Blue Ivy Carter Wearing Makeup Shouldn’t Cause This Much Controversy

Blue Ivy Carter at the premiere of 'Mufasa'.

On Dec. 9, Beyoncé attended the premiere of ‘Mufasa,’ alongside a special guest—her daughter Blue Ivy Carter. The duo stars in the film as mother and daughter, so it likely comes as no surprise that they wore coordinated looks for the premiere. Beyoncé chose a strapless Balmain dress with a deep neckline and bustier cups, while Blue Ivy wore a form-fitting gold gown that was custom-designed by Christian Siriano. Some social media users praised the teen’s look, mentioning that she looked like a "princess" and a "spitting image of her mother."

That being said, over on X, formerly known as Twitter, some people are debating whether Blue Ivy wearing makeup was appropriate for someone her age. “Blue Ivy wearing that dress and makeup at age 12 . . . Do her stylist or her mom’s stylist know this?” one person wrote. “God forgive me but Blue Ivy is too young for this makeup and outfit,” said another. The makeup look in question? A soft smoky eye, a hint of blush, half lashes, and a glossy-tinted lip color, courtesy of makeup artist Rokael Lizama.
