What kind of makeup should a 6th grader wear?

Question

my little cousin keeps on asking me cause she likes how i do my makeup. but i tell her not to put any one cause it will ruin her skin.

i told her just to wear a little mascara and lip gloss

what do you think a 6th grader should wear. she really wants to wear eye liner but i didn't say anything to that

Answer 1

If you tell her absolutely none, then she will just do it anyway and end up looking overly made-up because she doesn't know how to properly apply it.

When I was in the sixth grade, I wore fun lip balms and lip gloss, and a little bit of sparkly eyeshadow. It was probably all from the Smackers line by Bonne Bell too, lol.

I think eyeliner looks overdone on an 11/12 year old, and maybe mascara too if it's not applied right.

Tell her that we wear makeup to enhance our natural beauty, but she is still beautiful enough without needing to wear much makeup.

Answer 2

At her age, I would say nothing more than just a little lip gloss, not until she's older.

Answer 3

maybe lip gloss n a lil gliter but nothing else  

Answer 4

If she really really wants to, tell her to go natural.

I would recommend she get a really good brand.

Answer 5

none

she is in sixth grade she is too young.

Answer 6

i think a 6th grader should wear lipgloss, eyeshadow and thats it. at that age she shouldn't wear alot of make up

Answer 7

lip gloss and thats it anything else is too much save makeup for high school and stay away from concealers...they ruin your skin i dont use concealer and i never have and ive never had a zit in my life im 17 and all i wear is mascara and lip balm not even a gloss natural is alot better and 6th grade is way too young

Answer 8

none

Answer 9

mascara, tinted mosturizer, bronzer, lip gloss.  

Answer 10

clear lipgloss, or a light pink and maybe eyeshadow

but in the overall none

when i was in the sixth grade this girl gained this reputation for wearing too much make up, and made fun of a lot because she couldn't apply it right.

Answer 11

i think that i agree with you totally even though im 12 and going into the seventh grade. well i think you should tell her not to over do it adn guide her through it.

Answer 12

none, goodness

but lip gloss is fine at her age. she just got out of 5th grade, so that should be enough.

Answer 13

none at allll

Answer 14

Ummmm for her, as a 6th grader i wouldnt wear any..

but if she must i think a little bit of mascara on the top lash

and some pretty lip gloss =]

I think that would be prety..

and if she has to have eyeshadow and u give in,

a light light brown would be pretty =]

Maybe some shimmer

Answer 15

Honestly 6th grade is too young for the full deal yet. That age needs to be sticking to lip gloss and nail polish. Too adult and it sends the wrong message...especially to some creepy adults.

Were it my daughter, if she wanted to play with more then she may at home, but it stays at home, it's not for public until high school.

Kids don't understand the kind of (adult sexual) messages makeup sends. And there are too many creeps out there that respond to that sort of thing.

Answer 16

im in seventh, in sixth grade i wore a little brown liner on the bottom&& some shadow,

all natural colors no bright colors or anything, .

&& gloss is perfect( :

hopt this helpsx)

Answer 17

some dora the exlporer lip gloss

Answer 18

the truth is YOU are the sixth grader and ur making ur cousin up for an excuse

Answer 19

Other than lip gloss a 6th grader shouldn't wear makeup.

Answer 20

6th grade is WAY too young to wear ANY make-up.

Answer 21

I don't see what would be wrong with letting her wear eye liner, it is the cool thing now, if the "cool" girls at school are wearing eye liner, it would probably be best to just let her do it so she is confident and feels like she fits in.  Yeah, I know lots of people don't think a 6th grader should wear any makeup, but that is an old-fashioned thing that reminds me of an old granny or something.  Now that the "goth" and "punk" styles have gotten somewhat mainstream, younger people can wear eye makeup and not look trashy.  Just make sure that she doesn't go overboard with it.

Answer 22

6th grader? hmmm...a little bit of eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss is just enough.
