Children wearing make-up.....Do you agree or disagree??

Hello my friend.

I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I was 13. I have followed that for my girls as well. Our daughter that is still at home with us is 14 1/2 now and she is allowed to wear lip gloss, some of which is lightly color tinted, shadow and liner. She has just started wearing foundation and mascara (though she is learning quickly that mascara is often more hassle than it's worth...lol!) She has to keep it more natural looking- no dark liner or bright shadow colors- and she does a very nice job...she came out today ready to go to a church activity and she looked so pretty!

So, to specifically answer your question- 7 is a bit young imo.

Make-up for children is a no no for me... because i think children, especially the girls... are beautiful enough without make-up... and parents who allow this should be reprimanded... it is like taking away the natural beauty and innocent look of a child... make-up is for adults... so it is not good to turn children into one...

I think that parents shouldn't subject there childern to this kinda attention. You wonder why there are so many pedifiles out there targeting young girls and boys. Well putting all that make up on them will just make them a larger target making people think there is maturity when there really is just a little girl with make up. Parents shouldn't let childern dress or put make up on until they are in late teen years.

I disagree to make up for kids (I don't wear make up myself if I'm not going to a big party or a wedding:D )

I think it's a crime that she was allowed to wear blue eyeshadow. That has been out of fashion for quite a while and I don't think that any makeup artists are wanting to get it back into fashion. Here in Holland they actually make jokes about blue eyeshadow being for old ladies. You see the Queen tends to wear it often and she is getting on in years. Okay enough joking around. Seriously though I wonder if it was something that the parents allowed or that the network wanted? Isn't it possible that the makeup artist for that show spruced everybody up and just played barbie doll with the kid?
You didn't mention it in your post but I wonder if you sent them a letter about your concerns?

it is bad for the girl and she is too young, her parents should educate her carefully!

at 7? Oh I don't think so. I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I was 14 either and I agree with my mother on that decision. My daughter was not allowed to wear makeup as a child either.
I think makeup is specifically meant to make a girl look older and/or sexy or appealing and there is NO reason why a child that age needs to look older or sexy.

well let me tll you my story.. you might not believe it but .. i'm fond of wearing make up.. evrytime i go out to work, or just simply go out for a walk.. I always like to have a make up on.. so my 1 1/2 year old baby girl see me all the time puuting my make up on.. believe it or not i often caught he opening my bag and putiing my lipstick to her cheeks to her browse.. hehehee.. so i tried putting some non-allergenic make up on her one time and put a good dress on her.. she excitedly walked infront of the mirror smiling. then everytime we go out she always likes to have a lipstick and an eyeshadow on.. hehehe... she feels she's so beautiful wearing it.
going back to the question .. for me.. a 7 year old wearing a makeup is just normal and kinda funny.. because maybe she adopts to a person she likes. she admires or maybe she sees it on tv.. it's part of growing up.and is called identification.. she identifies to what she sees... and you should be proud she likes make up than wearing a cap and holding a toy gun (LOL)

I don't like to see children trying to look like adults. Not only is it bad for their skin, it teaches them that they are not pretty enough just as they are. I was raised in a family that didn't believe in make-up at all (reilgion),and I was rebellious and sneaky. With my girls, they started a bit younger than I like 11 for the youngest and 12 for the oldest, but all they wear is eyeliner and every now and then very light shadow. Never do they wear concealer except for a pimple and never do they wear mascara or lipstick, maybe chapstick or lip gloss. They are both convinced that it will mess up their skin and they both like their freckles, the opposite of the way I was.

These day's children are used to more make up and most of teenage girls are really using this make ups too much and they doesn'ts eem to know the harmfull effects of wearing these artificial make ups a sit will also effect their health very badly for sure because of thsoe chemicals added in their make up things
