Is 11 years old too young to be wearing makeup?

Question

Alot of people at school wear it, but i don't know if its too young or not

Answer 1

I think it is way too early. Wait till you get to high school.

Answer 2

yes 11 is too young...but that all depends how old you look with out make-up. like some 11 and 12 year olds are highly developed and look 16 so with the right make-up some can pass for 18. You don't want to go around looking like that at 11..it could get you the wrong attention from guys. Stick to a lightly tinted lip gloss and a little blush on the cheekbones ...this isn't to much and should be fine by your parents.

Answer 3

Let's just say, she's kind of too young. I started using it when I was in high school, and wearing it that young is just kind of too overloaded. Lipgloss is PERFECTLY fine, that's why they have Lip Smackers and all that children's brands of lip gloss/balm. Lip gloss is just the typical kind of thing that I started wearing when I was ONLY 9. I had dry, chapped lips, and I did try to impress most of the boys. Yes, I know, pretty immature. But that's how I got asked to the dance, being natural, not being too overloaded. Liner, is, ehhh, it's okay and all, but not on little children. Mascara, not really. It's real un-kid like. It's way to overloading. Light smokey eyes, definite no-no. It's just, too much adult/teen stuff. Your little sister shouldn't be this young, just tell her wear makeup, but for fun, just not in public. People will think, 'Wow! What a young child, is that mascara and lipstick on her?' Wearing lipgloss is awesome, lipstick, no. Be yourself, it's not just because of your face.

Answer 4

I'd say yes it is, although if you are already going through puberty and have bad acne breakouts, I'd recommend a bit of foundation to cover up, but not too much coz wearing make up from a young age is not good for the skin at all. If you have good skin, I would say don't wear any. Besides, if you wear make up all the time, people will be used to seeing you with it, but if you don't, when you wear it when you go out or something, people will be surprised and think how pretty you look. YOu don't need make p to look good for school, trust me.

Answer 5

At 11 years old you can wear...
Tinted moisturizer
Lipgloss
I do not see a problem with an 11 year old wearing this amount of makeup daily. Possibly even mascara on special occasions. Remember, makeup was created to enhance, not to hide.

Answer 6

If by makeup you mean flavored lip gloss or sheer eye shadow/blush, then you're probably not too young. I know I wore some stuff like that when I was 11-12. Just don't take it too seriously! Makeup should be fun! You don't need mascara, foundation, powder, eyeliner, or bright lipstick. Go for very sheer, light, natural colors. You're young and beautiful, enjoy it!

Answer 7

I started wearing make up when I was 12 and at 11 my parents wouldnt let me and they didnt let my sister start wearing it until she was 13,so maybe 11 is just a little too young.

Answer 8

No. I started wearing make-up at 11. It's the perfect age. Now how much make-up you use is when it's a problem. If you are 11 and you look like Barbie, it's bad, but just blush, lip gloss, a little color on the eyes, and foundation is perfectly okay. Just remember to enhance your natural beauty.

Answer 9

11 years old is that stage of a girls ife wear they worry about what they look like. Make up is their way to show the they are maturing and to cover up the fact they think they are not so pretty. At 11 I say that skin tone eye shadow and lip gloss is ok.
(I started when I was 12.)

Answer 10

Alot of people at school wear it, but they're probably not 11 years old. I dont think you should wear make up. Enjoy being a kid while you can.

Answer 11

I would say yes. Im 12 and the only thing I were is lip gloss and a little mascara now and then. You should not be pressured to do things that you are not comftorable doing, and dont rush life because you may not like what is at the end.
