Dear Toni

I'm 13 and my friends are all beginning to wear makeup. I want to start doing so too, but my mum says I have very sensitive skin, so makeup is likely to cause allergies and breakouts. But I'm afraid of looking ordinary.

Au naturelle

Dear Lucky

I remember when I didn't need makeup. I could just leave the house, fresh-faced and glowing, rather than needing help from concealer and a blush brush.

Like you, my mum wasn't keen on me wearing makeup when I was at school and like you, I thought that would make me stand out.
