HOW YOUNG IS TOO YOUNG FOR MAKEUP?

Most kids find themselves wanting
to use makeup because they have seen someone else use it or due to peer pressure.
It's vital that parents do not shut down immediately & forbid it as kids will always find ways around harsh rules. Its better to understand what products & applications are best for younger kids & aid them through it rather than forbidding it & coming up against dire consequences. There are different forms of makeup that are alright for kids to use because using products that are meant for adults is never the best option. there are tons of brands out there that offer kid friendly products to help ease any kid through the early stages of makeup.
             Perhaps the first product that is easier & simple to let a kid use is something like a tinted lip balm or lip gloss. Its not as harsh as say a blue eyeshadow but it still gives the feeling of being a bit more grown up without going overboard. If you are uncomfortable with your child wearing makeup in public, let them play with it at home & get the desire out of their system. If you do let them use makeup, avoid giving them colours that are too intense, try giving them palettes of whites and pastels to play with & experiment with rather than bright blues & blacks.
