What Is An Appropriate Age To Start Using Makeup?
Makeup has taken centre stage this week. After Katie Price has been criticised for allowing her daughter to have a professional makeover at the age of 13. The former glamour model posted snaps and video on Instagram of herself and Princess (daughter’s name) enjoying some fun bonding time together in matching full makeup. Many fans aired their concern about Princess having a makeover at her age.
Is 13 to young to be applying full make up? Are age limits for young girls wearing make up archaic? Does changing one’s image at such a young age have a negative effect?
Some criticisms directed at the story focused on being beautiful enough without music.
Laura Erskine is a parenting expert with BabyDoc Club and she chatted with Andrea this morning about the dangers of focusing on image too much.
