Blue Ivy Carter has done more than just go on tour with Beyoncé and dance for stadiums of fans this summer. The talented 11-year-old has also continued to build her makeup skills, which her grandmother and Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, showed off in a recent Instagram video.

In the video, Tina is wearing red lipstick and dramatic lashes, and she speaks into a mirror, saying, “Hi! I’m here with the makeup guru, the makeup extraordinary Miss Blue Ivy Carter, and she just did my makeup. She’s been doing my makeup for years. And I really like it. I just don’t know about—I don’t know if you can see it, but I’ve got little glittery stuff at the top. And I told her I might just be a tad too old for glitter at the top of my eyes, but what do y’all think?”

Blue Ivy is off-screen in the clip but verbally objects—giving an authoritative “no”—when her grandmother suggests she’s too old for the glittery eyeshadow.

In her caption for the video, Tina also praised Blue Ivy for being a renaissance child. “Blue IV Carter , never ceases to amaze me she can draw , she can paint , she can do makeup , she can play the piano and the list goes on !” Knowles wrote. “She reminds me so much of my multi talented younger babygirl! @solangeknowles who could do well just about anything she put her mind to ! But I love her makeup it is so amazing!!!”
