When do you think parents should allow their daughters to wear make-up?

When (what age) do you think is a good time?When do you think parents should allow their daughters to wear make-up?
I think around Middle School, if the daughter wants to wear it, then it's ok. But not a lot. Maybe some mascara and some lip gloss......maybe just a tad bit of powder........I don't think any younger than that they should be wearing anything except lip gloss......and once they do start, teach them how to put a little on...not a lot......not to make it obvious that you have it on.......When do you think parents should allow their daughters to wear make-up?

I think when they enter high school, it doesn't matter when they're in junior high. Just don't put on too much make up, it really ruins your face, natural is the best way to go, maybe with a few sprucings. Report Abuse

when they know not to put so much on that they look like whorebags...maybe sophomore or junior in high school, if they're okay, maybe even freshman...but just not anytime before that
13?
I've seen them at Royalty Beauty Pageants as young as 3. Look at the world around you. Did you know that a few years ago Abercrombie and Fitch came out with kids thongs?


It is what ever age you feel comfortable letting them wear it. Look at JonBenet Ramsey and Brooke Shields in Pretty Baby. And if anyone gives you any lip about it (pardon the pun) let them read this.


Child beauty pageants are a multi million dollar industry, kids as young as 3 wear lipstick (as in LIPSTICK not lip gloss) eye shadow, etc.
my daughter can wear make-up when she can move out and vote.
Im 17 And I Dont Wear Makeup But On The Other Hand My Sisters 12 And I Hate That She Wears Make-up.. She Does It To ';Be Cool'; I Guess.. But I Think She Should Have Waited A Year Or So... So Maybe 13 Or 14
For me it will be at the age of 16...because you are starting you to be conscious of everything.At this age...crushes and admirers...and you want to feel cool...But frankly speaking..makeups sometimes will just make your face look matured...and i go for simple ones...
my mom worked for mary k , she told me how to use make-up , i usual don't wear allot and i only wear dark colors at night . I started wearing make up at the age 10 or 11 but it was only like lip stick (light color) and mascara . but for me i think around the age 13 would be OK but even then not real heavy .
I was allowed to do it at any age I want. However, I was educated by my mom about it.





You don't want to wear it in public when you're 7, but it's OK to experiment with it in front of the mirror, where noone will see you.





It is silly to wear too much or when noone else of your age is wearing it. You don't want to look like a baby clown.





I think good age is when you're transitioning to look like a young lady rather than a girl. It waries. Since this transitoin is slow and moderate, I'd say, transition from wearing no cosmetics at all to wearing makeup should be slow and moderate as well. Start wearing very little, develop full make up in a few years. This is the best way to develop taste.





Like I said, I was allowed to wear makeup at any age I wanted. I started wealing mascara and lip gloss at the age of 15, for special events. I experimented with stuff in front of the mirror since I was 6. I put watercolor on my face when I was 4. My mom had a good laugh out of it.
Depends, if your daughter has bad blemishes or acne, then concealer should probably be permitted at any age. Also, being naturally blonde, I had ';rabbit eyes'; and being very self conscious, it was hard not wearing mascara. With my daughter, I will help her with any blemishes or acne at any age, and in about 5th or 6th grade, I will let her wear clear mascara to define her eyelashes. I think junior high is fine for lip gloss and mascara, and by high school it's her choice within reason. More importantly is when your kids can wear low rise jeans and cleavage revealing shirts. Makeup is just the start!!!
i started at 6 years old i ware make-up some time but not ever day i ware make-up when im goin place.
not one single day before their 16, that goes for piercings too kids try to grow up to fast on thier own sometimes we as parents have to slow them down and later on they will say dad im glad you didnt let me .
When they go out and get a job to pay for it.
i started at 7
Hms, as a little girl I just started playing around with make-up but I offically started wearing make-up around the age of 15 because my doctors told me that wearing make up younger then that will increase wrinkles and deepen the lines as you aged. Sooo...huh, this is just me but I would rather have a daughter beautiful and natural then with deep *** wrinkles.
I have three sons, but have always wanted a little girl...but I will be honest with you I think a young woman ought to know how to apply makeup...and having said that I think that each young woman is different, there cannot be a set age. I have seen some as young as 10 wear it and wear it well...while I have seen 16 and 17 year olds that look like tramps. Education is probably the key to learning the correct age...when a young woman learns how to apply it is one thing, but the thing to know is how much...


I personally would allow a daughter of my own to try it when I thought she was ready. Every child is different...


Good luck...
i started at like 3 but only wore make up to school and stuff when i was like in 7th grade
10 my sister is 10 and she loves guys and wants make up so bad so i gave it to her and she is hot
