    • A new study reveals the (very immature) age when girls first start using mascara, blusher and lippy. Is something wrong with this picture?

    We fully admit to leaving the house fresh-faced and and so secretly swiping on blusher and lippy in the toilet earlier school. But we were at least teenagers by then.

    It seems girls these days are wearing makeup at a much younger age.

    A new study conducted by Escentual.com constitute that more than girls than ever are starting to wear makeup at historic period eleven, which is iii years younger than information technology was x years ago. And they're not talking most simply playing dress-up with their mum'south mascara. They're talking about 11-year-olds really wearing makeup.

    According to the survery, 38 percent of women think immature girls are using cosmetics because they desire to feel more grown upwards. And 89 per centum of women would adopt immature girls to expect until they're 14 to employ foundation, 13-and-a-one-half to utilize heart makeup and 12-and-a-half to use lipgloss.

    'Women are by and large concerned that these pre-teen girls might develop an unhealthy obsession with their appearance,' said Emma Leslie from Escentual. 'Over 62.6 percent idea this was the biggest take chances from younger girls starting to use makeup.'

    So how young is as well young? The result is certainly controversial – and it's i that always gets people talking. Take, for example, 13-year-old model Thylane Loubry Blondeau, who appears on the Apr cover of French mag Jalouse.

    Sure, she looks much more age-appropriate than she did when Paris Faddy featured her two years ago. (She was just 11 years old in the movie on the correct!) But critics are still saying 13 is just too young to be on the encompass of a style magazine.

    What do you recollect? Is it harmless to let young girls wearable makeup? Or should kids focus on being kids – and get out the glamorous stuff for later?
