Do you guys have any tips on beginning makeup? Like what to use at first, etc. I'm in 7th grade and feel like it's a good time to start wearing makeup. Any tips?

I'm an eye makeup girl, 100%, so when I was 12 (that's how old you are in 7th grade, right? Goodness I'm old) I wore eyeliner and mascara. I never felt the need to wear foundation, BB Cream (though those didn't exist when I was 12...old, again) concealer, whatever. Only eye makeup. That worked for me.

I feel that if you have good skin, there is no need to apply any sort of face makeup, unless you get oily then maybe powder is okay. If you want to do eye makeup, I recommend buying a primer (I went through most of my middle school years with lines of eyeliner in my crease, ick) so that your eye products won't move. Another good thing to invest in would be a black eyeliner and a colored eyeliner, based on the shade of your eyes. I'd also pick an eyeshadow palette that you know you'll get a lot of wear out of, and just start with those. Mess around, get comfortable and always remember that makeup is for you, and no one else =)

My little sister is in 7th grade and she wears lip gloss and a little bit of mascara and eye liner :)

I agree with Hannah! Find an inexpensive pallet and wear colours you want (not for other people!) and wear powder if you have any blemishes ect and eyeliner or mascara is fun!

Honestly, try to wear as little as possible while still feeling confident though because you will save your skin a lot of trouble

I recommend to start with some mascara and maybe liner if you're feeling fancy:) if you have bad acne maybe invest in some concealer and foundation.
