11 is very young. I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I was about 15 which I'm extremely grateful for. I think 13 is the perfect age to start experimenting with makeup. Nothing dramatic but simple lipstick and whatnot. I see a lot of young girls on here with piles of makeup on and iPhones and when I was that age, I wasn't allowed to touch phones or makeup.

I personally think 15/16 is a good age. There's no need to rush into it,

11 is actually young, but as long as most people on BL are older, I don't really mind..

Makes me feel like they're trying to grow up a bit too fast to fit in with society's expectations :)

It's too young they should wait but then again society nowadays is literally pushing or showing young girls that they need makeup at eleven the only I makeup I wore was the smackers lipgloss I didn't start wearing makeup till I was 15/16.

Thirteen is good. I'm 14 and I only wear full face because I have bad skin, mascara and eyeliner. Of course I have lipstick and other crazy things but I would never wear it out... It's just weird to me.

Its also really annoying also when I get critiques on my eye looks from a 10year old...

I'm 16, & I hardly wear make up. I only wore mascara up until last year. I think 11 is just too young to even wear make up. Obviously it's a personal opinion. But I do think there should be an age limit.

I am 13 and wear concealer, eyeshadow, mascara, eye pencil, and highlighter. I got acne early, and everyone had perfect skin and I had tons of pimples. Makeup made me feel more secure and confident, and that is the best makeup!

THANK GOD SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT
I don't want to ask any questions on here because I look at the answers from children and I just
(  ゚,_ゝ゚)

But in the case of them not being allowed to wear makeup at certain ages y'all need to stop. Firstly, you're not their parents. Secondly, when y'all are talking about this it comes off EXTREMELY judgmental and sounds like you have a superiority complex. It totally depends on WHY they want to wear makeup (this isn't just for the children on this site). If they're doing it only to attract attention, they don't have to stop wearing makeup, but they do need to check up with themselves and try to mend their insecurities and take care of themselves instead of hiding behind makeup. They can wear it by all means, but the important thing about wearing it is that YOU feel good about yourself.
