I just saw this picture of Cindy Crawford and her family walking the red carpet at the opening the new Spiderman musical and wanted to find out your thoughts. Cindy’s beautiful nine-year-old daughter Kaia can be seen with a full face of makeup in the photo (spitting image of the supermodel, no?)… but how young is too young?

Well, I myself am not using much make up yet(11 years old). Although, my parents let me paint my nails and wear a little blush and mascara – as long as I don’t over do it. So, IMO, her parents have the right to teach their daughter in their own manner.

A little bit of makeup is not a big deal specially when its for something important. I don’t believe there is an age it depends on the parents, it’s there choice and who are we to judge. I always played with makeup as a kid and loved watching people put it on. I was not allowed to wear anything but lip gloss to school until i was in middle school, and i thought that was far cause me mom still let me play at home so i didn’t mind. Little girls love makeup its fun to play with and put on there friends and there is nothing wrong with that. instead of yelling at them for it and banding it from them completely you should be teaching them and explaining to them how pretty they are, and build up their self esteem. They watch there moms and other girls wear makeup and they want to try it and why cant they as long as they no there is a place and a time for it. As for Cindy that was the red carpet and i’m sure her daughter wanted to feel special and why cant she, she looked good and very pretty not like a clown so what’s the big deal remember its her daughter and its not are choice but Cindy is a great mom i am sure and there is nothing wrong with letting your daughter feel pretty.This is being made into a bigger deal then what it is. And as for the comment about child predators they are out there no matter what and makeup and nail painting and putting a highlight in your daughters hair is not gonna attract them anymore to your child they are sick and they are gonna go after a child not matter what she has on her nails hair or skin and who are you Alexa to pass judgement on other people and say they are not protecting there kids thats just rude. Now i no why your comments got deleted. I Understand being concerned but you need to watch what you say.

I didn’t start wearing makeup regularly until I was 12 or 13 (I’m 16 now). However, I did used to take dance and I wore makeup for the recitals starting when I was 4 or 5. I’d say it’s ok for events, but it would be weird to see a 9 year old wearing makeup all the time.

hmm. very good question and some interesting responses. I agree that a soft, natural look is important for a young girl. Her look appears very natural. I imagine that this special occassion might be a fun time to teach your daughter how to apply such a look. Kids love to have fun and look like their Moms. Teaching them about age-appropriate-limitations should start when they are young.

I started wearing make-up at 7 for dance recitals. If I hadn’t, people in the 6th row and back would have thought I had no eyes and mouth. So, considering the occasion involved being exposed to bright lights and photography, then she isn’t too young. Day to day, however, would be inappropriate for a 9-year old.

It’s never too young when a child wants hot pink lipstick n purple eye shadow as the experiment, but that looks like a full on do??? WTF??? Way too young Mrs Cindy!

Personally, I would have preferred a simple lip gloss and a little blush for the paparazzi. While I do not prefer to see kids that age fully made up, I thought it was still tastefully done, unlike those kids on little girl pageants.

I posted comment, but apparently it was deleted by Loren!!! I thought you wanted honest opinions?!?! Looks like you just want people lying. Makeup fir kids is WRONG & attracts predators to your kids. Take responsibility for the safety of your children!!!

Girls should not be wearing makeup. It creates a more sexual appearance, & was crested fir adults. All those women out there dying your kids hair, painting their nails, & putting makeup on their young daughters are completely ignorant & negligent. It it the responsibility of parents to protect their kids from perverts.

BUT its easy to pass judgement. Ultimately it’s up to the parent and we should respect the way they choose to bring up their child.
Well-loved. Like or Dislike?

As long as the make up she is wearing is Motives than she is good to go.

I believe the choice should be made by the individual, based on the event, their maturity, their goals, and the maturity level they want to portray. Always guided by their parents because make up can be considered changes in appearance going beyond cosmetics. Cosmetic’s is used for self image and to enhance beauty and hide flaw. Its hard to find flaw in a baby face, so the short answer is when the baby face goes away and the adult face appears.

Granted she’s an adorable kid with a supermodel mom, she doesn’t need makeup, however it’s understated & enhances her natural beauty. That’s what makeup should do enhance what your mamma gave ya! It’s all good IMO!

To answer your question I don’t believe there’s an age limit to wearing makeup due to the occasion. I think it should be very natural and flowent though. Definitely not an everyday thing for any age in my opinion.
