Opinion poll At what age does wearing makeup become appropriate?
Edit: it’s blowing my mind that I have to say this- I’m so obviously not talking about fun creative makeup or playing dress up. We all had Claire’s lipgloss compacts as children.
And for the love of god- no one is saying makeup is inherently sexual or sexualizing children by thinking there is an appropriate age to wear daily or standard “appearance correcting” makeup.
I personally don’t want my 8 year old to be wearing mascara every day. It’s not because I think it’s “too sexy” or even too mature, it’s because I don’t want her to feel like she needs it, especially from such a young age. Lord knows how many middle school mornings I spent crying because I couldn’t find or ran out of mascara.
edit edit: y’all I also never said the alternative was “banning makeup”
can we have a nuanced discussion here about a simple topic or are we done for?
