My daughter is now about to turn 13 i told her that i will let her wear makeup,she loves to play with it so if she does not over do it it will be ok.
My daughter just recently turned 13. I allow her to wear eyeshadow, eyeliner(mustn’t be too thick, or I make her take it off), mascara, lip gloss, foundation, and blush.
I am 12 years old and my mom lets me wear mascara, lipgloss, conceler if needed(not on whole face), foundation and eyeshadow, and she lets me wear a little bit of eyeliner but not a racoon looking style. Even though I dont nessicarely wear all that I just try to look normal. If she has a lighter complection go with the lighter pink on the eyes and if she has a dak complection let her wear a lighter brown. It will look adorable!
I am 12 my mom lets me wear make up but she dosn’t care how much I wear I used to wear way to much but I like it with just lip gloss eye shadow blush mascarra and foundation
I am 11 and I wear foundation,blush,eyeshadow,and a bit of liner I think you should let her start out with a little bit of mascara and some eye shadow ♥
I’m 12, and i wear cover-up (if needed), a very light eye-shadow, mascara, a light blush and lip gloss.
I am 12. I wear eyeliner, mascara, and concelear( if needed). The problem is i just don’t know how to use it and make it look good on me.
