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.

And for the record, 100% of this applies if we have a boy later. Their body, their call.

I don't have a daughter but I am thinking 13.

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.

@Mrs. Tiger: That little girl was 4 or 5!!!That is a bit much for me!

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.

Whenever she wants to I think? 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.
