What is the appropriate age to start wearing make-up? Is there really a specific age for one to start wearing make up? Make-up is a topic filled with different views from people with different experiences about it, and those views are influenced by trends. These trends tend to influence the products you buy and use, but when it comes to the right age to start wearing make-up there isn’t really a set age.  I personally started using make-up at the age of 16 , the basics such as lipstick and a little bit of mascara here and there trying to be as careful so possible not to be caught.

WEARING YOUR FEMININITY. There are different descriptions of femininity and each are unique to one's perspectives and ideas. As a young female I still struggle with embracing my femininity in light of the fact that there is no right or wrong way to do so.  In primary school I was one of those skinny tall, dark skinned girls that would get teased every school break and that made me super conscious of my weight and had me wishing I was light skinned like the girl sitting right in front of me. For a very long time I was convinced that femininity meant appearance, how big your boobs were and how pretty your face looked and little did I know that it simply had to do with a female's characteristics and qualities. As a girl ,we are all born feminine and that is our super power.
