[quote=Anonymous]Each kid is different (but you probably knew that :)) and what your tween might be interested is in the actual changing of color on eyes etc rather than making it an everyday thing. I let my oldest dd try on make-up etc at home, but she wasn't allowed to wear it out until she was in eighth grade. By that time she had gotten a lot of the fascination (ie sparkly purple eyeshadow to match hair chalk) out of her system. I'd hold off advising, or even asking, your rising ninth grader about make up. Starting high school provides a huge shift to kids regarding what they can and may want to wear. Give school a couple of weeks, and I imagine she'll want to try and experiment with new looks/style to emulate the older kids. SOme wear lots of make-up, some don't--the nice thing about high school is that its a chance to try on and quickly discard all sorts of personas until the teens finds their niche.[/quote]
