I seen this episode too. I started wearing make-up when i was 11-12 but not as heavy as that! I think its okay for girls that age to wear make-up but as long as it's not too heavy like Kylie's!

I started when I was 13. Back then Cover Girl had these nice shadow/blush/mascara kits. My mom bought me one in a very neutral brown pallette. I think that was a good way to start wearing make-up and a good age. I mean, my mom wasn't allowed until she was out of the house...

I can not comment on her since she is 11 and I have different views on kids then some people do, but I have to disagree with the smokey eyes and red lipstick. I really like this look and I think she looks great. I can not believe she is 11, but that is another story. But I think the look looks sexy.

The look she has on her face is way too grown up.

That attracts the wrong attention for a girl her age.

Something more subtle and/or neutral would have been better.

They are naturally beautiful, at 13 maybe lipgloss and some mascara.

I think both are right, the level of resposibility entrusted to a child should depend on the maturity level of the child, in this cas I think Dad (& Mom) where trying to let her have a little freedom, and the daughter took advantage. On the same token, what kind of father would Bruce be if he wasn't upset at this extreme push of the envelope by Kylie.

wow I can't believe she is 11! wtf??
I just asked my fiance how old he thought she was and he said 16 so yeah -
"The look she has on her face is way too grown up. That attracts the wrong attention for a girl her age."
I totally agree

as for what age is appropriate?... I think 13ish is good. Subtle light makeup though - no red lip/smokey eye combo

agree with all of you - too much = too much... YET - it is taste... So many magazines have girls modelling - they are maybe 13 / 14 but are made up like women...
we have a saying in German: Each to their own... So what can i say - i was 14 with make up and it looked too much, too i very rarely put make-up on - yet a red lipstick - my opinion is that it is an invitation and not appropriate for a girl... because some men do not know WHEN TO STOP...

Being EXTREMELY fair, I started wearing base very young because both of my grandmothers had skin cancer. This was back when the only sunscreens were so thick it was like trying to rub white glue into your skin---and they of course make me break out.

I stuck to base and blush from age 10 until 14 when I was allowed to add clear lip gloss and mascara. My father was a minister at the time PLUS being from the south and very conservative, he was uncomfortable with any make-up. I will not tell the blue eyeshadow story---I will simply say it was ugly.

My younger sisters both had medium completions, got gorgeous tans every year, and I felt like the plain and fair ugly duckling. Years later, I was picked by a crowd to be the youngest of us three and that was the payoff from wearing makeup for most of my life.

My daughter (also fair) was there when this crowd declared me the most youthful and took my advice about wearing something SPF always. We have some rules and now that she is 16 and going to college with me, I see her wanting to try new things. I remember feeling that way. I think it is okay to allow experimentation. Right now she has gross blue streaks through her previously gorgeous auburn hair, but I take a big breathe because I know this will pass.

One thing I did when she was 8 which I think made a BIG impact on my daughter, was to pull out my high school year book and ask her to point out faces she felt were beautiful and those she felt were freaky weird. I explained that even the weird ones were beautiful when you removed the weird stuff...then I proved it by pulling out prior yearbooks so she could see the "before" pics.

I reinforced the idea that somethings are "permanent" like tattoos and piercings... difficult to undo that weirdness later. She saw my nephew go through that stage..tattoos and piercings...and then the removal and surgical repairs.

Every summer has been "try-on" new looks time. It lets all my kids try on new looks, tire of them and move on. I think parents freak when kids "try on" looks we are uncomfortable with. I am praying my son will quickly outlive this look I call "buttloaf" hiney hanging out his pants. If HE starts wear make-up...I may need Xanax.
