How Young is Too Young For Makeup?


A friend of mine told me her daughter is asking about makeup and wanting to wear it.  Her daughter, being 8 years old, is too young to doll herself up.  She asked me if there is any kind of compromise in regards to wearing makeup?

 I remember wanting to wear make up myself around that age, I didn't start until I was 10.  My mom was often hesitant about wanting to let me wear makeup as well and couldn't understand why I wanted to.  For kids in my generation we always watched our moms do their makeup and we often see something of a transformation both in appearance and behavior.  So tell me, what little girl wouldn't want to be like their moms, especially when they are at their most confident?  Of course, I can definitely see the point a mom would want to make, that you are beautiful without it and to embrace your natural beauty!

So what did I wear at 10 years old?  Clear mascara and lip gloss!



Covergirl Clear Mascara

This was a great way to make me feel I was getting dolled up with out looking way older then I needed to at 10.

It enhanced my natural eyelashes without all the goopy black stuff I live for today!

Covergirl isn't the only brand to carry clear mascara, this is just the brand I used.






 Any Lipgloss will do but I used a picture of Lip Smackers because they have such a wide variety to choose from, including sparkly ones!

Again, this product works to enhance their natural beauty but still allows her to apply her own make up!











The most important thing you can teach your daughters is proper face washing and personal care!  The healthier her skin is, the less make up she will want to wear! We hope ;)

Take care!
