  • Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter, Blue Ivy is already "quite the makeup artist," according to grandmother Tina Knowles-Lawson.

  • Lawson revealed to Entertainment Tonight the seven-year-old excels at eye makeup and can already do the perfect cat eye.

  • Blue Ivy is Beyoncé's oldest. The singer also has 2-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, with husband Jay-Z.


Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy is seven years old and has already been featured as a singer on her mom's The Lion King: The Gift album, appeared in the "Spirit" music video, and now she can add makeup artist to her ever-growing resume.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Blue Ivy's grandmother and Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson revealed she's helping her granddaughter embrace her makeup skills.

"I've bought Blue so many makeup kits, much to her dad's dismay," she said. "But it's just for playtime. We have fun and she's quite a makeup artist. She's amazing."

When asked what Blue is best at Lawson immediately said "eyes."

"She puts stone and does this fancy stuff. She can do a perfect cat eye. She's a little artist," she said.

Although we haven't seen Blue Ivy's makeup skills in effect for awhile, Beyoncé did give fans a sneak peak in 2016. The 37-year-old singer, songwriter, and actress posted a picture of her daughter putting liquid lipstick on with stones around her eyes. Keep in mind that Blue was just four at the time, so we're sure her already impressive skills have only improved.

While it's clear that Lawson loves to indulge her granddaughter's makeup skills, she did say she thinks young girls should wait until they're teenagers to embrace a full face of products.

"I think about 13, it's when I started letting my girls wear makeup," she said. "A little lip gloss, maybe a little blush and I always believed in mascara, that's so fun. But not any base and all that stuff, that's a little much."
