Well first of all if you can't go completely bare faced, try a BB cream? or a very light mineral based powder!
also buy yourself new facial products. scrubs, washes, exfoliates, moisturizer and use them all the time. You'll feel and see such a difference in your skin and its health and glow that you'll fall in love with it.
You're an extremely beautiful girl. You have absolutely nothing to worry about! embrace being so naturally beautiful because you'll wish you could go back to being natural when you're older and your skin isn't as youthful as it is now!
embrace your beauty because you have every reason to. You're a lucky girl :) xx

Everyday before school go to a mirror look yourself in the eye and give yourself a sincere complement. Then saying one thing you want to work on (like say more kind things to others) It's hard at first but over time it's easier to see good things about yourself.

First of all, you are really pretty! If you feel that a little makeup would help, talk to your parents about allowing you to have a tinted moisturizer (or bb cream) and some clear mascara. A nice pink tinted lip gloss would be nice too! Embrace your younger years when you don't even need makeup, your skin is probably supple and flawless! Keep taking care of your skin and body and be happy :)

I wasn't allowed to wear makeup in 8th grade either. you're not alone. you have to realize that it's not makeup that makes someone beautiful, it is everything within; a kind heart, being caring & helpful, smiling & loving your life. if you're smiling & laughing people will be attracted to YOU. Not your makeup, but everything that makes you you. that's what's most important. makeup can't cover up an ugly attitude. be proud of who you are. be thankful for the body that is holding your beautiful spirit. don't feel pressured into feeling you need makeup. no one needs it. if anything, just work on your skincare routine. if your skin looks great on its own, maybe you won't even feel the need to wear makeup to feel pretty. I have blackheads, white heads, dark under eye circles, but you better believe I still feel beautiful without makeup. you have to realize the only person you need to please is yourself. if you ever need anyone to talk to, you can always message me. :)

Brandy definitely said it! You really are gorgeous! But in 8th grade I used to sneak a little BB Cream and Mascara just to make me feel a little more confident throughout the day, and I played sports so I always remembered to take it off :D but just try making your hair really cute and your outfit cute as well :) remind yourself that you are beautiful and valuable every single morning! Eventually you'll become more comfortable in your own skin, but it's something that everyone goes through. Feel free to message or anything 💕 xoxo.

I agree with brandy! A nice tinted moisturizer or lip balm would be nice! Be confident in yourself and remember beauty is from within! Everyone goes through self-confidence issues at some point, you are not alone. Concentrate on what you love about yourself and embrace that! ❤️

Well makeup does do wonders but, you shouldn't let yourself use makeup as a crutch to cope with a low self esteem. Makeup isn't going to fix that. Its all in here -->?? you're really are a pretty girl though.

Maybe try to convince your parents to let you wear a tinted moisturizer or bb cream since they are not heavy and are supposed to help improve your skin over time - or some lip gloss just start out small and see if they will let you - I started wearing eyeliner in 7th grade so I think you are old enough now to start somewhere - but you should understand the only thing that makeup can do is enhance your already beautiful features - makeup does not make you beautiful Hun - there are other ways to feel beautiful with nice clothes or jewelry or new shoes - try other avenues that might help you to feel beautiful and use them whenever you are feeling down - or maybe ask your patents to take you to the spa for some pampering (if they will let you or ask your mom to go with you) anyways there are many ways other than makeup to help you feel beautiful but just remember that it is our flaws that make us unique and beautiful in our own special ways so embrace them!
