    We fully acknowledge to leaving the house fresh-faced and then secretly swiping on blusher and lippy in the toilet before school. But nosotros 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 always are starting to wearable makeup at age eleven, which is three years younger than it was ten years ago. And they're not talking about just playing dress-up with their mum'southward mascara. They're talking about 11-year-olds actually wearing makeup.

    According to the survery, 38 percentage of women remember immature girls are using cosmetics because they want to experience more grown upward. And 89 percent of women would adopt young girls to wait until they're 14 to utilise foundation, 13-and-a-half to use middle makeup and 12-and-a-half to use lipgloss.

    So how young is too young? The issue is certainly controversial – and it's one that ever gets people talking. Take, for example, thirteen-year-old model Thylane Loubry Blondeau, who appears on the April cover of French magazine Jalouse.
