At what age should one start wearing makeup?

There is a huge debate regarding which is the perfect age for girls to start wearing makeup.

Some parents do not fuss too much about their daughters wearing makeup, whereas some parents don’t like when their little girls want to wear makeup.

According to psychotherapists, makeup signifies a young girl’s eagerness to look attractive. Most mothers think that their daughters are getting mature and want to impress the boys by wearing makeup.

Start with lip gloss

Most mothers agree that they would allow their daughters to wear light makeup such as lip gloss when they are in 5th or 6th grade. Between ages 10 to 12, applying lip gloss is fine.

Foundation and compact

When the girl is 13 and 14 years old, her mother should allow her to apply foundation, powder or compact occasionally.

Eyeliner, eye shadows, mascara and blush

Between ages 15 to 17, the girl can apply eyeliner, mascara, eye shadows and blush at parties.

Complete makeup at 18

When the girl reaches the age of 18, she must know the skills to enhance her beauty by applying makeup.

There are many parents who don’t allow their girls to wear makeup until they are adults. However, most parents believe that there is nothing wrong in applying minimal makeup when they are small. However, even after being adults, girls should ensure that their makeup doesn’t look overdone.
