You do recognize/realize that I was referring collectively to the entire list of things @Edward429451 wrote in his post - right?
('makeup' was only one out of a list of much more "severe" changes that I deem to be totally unnecessary in at least the absolute majority of cases)
Also - while I was certainly making a point with my statement (hence, the 'wink') - I was trying to do so with a bit of humor.
I thought of a couple more things to add to my list, but I'll leave it alone, lol. Not trying to upset the girls. .
Yes, but those other things only applies to so few women, collectively speaking. But these women in question get a lot of attention for their radical approach to rebuilding their bodies, so I felt (so girly, I know, right
) that the only thing I could say anything about was the makeup part.
Young girls that just hit puberty don't need makeup!
I met my (now ex) wife when she was 17 and she was from old country Poland raised on a farm. She had never used makeup and her skin was perfect! She didn't need any makeup. It took her a long time to start wearing makeup, and I seen it as a red flag! Then she stopped drinking soda pop and lost some weight. More red flags, lol. She was not quite 40 and what was happening to her was she seen 40 coming up real fast and she had just seen how fast the past 10 or 20 years was. She was about to hit the wall as they say. So she cleaned up real good and began wearing makeup to put herself back on the market, and I was right. (She was gonna marry a Millionaire!!) It didn't work.
Why do women wear a fake face and then demand a "real man"? I understand some girls got a face full of freckles and like to cover them up, but sometimes freckles look good.
I praise God that I never had daughters! I didn't have to go through any of those girl headaches.
I very good thought-provoking question.
Any true country southerner knows - there is nothing wrong with freckles!
There’s no single “right” age to start wearing makeup. It really depends on how comfortable you feel and why you want to use it. For teens, many people start with very light, simple products like tinted lip balm, clear mascara, or a bit of concealer to cover spots. The goal is usually boosting confidence, not completely changing your appearance. If you’re curious, experimenting a little is fine, but there’s nothing wrong with waiting until you feel more ready. Learning basic skincare first, like cleansing and moisturizing, or incorporating trusted products from a Skinceuticals collection can also help your makeup look better and keep your skin healthy. The key is to use makeup as a fun way to express yourself, not as something that feels required.
I started wearing makeup around 12+, I didn't think anything of it.
All the girls at my school did the same, I figured I wanted to fit in. I thought that winged eyeliner was super cool at the time, and I was a edgy teen, with my hair dyed all sorts of wild colors. I didnt know what God thought of me, and I for sure wasnt confident but I also saw myself highly. Its strange.
I would think if I were christian I would've been a bit less crazy lol, though im sure makeup would have been on the radar of course. I dont see a issue with a young woman wearing makeup. When Its done more for self expression. I do not perfer wearing makeup with a goal to perfect or change something. God shaped us perfect, let's enhance our natural beauty instead of trying to hide it
If you notice youre wearing makeup to hide something about yourself, you may want to take that to God and see if you can learn to love that part of you, because it sucks to live in insecurity for the things you cant change. God has plans for you. And he made you look like you for a reason. He loves you the way you are.

As a teen girl, I've been wearing makeup since 5th grade. I regret it so much. It really messed with my skin and just made me look absolutely cringeworthy. I look back and wish I would have just waited because I did BULKY winged eyeliner with a full face of foundation and contour with red eyeshadow and really poorly done mascara. I would wait until about 14 to start wearing it (and even then, just mascara and maybe eyeshadow). That's when you get more of a sense of self and are aware of what you look like, and dont walk around looking like a middle aged sephora blew up on you as a child. I've significantly cut back, only wearing light, small eyeliner wings and mascara, and maybe a tiny bit of glitter eyeshadow for pizazz. Nothing else, no foundation, blush, contour, nothing. It just ruins your skin. Overall, it's perfectly acceptable as long as you dont look back and regret it.
"What age should girls start wearing makeup?"
I think there should have been an option in the poll for 'when they reach legal adult age'. (best answer ever!)
