I think makeup is fun and artistic. I plan to let her be in charge of her own appearance as long as she is dressed weather-appropriate and covered up enough. I just want her to understand that if she chooses to wear makeup it should be because SHE thinks it is fun and not because she feels like she needs it to be pretty/good enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520928 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 20:15:26 +0000 pastemoo 2520928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cat in the Cradle:<br /> 2 ? Being that she is my kid, I doubt she would ever want to wear it for more than play, but if she does I'll want to play it by ear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520921 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 19:53:37 +0000 Finfan 2520921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 daughters and I'm not sure I would put a hard age on it. I started wearing makeup around 12 but never very much or even every day. I still have a very minimal routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520914 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 19:25:59 +0000 FaithFertility 2520914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont think I will press makeup or make it an issue.... when she brings it up, I think I'll assess then! I don't wear much, so hoping she follows, but I know makeup can definitely boost your confidence in those acne teen years so I am not opposed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520901 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 19:06:10 +0000 Alba4 2520901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: That little girl was 4 or 5!!!That is a bit much for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520838 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 16:41:43 +0000 erinpye 2520838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started wearing it in 7th grade, so somewhere around there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520718 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 10:42:01 +0000 Rockies11 2520718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 girls and I don't think I care at all. I wouldn't put it on them, but if they were interested I would take them to Sephora or one of those make-up classes so they could learn how to use it properly, since I don't really know how to. My 2.5 year old uses my make-up brushes and paints her nails and toenails a lot and I have never even thought about limiting that since it's self directed. I don't even know where she learned about nail polish because I don't wear it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520653 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 07:06:20 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2520653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Old thread revival! </p> <p>I don't have a daughter but I did note one girl in my DS's graduation class (4-5yo) for photo day had on a lot of makeup, including winged eyeliner and pink lipstick. I was pretty surprised by that! She never wears it to school so I'm guessing her mom wanted her to look extra special for pics? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520641 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 06:01:40 +0000 winniebee 2520641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a daughter but I am thinking 13. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520608 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 21:40:58 +0000 NCSUchick27 2520608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I have a daughter at some point I think I would be ok with her wearing it in high school. </p> <p>I have never been that into makeup, and I hardly ever wear it now (only for special occasions). If she shows little interest like I did I definitely won't push it on her. My mom kind of pushed it on me when I was a teen, and it bothered me. I always felt like I looked fine without it. I think my mom just didn't understand my lack of interest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup/page/2#post-2520604 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 21:16:16 +0000 Torchwood 2520604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically whenever she wants to. And she can dye her hair, etc. I won't actively encourage make up really ever, but especially not until she's a teen. My mom actually pushed a little on me trying it (I always felt like it was because she thought it was fun, not because she thought I needed it) when I was in... 7th grade? It kind of annoyed me at the time, but I didn't really care. We're probably homeschooling so school rules won't apply. If we're not then she'll follow the rules at school and whatever any other time.</p> <p>And for the record, 100% of this applies if we have a boy later. Their body, their call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup#post-2520568 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 18:52:42 +0000 hb3233 2520568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom got me makeup for primary school graduation, so basically beginning of middle school. She told me repeatedly that she regretted not letting me wear makeup earlier (I don't even think I'd asked to) because I looked so much better with mascara, blush, etc. She meant well and I'm sure genuinely felt bad about it, but for years after I really believed that I looked ugly without makeup and should never leave the house without it. Mostly I'm just hoping to avoid a repeat of this, I don't really have a set age in mind... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup#post-2520536 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 15:45:06 +0000 ShootingStar 2520536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not going to put any hard and fast rules on it. I hope to teach her age appropriate looks and proper application. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup#post-2520504 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 14:15:24 +0000 catomd00 2520504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whenever she wants at home/on weekends. I don't know if schools have rules about it, but mine did. So middle school probably or depending on what school rules are. i want her to be free to express herself however she feels best, but be mindful towards what is appropriate and when. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup#post-2520438 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 12:07:05 +0000 Alba4 2520438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12-13? But I don't have a daughter! </p> <p>I teach middle school and the girls seem to really grow up in 7th. They are in the midst of puberty and many wear light make up by then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup#post-2520429 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 11:54:54 +0000 caterw 2520429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@minnie_girl I really do NOT like age inappropriate clothing either! My daughter is two but wears a 3t or 4t and I already see little crop tops and bikini bathing suits in her size! There is absolutely no reason for a little girl to show off her tummy or chest area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-will-you-let-your-little-girl-wear-makeup#post-2520428 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 11:51:28 +0000 caterw 2520428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was allowed to wear makeup for dance recitals and plays as soon as I started doing performances (6 or 7?) with the understanding that it was only for shows. I was allowed to do daily cover up and lip gloss in middle school, maybe some extra stuff like *gulp* glitter eyeshadow for school dances. In high school I was allowed to wear whatever makeup I wanted as long as I didn't "look like a raccoon". I'll probably have the same rules for my DD, even though she is already asking for makeup at two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-starbucks-drink-at-20-30-40/page/2#post-2461363 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:19:32 +0000 Pumuckl 2461363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always a tall or grande cafe latte. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-go-to-starbucks-drink-at-20-30-40/page/2#post-2461293 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 12:15:23 +0000 erinbaderin 2461293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start drinking Starbucks until my late 20s, and pretty rarely until my early 30s.
