Make Up Games and Your Mom


Why do moms like to interfere in make up games? They seem to have trouble picking out the best way to approach make up games with their teenage or preteen daughters and struggles over make up can be a challenge for the girls of the family to work though. Young girls will develop an interest in make up at some point. They will have time and most of them will have the money to buy the cosmetics they need to play make up games at home. Once they have mastered the art of the make up games at home, they will be ready to take their new look out into the world.

The best way I’ve seen to approach this is to not prevent the makeover and not necessarily help it along either in a big way. Make cosmetics available to young girls who want to play and teach your daughter how to use make up during these play sessions at home. As she grows older, the lessons learned before the doll fashion show will translate into her use as a teenager and then as an adult. By letting her buy her own make up and find her own personal look, you’ll be letting her make a statement about herself that is easy on both of you.
