My First Time...Wearing Make-Up+When Should Girls Start Wearing Make-up?

In honor of #throwbackthursday I decided to write a little post about my first time...using make-up! I started wearing on my 12th birthday which was nearly 3 years ago. I remember it so clearly, I had fluorescent blue make-up with bright pink blush and strawberry lip gloss. Not my best look! My intention was, I was trying to impress the boy I liked and now I know why it never went anywhere.

On that note, this brings me to the question: What age should girls start wearing make-up? Over the years there has been controversy on when young girls should start wearing make-up. I personally think 12 is an appropriate age, so I asked my fellow bloggers through twitter and asked when they thought girls should wear make-up. Here are a few replies I got.

@Cici_Claire "I don't think there's an age they *should* start! It's fun for girls of any age to play around with though" :)

@Cici_Claire @FemaleBloggerRT "I started wearing it when I started middle school, so I was about 11 or 12. It's a good age to begin".

@Cici_Claire @FemaleBloggerRT "13, at least I started at that age"

"I don't think there's an age that girls should start wearing makeup, I do however think that younger girls should wear small...

Amounts of makeup. Nothing crazy. A little blush, eye-shadow things like that.

Of course this is 100% my opinion. If girls want to wear foundation, bronzer, concealer that's totally okay. I just don't think they should

At a young age.

And by younger I mean 11-14"

As you can see I got many responses. According to telegraph.com/UK the average age 10 years ago was 14, now it has dropped to 11. Many people have argued against this and say girls should be at least 16.  I think at any age girls want to experiment make-up, who doesn't want to feel like a princess at 5.  So here comes my final thought, I truly think there is nothing wrong with girls at the young age of 11 to start wearing make-up as long as it's not to heavy!
