Makeup

Dear American Girl,

My mom says I can’t wear makeup till I am 12.

Is she right?

Old Enough?

There is no “right” age, but

some girls start to wear a little

makeup in middle school. Moms

and dads often don’t want girls

starting earlier for reasons that

have to do with your health and

even your sense of who you are.

For example, parents want their

daughters to feel pretty without makeup first so they learn to use it the right way: to enhance their natural beauty instead of covering it up. Also, you should already have a habit of washing your face every morning and evening before adding makeup to your routine. You can respect your mom’s rule and have fun talking together about the makeup you’ll start wearing once you turn 12.
