[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have three daughters and one stepdaughter. We are in NYC, and at the start of sixth grade all have wanted lip balm (scented). Seventh or eighth grade is when eyeliner and mascara started.

They've all been into it to varying degrees. The swimmer wasn't into eye makeup except for going out at night with friends, for example. [b]The dancer, who wears makeup for recitals, was more into watching makeup tutorial accounts on social media and practicing. [/b][/quote]

This is a good point. My DD is also a dancer and has been interested in makeup since even before we let her wear it for recitals. But it's like... stage makeup. She wants to put it on and see how looks in photos or changes how her face looks in the mirror. She doesn't even want to wear it to school, where no one wears makeup, because that would be weird. I let her play around with my lipstick and blush at home sometimes and would get her own to play with at home. Different from buying her a makeup kit for daily use.

Also, the lip oil seems like a different thing. I started giving my DD lip moisturizing products when she was like 5 because, like me, she is prone to dry lips in winter. That's a standard stocking stuffer in our house, and I try to get the ones geared towards kid with fun scents and cute packaging because it's more fun. Like I'd definitely buy her something like this without even thinking about it: https://www.target.com/p/burt-39-s-bees-passionfruit-lip-oil-0-27-fl-oz/-/A-75561982

I know there are also tinted lip oils and if that's what she wants that's different, but is it really that different than like those Lip Smackers for girls, some of which do have a minimal tint? It's not lipstick and the main intention is keeping your lip skin in good condition.[/quote]
