young girls and makeup

6th grade is normal when its are 11 to 12 that is normal to me when a lot of young girls wear make up or get into buy and wearing it here and there. Some even younger because they like to play with it. As a mom when my daughter gets to that stage I would talk to her about make up how to start of and how to were and what are some reason that I think its okay to wear. Yeah during those younger teen years I think its great to practices with make up she she likes it that is good if she doesn't that is fine. Some people feel much better with no make and some people feel a lot better with make up. Long as she isn't caking it one I'm cool with it. I'm sure in a few years she'll want to wear nail polish or something.

I never said that moms put the make up on there little girls. Its a natural thing that most all little girls want to do. I always got into my mom's make up and put it on I didn't need her help to put on although as soon as I was done playing with it she was washing it off of my face. Little girls about 3 to 5 start that. I would force my daughter to wear any I don't really have never much in my house since I'm a stay at home mom and when I go out I don't really wear any not even really for special things do I ever wear make it. I have to feel like I want to to wear make up. I would be okay with 12 because that's middle school that is normally when a lot of girls want to wear something. My daughter is 1 so she'll get into things over time as she gets older if she wants to wear make that is fine with me I'll show her how to. I don't want her to cake on the make up but I'll teach her what is what and what it does and that she has to take it off at the end of the day because it's bad for your skin and stuff. If she never wears make up that is fine with me.

I don't think she would tell you. Toddlers just do with out asking. I know I did when I was 3 and up I knew where my moms make was and I would go and put it on. I didn't know where all of it went but I knew it went on the body and not in the mouth. NO little girl is going to ask mommy is it okay to wear make up. Its not something a child has to ask to do like driving the car or going to a friends house. Kids are kids and they will get into things. I wouldn't be surprised if next year when my daughter is two that she finds some make up to put on. It makes for so funny pictures because they want to dress up like mommy for a little bit. Right now my daughter is at that age where food is like make up.

i see..i like wearing make-up myself..my mom is into make-up too but i haven't started putting on and was really into make-up until i was about 21 or 22..if my little girl would want to put make-up on herself at 5 or 6..i would tell her not to..but if she really wants to put on make-up she can start at that age of 13 or up....

Its not going to do much to you I wore make up as a little girl. My mom never forced me to wear it or made me wear it. All little girls get into there mom's make up some times and play with it. Its a cute little thing its like when they play dress up with your clothes. If my daughter did it I wouldn't get upset or anything probably take some funny pictures and then wash her off. But I don't keep much in my house because I don't really wear any and I look younger then I am not because I don't wear make up be because of my genetics my mom wore lots of make up after she had me and my brothers and even in her teen years and I'll tell you people still ask her when she is going to have another baby. I don't think girls should have to wear make or feel that they should. But I'm not going to tell my daughter that she can't and what age is or isn't okay. That is up to her to choice since she is her own person. I would feel better if she wait till middle school but if she wanted to wear nail polish one day to school I would put it on her.

I agree if your going to wear it put it on the right way. Me I would explain why women wear make up and that you don't have to wear it every day. Maybe when you have a job where your seen every day by a lot of people you might want to have a little but not all jobs do need it. I don't wear much make up myself either not even for special things. Some times I'll get in the mood for it.

Okay but that doesn't say what age you feel is okay which was the question. Yes it is natural for a lot of girls that are really young to want to wear make up and get into. I know I got into my moms as a little girl and I don't really wear make up any more I don't really care for it but I do know how to apply it on myself if I do wear it. I'm okay with any my daughter wearing make up I can't tell her what she can do or not when it comes to her own looks unless its inappropriate to wear and she looks like a clown then I'm going to have to have her take it off and learn how to wear it if she is. I know lots of girls that wore make up all through there teens years and they still look fine its all about how much you wear and your skin times not all teens have sensitive skin it comes down mostly to genetics.

Well the question wasn't about if you wear make up or not and when. It was about what do you feel is the right age for a young girl to wear make up?

aLL 4 of my girls were so very different in maturity levels and personality that they were all different when it came to what they were and were not allowed to do for most things such as walking to the store without me and things like that. Things like makeup, shaving legs, etc I was much more laid back with. I think that because I never made much of an issue of it, it never was an issue. My mother would NOT let me shave my legs until I was 14! Oh trust me, I did but really? I just never had an issue with these things with my girls and I think it was because I didn't wait until they were of an age to wear these things...it was a natural thing. Communication is key. From the time they were little we talked about how to dress for various things...make up ...how to be ..the whole package. It just never was an issue for us.

