Am I old enough to wear makeup?

im 12, turning 13 in a few weeks and i want to start wearing makeup. I do sometimes for dance recitals, but i want to start wearing it casually but not all the time. I dont mean like lots of makeup. i just mean like light foundation and some eyeliner. I used to hate it but now i want to wear it out sometimes to cover up redness. do you think thats alright?

I think it’s absolutely fine to start wearing a little make-up at your age.
The amount you say I think is fine.
I did at your age but only really experimenting with it.
Just don’t wear it too strong as you can look fake or people may mistake you for a lot older and thats never very safe.

You’re not too young but i suggest don’t wear foundation. Not because you’re too young for it (tho i think you are just a little) but foundation can clog your pores and give you skin problems.

I’m sure your skin doesn’t need any foundation. As darkscorpia says ^ the foundation won’t be good for your skin. Clogging your pores just causes oil to build up leading to spots etc.
Why don’t you wear some lip glosses or light blushers which enhance ‘natural beauty’ ?

wear whatever you like, its only make up. and it’s your face, you can do what you like to it :)

*but whenever I put foundation on I always ask someone before I go out if i look orange, some people do. it looks terrible lol wear what you like but ask if you look orange before you go out. thats what i advise anyway lol

use it but know that you might get some unwanted attention. Use it correctly and only abundantly when you’re in a safe situation.
