Our L’il Miss loves playing ‘make up’ on the weekends. She’s 7y. I bought her this mirror for her birthday (double checked with my daughter who said ‘she’ll love that mum!’. Pale pink lipstick, moisturiser on cheeks, tiny sweep of powder eyeshadow. Disney perfume that a friend bought her for her birthday. Cute. And she even enjoys the removal session too - cotton pads with Nivea make up remover in front of said mirror!

Our granddaughters were experimenting with makeup at home much earlier than 12. It meant dreadful mistakes were avoided as they got older. I’m assuming her parents know midnightblue. Ours loved messing about with eye shadow and learned less is more! They also loved and love nail polish which much to my amazement was and is allowed at school, although of course rules will vary. I’m sure your granddaughter will love anything you give her.

Where do her parents stand on this?

Let them make this decision

My Dgd has her 12th birthday soon and wants to have some makeup to ‘play with’ at home.

I have got her a clear mascara, a tinted lip salve, a blusher and some face wash and moisturiser recommended for a tween.

She would like a skin tint as well. I stress she will only be trying it at home, and I’m equivocal about it.

Nevertheless, can anyone suggest anything suitable? I may as well get her something she wants for her birthday.
