Q: I'm going into 8th grade this year and I want to finally start wearing some makeup. I don't want to wear a lot, just some to make me look prettier. My older sister is going into 10th grade and still doesn't wear makeup, and I don't know what my parents are going to think of me when I tell them that I want to start. Before I used to think that people only use makeup to seem "cool" but lately I realized that it boosts your confidence. I just don't know how to let my parents know! My mom doesn't even wear makeup so its a totally strange topic in my house. Help me! :(
A: well first of all your going into 8th grade so you don't need too much. actually if i were you i wouldn't wear anything but some lip gloss. i started wearing makeup early, like 7th grade, and the days that i didn't have enough time in the morning to put some on i thought i looked so ugly because i was brainwashed by the makeup. if anyone says anything to you about not wearing it just tell them that you don't need makeup to look pretty. i got so caught up in trying to be pretty and in what other girls said that i wasn't myself after i started wearing makeup. maybe when you go into high school you could start but only use it to enhance your natural beauty.
