at what age would you let your kids wear makeup?

[love]

assuming:

 

a) you eventually have children

 

and 

 

b) they want to wear makeup,

 

at what age would you let them wear it (and maybe what specific types of products)?

 

i started wearing makeup (minus foundation) in 7th grade..even if it didn't look that great, i think it's a fair age for kids to experiment..i'm glad my parents allowed me to wear eyeshadow, mascara, and eyeliner at that age

When they want to *shrug* It's their decision. 

(aka I will never have children, I'd be a horrible mum.)

[Tickle Star]

Around 16

[Geeminy]

whenever they get to middle school 

[A Hamster Named Loneliness]

when they're in high school. IMO middle school is still too young to be wearing makeup. 

[Peach Toadstool]

I'd say 16.

[katsu curry chips]

when they're in middle school probably

[geez]

At least 14 but I wouldnt let them use too much

[WenSuelRene]

15 I guess.

[piapentagon]

i think 16 is appropriate but even then i'm not letting her go overboard

i will teach her a minimalist approach and buy her some high quality cosmetics

no cheap drugstore makeup, and she's not going out caked up like a kardashian either

over my dead fucking body lol

i'm not having no clown child lol

if she wants to draw her lips on over the lines like kylie jenner she'd better kill me first lol

tints and lipsticks are okay in highschool and even powders but I wont allow foundation and concealer until theyre older or until theyve gotten the hang of having a good skin care routine. Pretty much just because I dont want their skin ruined

I started to wear make up in grade 7 cause I hit puberty a lot sooner then pretty much everyone else in my class so pimples were a THING for me so it really depends on if they need it if not then probably like 15 for full make up and let them play around with everything else at 7 grade like I did

[Kaitoh]

15-16 but not heavy makeup

[hlynb93]

In middle school, but just light make up with a focus on skin care

[UMJI MOODS]

High school. You really don't need it earlier.

[Night Daydreamer]

16 and very light makeup. However, if they have serious skin problems and need to cover it up, I could lower the age to 14.

[gudetama]

16 and minimal makeup only. They would have to buy it themselves though.

[Sdm]

16 -17 but very light make up. I don't want them to ruin their skin

[Kayou]

Probably will let them play with it for learning but not going out with full makeup too soon, probably light color makeup is fine. Poor healthy skin my cousin’s skin broke because of foundation.

My parents didnt allowed to use makeup until I work and bought them myself which I think is way too late now that I love it so much.

[sakurahanabira]

I knew a lot of girls who started experimenting with makeup when I was in high school so probably around there. And I think it should be kept minimal like just subtle eyeshadow and lip gloss.

[iJungwha]

Freshman year or HS

[jasmin]

i think i will let them use makeup around 12 or 13 years old

but just mascara + blush or very light makeup just so they start experimenting

[bellendciaga]

idk man..12/13? girls wear make-up very early nowadays, heck even babies will come out baked asf fresh out of the womb at this rate

[OfficialQueenOfOH]

Any age that they want. I had freedom since beginning and it helped me not be so obsessed with make up like the ones that didn't have permission earlier. Plus if they are not in their teens yet they can use kids make up.

[CherryAngel]

I'd say it depends on how much they're going to wear. I knew someone who looked like this at 11/12:
