Is it okay for 11 year olds to wear makeup?

(12 posts)
  1. Just wondering, I think a little bit is alright, like barely enough to tell that there wearing it.
    No mascara
    Maybe lipgloss or chap-sticks
    Lipstick on special occasions.

    A lot of people go crazy at the idea of 11 year old's wearing make up. I don't think it's that bad. I mean if you start getting puberty at the age of that then why not wear makeup? :S

    Your thoughts or critism on my thoughts are welcome. :)

    I think it's okay, as long as it isn't too much. When I was 11, I would wear lip gloss/chapstick and eyeshadow on a special occasion.

    I think people go crazy at the idea because these days, kids are growing up fast. Also a lot of young girls are having issues with self esteem. If you wear makeup for fun and it makes you feel good about yourself then that is okay. But if you can't leave the house without it, then that is a problem.

    Lipgloss and lipchap is fine, but not lipstick. No mascara. No foundation. No concealer. No eyeliner. No eyeshadow. No blush.

  5. lip gloss & chap sticks won't hurt.
    lip gloss is cute and fun for any aged girls.
    chap stick is sometimes necessary for dry lips.

    anything other than that is pointless to wear when your 11 and won't be good for your skin in the long run.

    Absolutely NOT! And not until she is at least 16. Rightfully or NOT, people are judged by their appearance. When a very young girl wears makeup, it sends a message about her behavior, whether she intended to send that message or not.

  7. Yeah, as long as they don't wear eyeliner all over the place and no eyeshadow that is brightly colored. Hahaha.

    yes, i think it is perfectly fine because thats when i started! well i think you could wear the chapstick and lipgloss definatly, i would only wear lipstick when im going out to eat like at a fancy dinner, never for everyday use unless its nude. also if you wanted to even out your skintone you could buy a powder foundation that matches your skintone. if you get liquid ondation and you dont know how to put it on right it will look bad which is what i lived through...and didnt realize it. but if you just lightly put some on that could make a nice difference.

    i don't really think an 11 year old needs makeup but....

    if ur gonna wear it then just wear some lipgloss or something...

    whatever u do DO NOT start wearing foundation.....it wrecks your skin..i started wearing it when i was 13 and it ruined my skin, so now i look bad without it...

    stuff like sparkles, light colord blush, lip gloss, clear mascara, that's what i used when i was 11. all that stuff doesn't really do anything.

    JUST chapstick/a barely visible (not tainted) lip gloss is alright. No lipstick, that just makes people look down upon her and parents even if it's for a special occasion. When they reach 12, they can start wearing clear mascara. When they reach 13, teach them the natural look and have them experiment with color eyeshadow and how to lightly put it on so that it's far from being over done. Maybe they can even try eyeliner at 13. From there on you just keep on building since acne usually begins at 14 the most.
