Heeeey(:
ok
I love make up
like I have so much make up I could open a store
thing is
I never wear :(
ii put it on
ready to leave
and I will end up removing all the make up on my face
leaving nothing not even mascara!
I always have the thought that it will make my face wrinkly or ii get bad skin or my skin will age quicker
I just wanna feel like the girls who dress and put there make up on feeling all guuurly!
same as the way I dress
I always seem to always rush and not dress as a girl!
pants top and off I go
hmmmm I give up :(

Just leave it on! if you are scared that it may harm you, try to look for healthier, more natural and vegan makeup as an option. and just pull it off, I'm sure you will look amazing and people will love your new look. and for the clothes just try to take your time and prepare them in the evening so you don't get in a rush. :)

Agree wid Julia! And about the makeup..don't overthink it,just put it on and go out fr 1 day.Switch to makeup that won't harm your skin if your worried about tht.
And if you have very few blemishes then start out by wearing jst a CC cream or BB cream(which won't harm your skin),Winged eyeliner,mascara (Maybelline,Lancome etc.) and a warm pink lippie! Then when your comfortable with it try smthng different :)

You could also try just wearing it around the house for a day to get comfortable with it. Good luck :)

Makeup won't really harm your skin unless you are allergic to an ingredient, you sleep in it without washing it off, or you wear it every day without a break. I would start out with maybe some eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss and work your way up from there. That way you don't feel uncomfortable but you still get to enjoy the products you have.

If you have any skin problems (acne, dryness, etc) focus on establishing a skincare routine. With good skin you can avoid using face makeup (unless you choose to).

On the topic of wrinkles and skin aging: make sure you wear sunscreen every day (even if it is cloudy/raining). Damage from UV radiation accumulates over time and breaks down the cell structure of the skin, causing wrinkles and spots. Sunscreen helps prevent this damage and reduce risk of skin cancers.