I remember a few times when I was younger my mom would shave my legs if I asked her she didn't let me use a razor on myself till I was 12. I was a gymnast so some times you had to shave your legs or you would get pointed for that stuff but thankful those times that I had to before I could do it on my own wasn't that often. Although back then I didn't shave the way I do now. I shave more often now that I'm married and have a my daughter to take care. Now probably in the next few weeks I'll have to stop that since I might not be able to see my legs and stuff to well to shave. I like to think there are certain things I'm more comfortable with then others. My mom never made a big deal about make up. I taught myself by looking at other girls that I went to school with and stuff. Most of the time I just wore it around the house or church but when I was old enough to wear it where that my parents left for me but I was never really into it. Its not my thing so even now I don't have much make up in the house. For some parents clothes and makeup on there daughters are a big thing. If it isn't causing a money issue or what my daughter is wearing covers her body and isn't offensive to others then I'm okay with her wearing it or having it. If she looks like a clown I would make her fix it first or not wear at all for that day.

In my head I have a set age but that doesn't mean my daughter is going go with it I know that. She is 14 months she plays with anything she get a hold of and I know as she gets bigger she might play with make up and wear it around the house or out. But I would let go out looking like a clown wearing all kind of make up not even as a teen would I let my daughter do that. Make is to not really be seen to much. If I ware make up my daughter watches me and she likes to pretend to put some one. I give her my blush brush after I clean it off really well and I pretend to put some on her cheeks and then she tries it and then of course it goes for them mouth. I think she looks pretty the way she is and if she told me around what ever age that she wants to wear make up I will think about it and either one show her or tell her she is kind of young to wear out in the house or if she does it correctly then she can wear it when ever but she has to take it off before naps or bed.

I think even a lot of the little girls that are into sports and all would want to play with make up. I was such a tom boy when I was a little girl. I was into sports, climbing trees, catching frogs and all. I had an Aunt that lived with us whenever she was around that was a model..all glamor and glitz, I so admired her and I loved to play with her make up. She let me. My mom hated it but I loved it. I think if you keep these things from a little girl entirely, she will be the girl in the bathroom before school starts piling it on and then washing it off before coming home. My mother so very much disapproved of it that I was that girl only thanks to my Aunt, I had a clue as to how to apply it.

Well most little girls aren't really tom boys till late toddler years so most likely all girls play with make up or markers or something to draw on themselves with. I was a tom boy but that never stopped me from getting in my mom things as little girl. But there from time to time girls that never play with makeup at a young age but that normally is ever rare and most likely have more males around them then females to associate with. Children will do almost anything that they are not allowed to do behind there parents back or things that there parents never talk to them about. I would say a girl that's parents don't let her or allow her to wear certain things will or will not do something behind there back. Its the child themselves that controls the actions that they choice to do. Parents can't control those actions that there children take all they can do is hope what they do teach there child is the right thing and that they can ask them pretty much anything and get and understand to why it is they can't wear or do certain things that maybe there friends are allowed to do.

I'm not strict on anything. But there always a right age for every child depending on there personality and maturity. All little girls want to play with make up unless they are sportiest girl then they might not be to into make up ever. To really wear make up every day I was say around Middle school high school but not to get the attention of other people but if it makes them-self feel good about themselves then I'm fine with that. My daughter is only 1 so she doesn't really like or think of make up. Although she loves to play with my brushes for the blush. Its cute but I make sure there isn't anything on it because she would stick it in her mouth.

A girl is an adult after they are 18. A parent has no right after that to tell there daughter what she can't wear make up. There is no right age to when a girl should or shouldn't wear make up its up to that girl and her maturity level.

I didn't ask what was normal for other teens. What you feel as parent that you would feel comfortable around what age for your own daughter to wear make up? Like I said not till my daughter is in the teen years would I be okay with it because yes that is the normal age for girls but not all girls. All little girls play with make up way before then it's just that they don't wear it out of the house till they are pretty much need a reason to impress someone or others.
