I agree with Alexis that a 13 yr old should not be trying to look sexy. I mean...if Courtney wants to look like that...she can...but no one should be giving her advice and telling her to go for "sexy" on Beautylish. It makes me really sad to think about what our daughters and grand daughters will be like 50yrs from now.
As far as makeup and looker older goes...everything Lindsay said is great advice.

A little bothered on some of these comments saying its not bad to look sexy at age 13. That aint even high school level. And it shows how some of your future daughters is going to look. Its dangerous. "How in the hell is it dangerous?!" Simple really...You have people out here who is interested and seeing a 13 loking 30 isnt cute. Not at all. You can wear make up :) just not too much of a full face. That is sad on some of you all opinions. You have all these predators out here. Smh.

I honestly think you should ask this question to your parents instead of us. And I'm commenting on the part where Hannah G says that "when you are 13 you are a teenager, and can dress how you want" being a teenager doesn't necessarily give you the ability to dress HOWEVER you want but you can dress to your liking in an appropriate manner. If your parents are okay with you dressing older then okay but I think 13 is a little young to have a sexy look. But to look YOUR AGE you can wear bb cream to even tone, mascara, and a soft lip color.

Haha Allison I agree with you plus even though at 13 or 14 your considered a teenager in the whole scheme of things your still a kid , I'm still a kid even though I'm 14

Okay okay. I was not planning on wearing heavy makeup anyway XD I have to agree though,"sexy" would not be the best style when I'm only 13 but people have opinions.

I would just recommend mascara, maybe neutral eyeshadows if that.

My mother always told me when I was growing up and wanted to look older, "if you rush your life, you die young."
I do agree with Alexis C, a 13 year old shouldn't be going for sexy. It draws the wrong type of attention in my opinion. Nothing sexy about a pregnant 13 year old. That's my opinion, I'm sure I'll be attacked over it because I didn't sugar coat it the way 13 year olds like. :)

Ok... First.. Don't wear lots. But if you are wearing any wear a coat of mascara to your eyes, top and bottom. And wear eyeliner on your waterline. Then wear a bit of lip color and foundation. If you need it put concealer on on your undereyes to make you look more awake. If you want eyeshadow do a light brown, always looks good... For hair straighten or curl it. Make 2 braids near the front o your face, then take the ends an join then together in the back making like a headband :). Look older but not too much older..

Basically the lesson here is : do whatever you want to do with your looks, don't try too hard to look a certain way. Wear lots of makeup if you want , the goal should be to feel happy and beautiful , not like you're pretending to be someone you're not.

Alexis 13 is a teen. 11 and 12 are preteens.

Totally agree with Ariana!

No because there's nothing wrong with sexy and wanting to look good.

You can also pluck the stray eyebrow hairs , I don't suggest trying to shape them your self because one time when I was younger I tried and it was not good same with my sister and all of my friends ( also when your plucking don't pluck on top of the eye brow just the brow bone and in between the eye brows leave that for a professional)

Parting your hair to the side and grooming your brows a bit is hardly provocative!! And yes I would like to add that you shouldnt wear heavy makeup at your age but experiment and try some products out a bit. When I was 13 the only makeup I wore was mascara and lip gloss and maybe I would play with concealer or 1-2 colors of eyeshadow. I'm 15 right now and I can remember that doing your eyebrows and wearing makeup was pretty normal. Its not about "looking sexy" its about looking neat and groomed...all perfectly normal at your age.

I suggest maybe wearing some mascara and and blush with some white or shimmery champaign colour to highlight the inner corner of your eye also some eyeliner is good too
But I suggest not putting mascara or eyeliner on your lower water line until you've practiced for a bit :)
As for hair maybe style it like this , but to look mature you also have to act mature
Sorry if it wasn't much help I have the complete opposite story to yours when I was 13 back in June I had people asking me if I was graduating even though my sister was actually the one graduating and she was standing right beside me every time haha
But be happy you look young because you don't have to pay as much for everything like even when I was 13 I always had to pay for a more expensive ticket for like the movies because they never believed I was a child :/

I understand where your coming from, I was like that at your age. But be who you want to be don't do it for anyone else, it sounds cliche but it's true. If you decide you want too definitely grow you hair out, don't wear too much foundation maybe stick to a BB cream if you really want to wear a base, you don't need any bold eye makeup and maybe a bold lip or just a pink gloss. Don't over do your eyebrows just pluck strays or get them proffessionally shaped. hope this helped :)

Ok Alexis, I'm 13 also, I actually like Ariana advice. 13 is real young, when your 13 you are a teenager, and can dress how you want. I'm not trying to be mean but I'm just saying, Courtney can look sexy if she wants.
