[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take her to the drug store for the basics- concealer, foundation, mascara, eyeliner, lip gloss/lipstick/lip stain/chapstick. My daughters like the concealer, eyeshadow, foundation, and lip oils/ stains from Elf, the Wet and Wild eyeliner pencil, and the L’Oréal mascara. [b]Drug store brands are cheap but high quality. [/b]They are perfect for beginners. If she wants to go to Sephora, gift her a $25 gift card. She will only be able to get 1 or 2 things. It is important to show our kids that they can get just as good makeup at the drug store. Sephora can quickly become an addiction, I know girls that spend $100 a month on Sephora products. [/quote]

Haven’t found this to be the case at all. [/quote]

+1 I’ve never used drug store makeup in my life. [/quote]

I have, and I also use expensive makeup.  Drug store makeup is perfectly find for most purposes. Teens don’t need “the best” of everything.  This is setting them up for poor financial habits when they start their young adult life. Parents are raising kids that think they deserve all these high end products. Much smarter to start with less expensive products- they may like them just fine.  As they get older and make their own money they can start deciding what products, if any, they want to splurge on.
