We recently heard a radio spot about the age that your daughter should be allowed to wear makeup. We don't have human kids. So, this won't likely be a concern for us. Coco, our yorkie daughter, has been known to jump on the vanity and "steal" our items. One of the items she seems to like is my Chanel mascara!
Anyhoo, I couldn't remember how old I was when I first started wearing makeup. I think maybe 16
or 17? I don't see anything wrong with a little girl (8 or 9) wearing a bit of clear, flavored lip gloss. How old were you when you started wearing makeup? What about your daughters? When will/did you let them?
I look back at old pictures of me wearing makeup and think "HOT MESS". I think if you are going to let your teenaged daughters wear makeup, you should let a professional makeup artist do it. They can give them tips and pointers on looking natural.
And please, PLEASE stop with the super big butterfly fake eyelashes. I think a few pieces to give fullness is okay. BUT I have seen some ladies wear them so heavy that they can't keep their eyelids up. That can't be comfortable.
Here some some photos of some famous or infamous people with and without makeup. Thoughts?
Courtney Cox - I like her both ways....
I love Pink.... a smile will do wonders for you!
Eva Mendes - Just gorgeous with or without
There are plenty of pictures on the web of celebrities who have been caught without makeup at bad times. I didn't want to showcase those. Only the ones where the stars don't look much different and sometimes better than without makeup.
Maybe one day I'll post my own with and without.
I personally love seeing celebrities without makeup...it makes them actually appear human. I think I was around 13 when I started wearing makeup, just some concealer under my eyes and a year or so later I started with mascara and gloss.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Kyla. They do seem more human without.
