[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 11yo is pining for lip gloss (she’ll get some in her stocking). I think that’s about it. I can barely get her to brush her hair and wash her face, so I expect that she will forget about or lose the lip gloss within a week. [/quote] This was my DD at 11. When she started 6th grade, she became more interested in cosmetics generally and I used that opportunity to also get her into a healthy skincare routine (literally just washing her face in the morning and before bed). She got super into cosplay in 6th grade and now in 7th grade, if she is dressing up, she does her makeup to match whatever the cosplay is. Otherwise, she's not wearing a face of makeup. I would say it's developmentally normal for girls this age to be interested and experiment. It is good parenting to help them do that in a way that is safe and appropriate vs. just sending them to Sephora and saying "Go nuts!"[/quote]
