| Kids look mature these days, so make up is reserved until 9th grade. Lipgloss is fine! |

| I wasn't allowed to wear make-up until I was 15 years-old and I had to fight just to get that. |

| I think she should never wear make-up...it is bad for our skin and a lot of women do not need it! It is fun to feel pretty every once in a while though...so on the rare occasion it will be fine but it will be discouraged rather than encouraged! |

| I think high school is when a girl should be alowed to wear make-up. You as the parents should make sure it is going on the right way. not to much, and a natural look. |

WOW- tricky ???
I was younger when I took to makeup but it was the little girl stuff so I don't think it counted. I was twelve when I wore make up my mom didn't know about so I put 13 on the answer. Just cause of how I was....
I think if a girl is taught how to take care of her skin and how to wear proper colors she could go as young as 12. |

| My mom had to fight with me to wear makeup. I have really senstive skin and it was hard for me to find any that didn't make me break out. I'm 35 and I still don't wear it. |

| i put the age that a girl starts high school-14. a 12 yr old child does not need make-up, like she would even know how to properly distribute make-up throughout her face anyway! a child of that age might appear to be a clown or worse, a slut to some. |

Whats the rush? They will be grown before you know it and then you'll be wshing for the days of "playful" dress up. 15 years is plenty old says this mom of one boy and maybe one on the way! (what do I know know)

I don't have a daughter, so I really can't make a statement. I think that children should play with it at home and this would allow mother-daughter time so that when they come to the age which mother thinks is appropriate, she can begin to wear make up to school. If you can play with your child, while they are at an age to listen, it will become a teaching moment.
However, things such as moisturizers and skin cleansing routines are necessary from at least 4 years old. Being nice smelling and having clean skin is very important, especially if you are a girl. |

| make-up can be a big responsablity that I don't think some girls are ready for at a young age. I was 16 when I to started wearing it but I was taught how to make it appear natureal. I think 16 is a good age, that is when they start being less child and more adult and they have proms and other things going on at school that they want to look nice for. |

| Well I was about 14 when I was able to wear make-up BUT I think that when a girl becomes a teen it will be ok, I mean you don't want her to walk out of the house looking like a hooker or anything but just simple make-up. I think she should be taught how to put it on so she doesn't put on too much or look silly |

| Thirteen is a reasonable age I think. Thats when I started wearing makeup. As long as they know how to wear it, you know soft colors, and stuff. You dont want her sneaking around your back putting it on in the girls locker room. In my opinion if you child cant be honest with you about makeup she might feel she cant tell you things and it could lead to other things. |

| My oldest has started wearing makeup, she is 12 almost 13. I was very mixed about it at first but now as long as she doesn't get too carried away with it we let her. However, if she comes out of her room looking like a street corner girl, then we attack!!LOL |

| I will teach my daughter that she is most beautiful natural! I will also teach her when what kind of make up is appropriate. Playing dress up and wearing foundation, eye liner and bright lipstick are completely different than some gloss and light mascara. Beyond just looking garish on girls too young it's also bad for their skin! |

15 and older, it does not have sense to ruin their pretty face and skin.
They are natural and beautiful. |

| My grandmother started me in dance school when I was 2 and a half and to show up on stage we had to wear makeup. I think that the only exception to children wearing makeup before about 12 is if they are performing in pagents or dancing, etc. |

| My daughter is 8 and she likes to wear makeup around home. When she leaves the house though I only allow her to wear lipgloss, if that. |

| I think that before Piper is 15 she will only wear coverup/foundation to hide blemishes and some lip balm/gloss. |

| I agree with Krista. The poll just generalized make-up. I wear make-up everyday (for the most part). I wear a light mineral foundation because i have bad skin. I would allow my daughter to do the same. I draw the line with lipstick, blush, and the like until she at least 15/16. |

| playing make up as a kid is ok at any age as long as its not in public. But seriously wearing it for school i would say high school, before that if there are skin problems involved then i think concealer would be ok too to spare embarrassment or teasing, and maybe a little lip gloss or something too but no eye makeup! |

| I would let my daughter wear makeup up with mommy to match for fun and such but not to school the only time she will be able to wear that is when she is in her 8th grade graduation and on.. |

| lipgloss with a slight tint of color at 13 or so, high school for all other make-up which puts her around 15. If a mother teaches properly it can be worn at almost any age. My 2 year old was a flower girl and she wore make-up... a little blush, gloss and shadow. Helped with the pictures, but to just look at her you'd never known. |

| i chose 15 or older, but i will not allow my daughter to wear makeup unless shes old enough to have a job and buy it her self because i will not buy it for her at a young age like that. |

| Although I was never really into make up, I put 12 because I can remember girls being self-conscious about it in 7th grade. Also, I started getting acne in 5/6th grade, and I would prefer my child to feel comfortable should the same fate fall upon her (I only have sons, but this is my take on girls). |
