1. At what age did you start wearing mascara and eyshadow?
2. Should I let her wear it for everyday use?
3. Should I be concerned that she is already using it?
Thanks in advance for all the help!
Tell her wat a hore and tell her why make up may makes her look like one
Help her put it on thick.
Make her just about look like a clown.
Send her to school.
She won’t want to wear makeup again for years.
1 – I started wearing make-up in 7th grade, I think that’s age 12. I wasn’t allowed to wear it though, I would hide it in my purse and put it on when I was at school.
2 – It sounds like she’s being responsible about how she wears her make up so I don’t see the harm in allowing her to wear it every day as long as it’s only mascara.
3 – I think it’s very normal for a young girl to want to wear make up. Age 10 seems a little young but if it’s only mascara, I wouldn’t be concerned. My son is 14 and almost all the girls in his middle school wear make up.
Started at 14. Looks like kids are older younger now so i think a little is fine as long as its not overdone. I would say to my daughter, no eyeshadow.
I started to wear make up regularly at age 12 …as long as she is applying lightly and it looks good it really is okay. When I was younger than 12, i wore bonnie belle lip gloss most of the time…grape.
1. i started at 13 because i wasen’t even ALLOWED to buy it till then.
2. if she looks nice and doesn’t gunk it all on then you should.
3. it depends on your standards. if you don’t want her to grow up so fast then you will be concerned. whatever you think is best for your daughter is best.
Hello,
I do not have girls, but when my son started wearing this stuff it was a shock to say the least! Boys are now wearing that stuff too.
I feel if a mom teaches there little girl how to apply it correctly, where it makes them look nice not old. Then I say go for it. As I said though I do not have girls and well the one boy he is different but this makes him unique…..
Coming from a teenager myself:
Okay first off, if you don’t let her wear it she is going to want to rebel even more and wear it.
I never really wanted to wear makeup and my mom toldme i should put a little on when going out etc., this is like the reverse of your situation, but i never rebelled
1) 7th grade, all the time in high school
2) let her wear it! it is just a phase, it will pass over
3) don’t be concerned! it is just a phase. maybe she is watching a lot of television and reading magazines
just let her know constantly that she is pretty no matter what!
1. about 11 or 12 (as soon as I hit middle school… all the girls at my school were all wearing make up)
2. yea.. there is not a harm in it
3. why be concerned.. she is a growing GIRL…
please dont be worried about this..
all girl transinction into wearing makeup… its not that big of a deal
i would be more worried if she NEVER liked makeup
I started using make up at the same age. You should let her use it every day if she wants. And no, you shouldn’t be concerned… if you try to shelter her she will likely go against what you say. And obviously you make her sound responsible about the whole thing.
It’s really not a big deal. It’s not like she wants to get a boob job or something.
Question 3 should be your first question! Yes, she is to young to be starting with makeup! The only thing make up is for is to attract guys. An 11 yr old does not need that kind of attention. She’ll be into that before you know it and then you will really have problems! Most girls have sex by the age of 14.9!!! Don’t let her start attracting boys to her any sooner than you have to!! She should have asked your permission BEFORE she started wearing it!
I started wearing make-up as soon as I could grasp objects! I understand your concern, but I think you need to let her have fun with it. She may not be allowed to wear it for school – but that’s not your rule. My nieces are 3 and 4 and they’ve always got a bit of glittery eyeshadow on. As long as you teach her to be responsible, I’m sure she’ll be OK. I’d worry a lot more if she started wearing provocative clothing.
I was in 6th grade, so i guess i was around 11 or 12 when I was allowed to wear eyeshadow, blush, mascara, and lip gloss. Over course I didn’t wear a lot of it, just a little.
For everyday use, this is totally up to you. If you say she is applying it with class, I don’t really see why not.
Shes a girl, every girly girl loves makeup. As long as shes not caking it on I wouldn’t worry.
NO I would be more concerned if she was having sex and dressing slutty. I think that is something you should be keeping tabs on, and not so much if a girl wants to put on a little makeup.
I didn’t start using make up until I was 13. I personally don’t think it’s a good idea for her to use make up every single day. I would probably let her put a LITTLE bit on for parties, but thats it. I have a five year old daughter and I would prefer for her to be at least 13 and it has to be only a little. I would rather her put on a little bit of blush and a light colored lip gloss, but not mascara.
