38% of girls ages 8 to 12 told us they’re jealous of the way other girls look.
Anonymous asks:
What age to start wearing make-up?
My daughter is 12 (soon to be 13) and claims that ALL the other girls are allowed to wear make-up to school (she’s in the 7th grade). I let her wear a little make-up for special occasions but not on a daily basis (to school etc). Am I missing the mark? I hate the look of young girls all made-up but also don’t want to be the mom who is so totally out of touch with what has become the norm!

make up
My daughter started wearing make up at age 9. She tried to wear it to school but I wouldn’t let her. I think it is alright to wear make up at age 9 but not to school. Peace out suckers!
Make-Up
My daughter is 12 in 6 Grade and i still don’t let her wear Make-Up to school but i do let her wear lip-gloss at school and Make-Up at home and o special days and birthdays of hers! I think you should let her when she is all ready and will be matcher about it! <3<3<3Robyn1021<3<3<3
Make-Up
This sounds so familiar. My daughter will be in 6th grade next year and has also brought up the request to start wearing make up. Our rule is no make up until she has mastered the good skin care regimen that one must follow. (yes, she has received her first pimple). If she plans to wear make-up she has to show that she will take care of her skin every night. She is now committed to washing her face with a light cleanser and using a light moisturizer on a regular basis. I can tell she is motivated and when we do make that transition into make up it will be on the light side, after all we want people to notice our daughters, not their makeup.
Make-Up
Hi there. My daughter is 12 and in the 7th grade. I don’t have a problem with her wearing make-up. My golden rule is be yourself. As long as she is getting good grades, being honest, and respectful to me, she should be able to be herself. She wears clear mascara and lipgloss. Sometimes a little bit of color on her bottom eyelid. Also, if I need to discipline her for not getting a good grade or doing her chores on time etc., make-up is a great thing to ground her from…LOL! It really works! Good luck!
Make-up
My daughter is 10 ( soon to be 11) and it allowed to wear some blush, shiny lipstick and VERY light eye shadow at home, but just blush and lip gloss to school. But, she is very mature and uses it wisly and carfully and she seems more confiedent!!!! So, I think your child should start wearing make-up when you think she is mature enough!

It’s not a big deal to let your daughter wear makeup just dont let her over-do it.
Make-up
Hi, my daughter is in 6th grade and we’ve had some of these same discussions. She occassionally wears light eyeshadow. Luckily, she’s not pushing to hard at this point. I work at the middle school every other week to help with the lunchroom flow. It’s interesting to see the difference between the bare faced 6th graders and the 8th graders that are made up for an evening on the town. Most of the time when my children tell me everyone is wearing/doing it, I don’t always believe them. I can honestly say that I have seen many a decorated face in the 3 years I’ve been voluntering at the school. My 8th grade son informs me that by 8th grade all the girls wear make-up no matter what they look like. Good luck with your choice.
