I don't think that it's such a good idea because it can get expensive and can cause skin damage.

Answer 7

Talk to your parents, let them read your question on here and see the answers from strangers.  Hearing the responses of "just do it anyway" will hopefully earn some trust with them that you are disclosing this.  You want to make sure that you continue the trust with your parents, this lets normal parents know that you are being responsible...that you have done research, and they will likely trust you more in the future.  

I am a parent, and I think 11 is young to wear make up.  However, if I knew I had a responsible daughter that would show me this question that was asked online and the responses, I would feel confident in the fact that I raised a child that would offer honest support to their argument, and I would compromise and allow some neutral colored make up.  

Answer 8

say it helps you with your confidence and makes you feel good about yourself! lol

something along those lines should work :]

BUT dont say cuz every other girl wears it!

that NEVER works lol

trust me
