I went on the metro today and I see little 7 year old and other 10 year olds prancing around wearing full makeup. Like foundation and everything and the 10 year old took out some lipstick and started re applying and I was just there like what... I didn't even know what foundation was then. I knew I knew it existed since I watched my mum apply it everyday but I never really knew all other details and stuff. Anyways, I was just wondering. xo.

13 and that's ridiculous who in the right mind lets a 7 and 10 year old put on full on makeup.

I also never knew what it was society is changing and they are making girls seem to have to be like the models and sadly it's affecting children too😔

I was 14 and I think mothers should teach the girls light makeup and work up from there, just to keep things more age appropriate. But hey! If they're happy I won't judge! 😋

My mom used to let me play with makeup in the house at 10, but even that was just lipgloss and little Claire's eyeshadows.
I was allowed to use clear mascara at 11.
Then I was allowed black mascara and to go out in makeup at 12. And now as 14, I can wear whatever I want. Though I don't have a huge interest in lipsticks yet.

Nicolet I completely agree with you! Bekah I think the same because if mothers teach their daughter how to do it lightly and make them look good then that's great. Katarina I was the exact same😜

I think 11 or 12 but that was only playing around with liks Claires eyeshadow or lipgloss. Never in public! It's hard for me to remember but I think like 12-13 is when my mom let me use mascara. I could use eyeliner but ONLY for special occasions.

I was 14 but even now I rarely wear full make up unless it's a special occasion or something. and I still don't wear lipstick. That is ridiculous.

Um I wore lipgloss when I was 13 then at 15 a started wearing foundation. At 17 I usually only only wear foundation and mascara. I'm starting to fill in my brows too. Only if I feel like standing in the bathroom for 30 minutes will I apply eyeshadow and eyeliner.

I am 18 and I don't wear full makeup ( foundation etc), just on special occasions. I wear only mascara, eyeshadow and sometimes I have a winged eyeliner.

I was 11/12 but all I pretty much did was play around with a small eyeshadow compact I got with one of those free makeup bags you get during certain Clinique offers. I'm 15 now and if I even wear makeup I usually wear concealer, and sometimes I will add BB cream and powder.

I started wearing mascara when I was 15 but now I'm 17 and that's all I usually do anyways☺️ and yeah I feel like little girls these days want to grow up too fast and they don't take time to enjoy their childhood. >.<

12 I started wearing mascara.. But at the age 13 1/2 or something I really started wearing makeup like eyeshadows, foundation (not always), my brows and bronzer.
In my city I see really young girls(9/10) going to another city alone, to go shopping!!' They also wore mascara, lipgloss and eyeshadow.. It's like ridiculous!! When I was 9-10 years old I was playing with dolls..
