Makeup on an 11 year old.

[Makeupaddikt]

I have an 11 year old daughter and I’ve nevr let her wear makeup as I personally think she is too young however, my friend has told me I’m unreasonable and all 11 year olds wear it although not to school????

So is it me BUmor my friend?

Funny how you never hear this sort of handwriting about boys growing up too fast. It's like there is something dirty about girls growing up. That to me sends a much worse message than a bit of make up.

I don't agree. If my sons at 11 year had asked for aftershave, or to start body-building or even if they'd asked for make-up (trying hard to find male equivalents of make-up) I'd have said no, just like I'd say no to my 11 year old daughter asking for make-up.

I'm not fond of anything that smacks of growing up too fast, regardless of whether they're boys or girls.

Going of the deep end it isn’t and what everyone should have the same interests as you.

There’s too many people with far too much time on their hands and a lot of over thinking.

Some 11year old boys start body building or strengthening because need to for the sports they participate in.

Tell her to mind her own business

My dd is in y6 and I think she would like to wear makeup at parties etc. She has lip gloss and I will take her to get her nails done from time to time and curl her hair. She hasn't pushed for more because she knows I would say she is too young, I think around a third of girls were we are put makeup on for parties.
It has nothing to do with boys for her.

I have allways allowed mine makeup, regardless of age.

I approach it with the attitude that it’s more like face paint. I don’t want them doing “subtle”, or thinking it’s grown up. Mine have the sparkliest of the sparkly eyeshadow and lip gloss etc- claires as pre-teens and my 15 yo has just moved on to the likes of urban decay.

In my opinion, women and girls always look better without make up. I don’t want my girls trying to improve their looks with make up. It should be fun and experimentational.

I find full on goth preferable to the “keep in neutral/natural/subtle” look. It’s a statement, an attitude, not an attempt to look better. As they look perfectly fine as they are.

Please tell me which Uk sports governing organisation allows body building for 11 year old boys ?

You're joking! When my ds was going on Y6 camp they had to ban aerosol products because otherwise there would literally have been a fug of LYNX lingering over everything.

Ds is now in Y7. Luckily he's not into LYNX yet but he's spends waaaay too long over his hair and spends a lot of his money on hair gel. God forbid I want him to wear a good coat - apparently that's not cool.

wow! for my child, that would be called 'cringy' and 'weird' and i totally agree with her. Your child is growing up, she shouldn't be playing with dolls and stuff anymore. My dd has moved on to more athletic things like horse-riding.

ZOMBIE THREAD

I personally am 12 years old and back am allowed to year makeup to school. I do mascara, eyeliner, and highlighter. Not bc I wanna be older but bc I wanna feel good about myself. For all those moms who don’t allow there daughters to wear makeup at age twelve and don’t allow phones, I want you to realize that your kid may really want something and feel left out at school. I didn’t get a phone until I was twelve and all my friends had one at nine or ten and I used to cry bc i felt left out all the time and i don’t feel like i was enough.