1. I wear mascara in the summer because i go 2 an all girls school. I also wear it to parties and out to dinner. I’m in her age group
2. Yeah!!! Definitely
3. no, It’s normal, shes probably not trying 2 impress anyone, so there is nothing else to be worried about.
I started around 6th grade
Everyday if shes wearing it moderatley and not looking like shes going to a Party at School.
Why would you be concerned? If you tell her no shes just going to put it on at school to fit in. Take it off right before she gets home. Its not odd for a little girl to want to experiment with make up. Its better than her dying her hair or wanting to be super gothic or something like that. I will admit those little girls who wear all that make up for cheerleading and stuff look nasty and to grown up for little girls but Mascara prolly just makes her feel her eyes look prettier and blush is cute in moderation
Personally…I would let her wear it in moderation and explain to her..if you want to wear it wear it..just dont think you have to because everyone else is you look just a beautiful with or without it. If she chooses to wear it..Just show her whats pretty and how to be natural with it. Mascara and Blush is no big deal but Dark EyeShadows and Dark lipsticks etc. might be over doing it a bit..doesnt seem like thats the problem so it would be a cool Mom Move To let her wear a little if she wants
Even some Glossy Lip Gloss (not color) from Clairs or something she might like
and its cute on lil girls..My lil girl will have her choices when she gets older but I will not let her embaress herself with blue eye shadow and red lipstick lol!
1. At what age did you start wearing mascara and eyshadow?
*I started when I was 11
2. Should I let her wear it for everyday use?
*Let her be free but monitor her use and help her so she doesnt end up looking like a clown.
3. Should I be concerned that she is already using it?
*No,she is just experimenting.Every kid does that.Tell her she looks WAY better without it.
Hope I Helped!!!! ♥
Let her wear it as long as she doesn’t overdo it. I wasn’t allowed to wear make-up until I was 16 and I used to go to school and cake it on and take it off when I got home. Funny thing is, once I was allowed to wear it, the novelty wore off and I only wore mascara. Good luck!
1) I don’t really remember, but I was around that age. I didn’t really start using make up properly untill I was like, 13 though.
2) I don’t see how her wearing make up would be bad. Mascara is hardly noticeable sometimes, and she seems pretty responsible about it. Plus, if you try to hold her back, she may just try to rebell.
3) There’s really nothing to be concerned about. For her birthday, why don’t you buy her some real proper make up and show her how to use it. Don’t worry about make up use, it’s really no big deal. If you teach her how to use it, you won’t have to worry about anything.
Just relax, she’s only growing up! ♥
i remember when i was a little girl when ever my mother left i wore her underwear and feel wonderful.now world is changed.be the best friend of your daughter,if she make some innocent make up under your eyes is better than doing it som where else.
1. i started when i was her age
2. i think you should let her, just as long as she doesn’t get into eyeliner, foundation, etc.
3. i don’t think you should be concerned.
hope this helps =]
well i guess since im fifteen i could help you since im a teenager and shes soon to be one. Well if she knows how to apply it and use it well i think you have nothing to worry about it, but if she soon gets to eyeshadow you should let her were it, but make sure she doesnt apply it too heavy let her put it on very light to start off and she gradually gets older let her start her own style i suppose, but if this helped a little i hope!!
1.12
2.Sure
3.Nope.
As long as she knows how to apply it than sure i think its okay.
But i would watch it, soon mascara wont be enough for her.
It will turn into just using a little eyeliner, just a little foundation.
Most likely she will trick you into taking it slow [i did].
And it worked on my STRICT parents, so just make sure you dont let her slowly takeover.
Now that im older i know you dont need a mask on.
Mom, some of us are just naturally fabulously inclined. I’m now 28 years old and I started wearing make-up when I was 12. I began only using eyeliner- like my mom. I don’t think it should be an issue, she seems to be mature and it sounds like she’s not going overboard with it. I wouldn’t let the colors go to wild or let her wear it to the point that she looks older than her age. Simple should be a guideline. Good luck!
i didnt start wearing makeup til high school, and even then i limited myself. i didn’t want to get so used to wearing it that i felt ugly without it on. i think thats your biggest concern right now, is that your daughter may think she’s ugly without makeup. but she’s 11 and im sure gorgeous without the makeup. if your husband really doesnt like it, but your daughter insits on wanting ot use it, maybe she can do what i did in high school. i only wore it to special events and parties, but not to school. i didnt want to feel the need to be wearing a mask everyday when there was nothing to coverup on my face. oh, and dont be too worried that she does want to wear it when she’s only 11, i knew plenty of girls in middle school that wore makeup at that young of an age. by choosing not to wear makeup, i was definitely in the minority…
I started wearing mascara and eyeshadow when I was about 12 or so. I think you should let her wear a little bit but, not to much to make her look older then what she is. Don’t be to concerned about it. She’s a girl, and that’s what girls do. Don’t let her get to wild with it. If your husband doesn’t like it have a talk, and all 3 of you discuss it.
