How Many 20 Year Olds Wear Makeup

When did you kickoff wearing makeup? No, let me rephrase, when were yous allowed to offset wearing makeup?

Nosotros asked you on Twitter and this is what yous had to say:

So most said over eighteen, afterwards leaving school.

Of course, this is not Merica where loftier students are allowed to article of clothing civvies, makeup and colour their pilus however they see fit; only many parents are allowing their children to clothing makeup when they're younger than 18. Say to parties, when going out with friends etc.

I think I discovered makeup along with shaving my legs. And like shaving (which I initially thought was a job needed to perform every night as a bath), I was immediately exhausted by it. What goes where and how do I even?!

Only I took to lipstick. Which still rings true today. I think that was my mom's influence. She e'er wears lipstick. Always. (Tangerine to be exact, that goes beautifully with her red pilus.)

But we are constantly told, similar Manrepeller notes in this article, that "babies shouldn't look like women."

In 2011 at that place was mass outrage over a shoot Vogue France did using a 10-yr-old model, Thylane Blondeau. Dressed in couture and perfect makeup, people questioned the ceremoniousness level.

Vogue shoot.

Kylie Jenner started her own cosmetics line when she was 16, and thinking most kids similar Willow Smith, 17, Millie Bobbi Brown, 14 and Yara Shahidi, xviii, makeup is just a role of their lives from a young age. They are the ones teens, tweens and kids aspire to, especially with the accessibility to info that social media creates.

And children emulating developed fashionistas are already axiomatic on Instagram, which influencers anile vii, 8 and 9 years quondam having thousands of followers.

So, are kiddies who beauty vlog/social media influence, next? It's already started.

I don't think this is such a bad affair, though. It does make me blench when I encounter those pageant babies all spray-tanned and clean-cut to the hill, I acknowledge. But by telling women that they shouldn't allow their teens or kids to play around with makeup because it's inappropriate, or to tell a child to stop putting on her or his mom's lipstick, polices her or his behaviour in a mode that denounces their natural gravitational impulses.

Maybe this could be their futurity career or passion. It's similar to telling a boy not to play with dolls because information technology'due south likewise 'feminine'.

Sophia Swanepoel, editor at Parent24 says, "I love seeing my two girls playing with makeup. It's exploratory, it's creative, and it'south an early outlet for their forming identities. They are still very, very young (the oldest is 8) and so they but play with makeup at habitation or at playdates. But I accept no problem with girls wearing makeup to a school dance, for instance.

"I recollect it's all nigh context. I have a strong reaction against the Faddy shoot, generally because the styling was conspicuously done by adults for adults, and it has zippo to do with the tween's self-expression."

Dr. Jamie Howard, a clinical psychologist, notes that parents should utilize common sense to decide whether makeup is prematurely sexualising their kids, reported in this Daily News commodity. He said that parents should focus on teaching their children to have themselves the way they are, and not to 'demand' makeup to feel good almost themselves.

Local educational psychologist, Anel Annandale emphasises this, saying "The deviation for me lies in the accent on beauty and perfection that nosotros place on the use of brand-up, while clothes-up and face painting is about exploration and giving outing to different aspects of your personality. It is very healthy to allow children to experiment with different looks and types of dress. Your children (both girls and boys) may desire to imitate yous by wearing your shoes or lipstick and this is totally normal from time to fourth dimension, but we should guard against raising our children to believe that they are only "pretty" or "presentable" or "acceptable" when they have enhanced their features with makeup. As women we practise ourselves and our daughters a great injustice past directly and indirectly placing greater value on beauty than on courage, strength and intelligence."

The discourse in which girls are told not to habiliment makeup because they'll await more 'adult' or like a 'slut' also needs to exist washed away with. Lets rather police the behaviour of predators, rather than restrict girls from wearing makeup for their own protection.
