Just out of curiosity, why not? If a child feels better with some makeup, I don’t see the harm. My SIL had tons of freckles and was very self conscious as a teen. She hated her freckles. If makeup can give her some peace of mind, why not?
Op, I don’t have many suggestions. My DD is 13 and doesn’t care. She wears makeup for dance productions and that’s it. When I was her age, I wore quite a bit- mascara, eye shadow, face powder, lipgloss, etc. I would suggest taking her to a makeup counter to learn about stuff (not sure if this is possible now with COVID). If she really wants a base foundation, she could start with a pressed powder. A liquid base might feel sticky at that age.
