    • A new study reveals the (very young) historic period when girls first get-go using mascara, blusher and lippy. Is something wrong with this picture?

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

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

    A new report conducted by Escentual.com found that more girls than ever are starting to wear makeup at historic period 11, which is 3 years younger than it was 10 years ago. And they're not talking about just playing dress-up with their mum'southward mascara. They're talking almost 11-year-olds really wearing makeup.

    According to the survery, 38 percentage of women think young girls are using cosmetics because they want to experience more grown up. And 89 percent of women would adopt young girls to wait until they're 14 to utilise foundation, thirteen-and-a-half to use heart makeup and 12-and-a-half to use lipgloss.

    'Women are mostly concerned that these pre-teen girls might develop an unhealthy obsession with their appearance,' said Emma Leslie from Escentual. 'Over 62.6 percentage thought this was the biggest risk from younger girls starting to apply makeup.'

    And so how immature is besides immature? The issue is certainly controversial – and it's 1 that e'er gets people talking. Take, for example, 13-year-erstwhile model Thylane Loubry Blondeau, who appears on the Apr cover of French magazine Jalouse.

    Sure, she looks much more historic period-appropriate than she did when Paris Vogue featured her two years agone. (She was only 11 years erstwhile in the pic on the right!) But critics are nonetheless saying xiii is just too young to be on the cover of a way magazine.

    What do you think? Is it harmless to allow young girls clothing makeup? Or should kids focus on being kids – and get out the glamorous stuff for afterward?
