that too much makeup is a bad thing and makes you look like you are trying too hard. I do wear eyeliner without eyeshadow though. I will only line the bottom of my eyes though so its not a lot, just something to make my eyes stand out a little more. I really like it. I only wear eyeshadow if I have a good color to match what I am wearing. But to answer your question, I teach 8th grade and I have lots of girls that wear a lot of make up at that age and it just looks like they are trying too hard.

well, i am sixteen and i have light acne on my nose and forehead, no where else. So, for my acne, i use neutrogena cream and clinique concealer (best stuff ever made!!). I don’t wear bronzer or highlighter cuz it makes my complexion look really bad and fake. I wear black eyeliner on the bottom, but not very much, and i wear black mascara on the top only. occasionally, i will wear eyeliner on the top or i put on some silver, gold, or light blue eyeshadow. i just think it looks weird when people wear liquid eyeliner on the top, bottom and mascara on every single lash (top and bottom). it looks ok on some ppl, but it looks like a raccoon on others!!! i dont think tht there is a limit 2 makeup, cuz i love it 2!!!! good luck!

Way too much! You only need to use concealer on the spots and not foundation which will only make your skin worse,a good rule of thumb when it comes to wearing makeup,is less is best,make up is only suppose to enhance our facial features and look natural,not like a mask.A little mascara on the top lashes and a little lip gloss and if you need to use powder for shine,use loose translucent powder.I use to apply makeup on people for a living and you should look as natural as you can.

The only problem with wearing the amount you describe is, for a young teen it often feels like…"if a little is good, then more is better." The only problem with that is, it isn’t true…especially if you battle acne. I wondered if you use a Clinique foundation as well? I was going to suggest the Pro-Active for your breakouts. I never had enough of a problem to use it, but have heard good things from those who do. I just use Cover Girl for foundation. My skin is VERY light so I have to buy one of the lightest shades, but it usually blends pretty well.
It seems like many of the cleansers and makeups tend to bleach the lashes and brows, so I use mascara and a bit of brow highlighter. You should think mainly…"health." Anything that possibly drys or clogs your pores sounds like it would be counterproductive for you and less healthy. You probably look fine with just a little foundation and mascara, but your emphasis should be "skin care."
