How old were you when you started wearing make up on a daily basis?

Having a discussion in the office as colleagues daughters put full slap on before going to school - they are 13 and 15.

I remember taking lipstick to secondary school but being told to wipe it off.

Think I was about 16/17 and in college.

I was about 25 when I started wearing it daily, although I still don't bother if I'm camping, for example.

I never have.

Dd wears mascara and eyeliner every day. She's 12!

Never wore it daily in early teens, wasn't allowed in school and my Dad would tell me to go wash the muck off my face at weekends. I did get away with wearing mascara quite a lot though. By 18 he'd relaxed and I'd left school so wore a lot of fake tan (urgh) instead of foundation. i'd say I was early 20's when I started to use makeup well and wear it daily.
I've moved onto a fab skin care routine and can get away without foundation most days now...yay.
