How much make up should a 13 year old have because I have 4 boxes full or make up and 25 little lip glosses and 2 eye shadow palets and 10 masaras and I don't now if I need more or less ? How much do you have?

How much are you actually allowed to wear?

Think about it this way, even if you are allowed to wear as much make up as you want, whenever you want, there's only so much stuff you can put on your face at once. Can you fit four boxes of make up with 25 lip glosses, 2 eye shadow pallets and 10 mascaras at once? I get having a few extra lip glosses and a variety of eye shadows. But I'm not sure why you would need so much mascara. Keep in mind, make up doesn't stay good forever. Especially mascara. Keeping the same mascara for too many months can lead to eye infections since it's easy for bacteria to breed in it.

Keep in mind too, that makeup does have an expiry date. I was told to discard and replace mascara every three months.

So as tempting as it is to buy makeup, it sounds like you have more than enough.

Where should I buy make up from

[DoulaLC]

Do you like a particular brand? Do you have sensitive skin? I know you are young so you likely would not be spending a great deal of money, nor do you have to in order to buy good make-up. Try Boots as they will usually have a good selection to choose from including products for sensitive skin. Best to use only a minimal amount and be sure to wash any make-up you use off each night.

I don't have sensitive skin and am 13

[JudyKayTee]

We don't know where you are. We can't recommend a shop.

Have you found a brand or two you like and shopped on line?

I'm confused - here you talk about how much makeup you already have. Where did this makeup come from? https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/childr...ml#post2687094

Personally, I would still use products for sensitive skin. The less "stuff" you put on your face the better. Take a look around Boots and see what they have. Of course you will have to consider what you are allowed to be using at 13 as well.

[JudyKayTee]

Agree with Jake - I was told to replace mascara and eye makeup every three months and all other makeup every six months.

If someone else "borrows" it, dump it immediately.

I'm a little confused because your other thread asks where you should buy makeup - it appears you already have a store you've frequented in the past.

[DoulaLC]

It can depend on what your parents allow you to use at 13. Some parents don't care how much their daughter uses, some will limit it to certain products... such as lip glosses, others will say no make-up until their daughter is older.

Am allowed to wear a bit like lipgloss, mascara a bit of foundaiton and a bit of blush and a bit of eye shadow but am only allowed to wear lipgloss and mascara in school

[dontknownuthin]

All you really need is one lip gloss, one mascara, maybe some coverup in case you have a pimple. You are too young for foundation and blush - don't need either and it looks weird on young girls. I would say eye shadow is just for goofing off but you shouldn't wear it out of the house.

I'd say some of your makeup should just be for play and just put the three basic items - touch up for pimples, mascara and lip gloss in your purse as things that are age appropriate for you now.

I live in the uk

[bubblebrain]

Girl, I'm your age and I have less then half of that. Believe me you have more than enough.

My opinion is I think a 13 year old should have at least 3 eyeshadow paletes and 1 mascara but it depends on what your parents say you can have I think having different types of lip gloss is great and a little cover up but not much depending on what your skin type is