i was 15 when i started wearing makeup but thats just me. you should buy her a clear mascara because it look as if she just as naturaly long lashes with out makeup. i think you should tell her to skip the eye shadow as i dont think she needs it at that age oh and clear lip gloss also looks very natural. blush is ok as long as its applyed very lightly
I was I believe 12 . I wore a lipstick in a soft pink and some eyeshadow in another shade of lighter pink. My mother was supportive but she put down limits . No heavy makeup like foundation and no cheap perfume . She sat and watched my sis and I put it on .
If you tell her no she can’t wear it chances are she will sneak it and because it is forbidden it becomes all the more fun.
I would compliment her on her ability to put it on well and use the chance to explain to her about good skin care and what to do if and when her face breaks out.
Have her show you some pictures say in her teen magazines of who she wants to look like and then negiotiate what you are comfortable with letting her wear. For example that red is too bright maybe a shade like this one.. Show her a picture wear someone has makeup bordering on clown and explain that when anyone wears too much makeup it looks like they are trying too hard and trashy.
She may tire of the mascara after a bit but eventually she will want makeup. Try to be gentle with her . If she’s wearing it correctly and you feel it looks good I would let her wear it everyday but check her before she leaves out the door
Every female wants to feel pretty first of all.
I started at 13 but my girls started at 12. You should let her if she is responsible and wont make herself look like a s!ut…
You shoulsn’t be concerned that she is useing it! My 11 year old used to sneek mine and her older sisters!!! You should talk to her and your hubby…
Hope this helps!!! 3
I started wearing make-up when I was TEN. I’m a teenager now, and my parents don’t care at all that I’m wearing make-up everyday. It really ticks me off when parents don’t let their child wear make-up. It’s just beautiful cosmetics that make you look good. So yes, you should let her wear whenever she wants to.
although she is good at it and doesn’t put on more now, because she started so young she will most likely put on a lot more later. also, people who start wearing makeup younger believe that they aren’t pretty without the makeup, even when they don’t need the makeup at all with their perfect and youthful skin. i would say not to tell her not to use the makeup, because she will want to rebel and will pile on more makeup. that would turn her against you. just tell her she’s pretty all the time, and MAYBE she’ll get more self-confidence and will stop wearing it. that’s really the only effective way, so if it works, great. if it doesn’t, she’s obviously a natural at it, so don’t worry about it unless she starts piling it on.
1. i’m 14 and i only wear makeup (with the exception of lip gloss) on special occasions
2 and 3. already answered that.
1) i was 14 when i could use tinted lip gloss and 17 when i could wear other makeup like eye shadow
2) no and really not for anytime when you are not going to be with her exp. a family wedding , why because make up is for teens and adult women and there are a lot of pervs who will excuse themselves saying oh she looked older
3)yes because she is probably trying to keep up with friends and let me ask what else are they doing that she has to keep up with? if you give on this one she feel like the next step is easier and if you say no then she will sneak.
you seem like a concerned mom so i know you want the best for her and because my answers seem conservative you may think i am a lot older than 17 but I’m not and i see a lot of my friends get into trouble and their little sisters not far behind trying to keep up. i am so glade my mom was my mom and not to busy trying to be my friend.
I started in middle school around the age of 12, although I was really bad at it! But I thought I was cool. haha Yes I think you should let her use it. Girls will be girls. You would hate to tell her no, then she might start hiding it and putting it on at school or with friends. You want her to feel like she can come to you for anything. Especially girly topics. I do have a great suggestion! I just started using this new makeup, that I love. Very very natural looking. They have everything. And it is made from all natural minerals. Much cheaper than Bare Essentials makeup. If you would like to check it out, just email me, and I will email you the website.
I started wearing clear mascara and light brown eyeshadow when I was about in 6th grade. When I was 13, I started wearing it all, except eyeliner, which didn’t come until 15. When I started wearing make-up, my parents just talked to me about remembering that beauty is on the inside, and to not overdo it. I think it’s fine for your daughter to want to enhance her features, as long as you guys keep reminding her that looks aren’t the be all and end all.
