Not wearing makeup feels immature? (lol)?

    I am a 14 year old in 8th grade, and I don't really wear heavy makeup. I use concealer and sometimes clear mascara just because. I used to be more into eyeshadow and trying to let my parents let me use eyeliner on my waterline, and when I finally did, I looked kinda ugly. I also don't like looking like a different person without eyeshadow or eyeliner on.. lol...
    But without being all makeup obsessed I feel like people will think I don't care about how I look? All the girls at my school wear (way too much...) eyeliner and often straighten/attempt to straighten their hair.
    So aside from wearing little makeup, I also have curls, which I love. However, I feel like I look way younger than everyone else?
    Oh and I do pluck stray brow hairs, lol.

    So basically, how can I look mature without using loads of makeup?
    And what is your opinion on makeup making you 'mature' I guess. :P

    Thanks!

    maturity leaks from inside to out, not the other way around

    make-up and other "beautifying" agents may make you appear to be a more independent and mature to the kids around you, but to the actual mature adults of society it won't be so

    so really if you want to look more mature... then you've got a far way to go

    people don't "look" to be mature

    that is merely a facade

    maturity comes with age and wisdom, not makeup and accessories

    but anyways... don't worry about looking "way younger than everyone else" that's absolutely fine...

    however you can change something about other people thinking that you don't take care of yourself by not putting on makeup (which is not true by the way, not all people think you don't take care of yourself if you don't apply makeup)

    you can do that by just taking care of your body mind and spirit

    it's as simple as that

    good luck

    Guess you could say that makeup makes girls look a little older but its mainly on how you dress.. if you want to look mature than go for clothes that would make you look mature :)

    Try wearing a tinted moisturizer. This is light but still gives you coverage. Also try contouring your face with a bronzer. It's pretty simple and just makes your face a little angular but isn't dramatic. Learn how here http://ceeme.onsugar.com/How-contour-your-face-2720438

    I used to be the same... I never really cared about makeup, but I found later I was TRULY passionate about it, and now I wear it like crazy, but not over the top. You may of not liked the makeup on the waterline due to the fact, maybe you didn't know how apply it properly. It can be a harsh look, especially if you're fair and I never go with black on my waterline.

    I have curly hair too, and I like it but I straighten my hair as well :) Nothing wrong with curls!!!

    And yeah, I do, but make sure your brows are even lol, nothing worse than one thick and one thin :)

    You may look younger because of lack of the most vital and essential 4 makeup items that can make you look older, skip everything else if you want, but these three should do the trick. Invest in good products from sephora or MAC cosmetics, some brand like that if you'd like. I'd get a mascara, dark brown or black, a lipgloss, concealer, and an eyelash curler. You'll find the eyelash curler will REALLY open your eyes up, and a great lipgloss can make you look more mature.

    My opinion on makeup is there is such thing as enough, and it should ENHANCE natural beauty not make you look like a different person.

    Hope this helped!! xoxo

    Your shouldn't feel immature. You can put on black mascara instead of clear, because you already put on clear. If you brush your hair it is fine. Curls sound beautiful! I like lip gloss. It could add up and make you look better. Be proud of how you look!

    There's nothing wrong with not wearing makeup and especially not looking young. I'm a make-up artist and college student and I don't wear make up everyday! even though I am truly passionate about it and view it as art. Save make-up for the special occassions, maybe a dance or banquet or something.

    I would get your eyebrows done at a salon. Really adds to your face. But make sure you have them done before you try doing it yourself. Once you understand your eyebrow shape you can do it on your own but don't be a risk taker with those brows.
