the make up is applied well, I don't think she did it herself, and I don't think another 11year did it either.

I don't agree. Young girls spend hours, literally, practicing applying makeup, there's no reason to believe she isn't capable of doing a good job of it herself. The only real talent involved is not being too heavy handed with the product.

I barely see make-up in that picture and yeah, my 12 y/o plays with it and I've totally taught her subtle (unlike my mom who let me put bright blue glitter on my hazel green eyes). If you're going to let them play with the stuff, you might as well teach them to use it correctly (even if you don't let them go out in public with it on).

Anyway, I don't think it's odd to be playing with makeup and taking pictures of yourself at that age wearing it (in this age of social media). Normal, normal. I don't think that means she was more sexualized than typical. That's about the age when lots of girls start playing with make-up.
