Children mimic their parents. Little boys watch their fathers shave, little girls watch their mothers put on cosmetics. It is cute and fun to let them play along, but what is an appropriate age for girls to start wearing makeup? Do you ease them into it, starting with lip gloss only, or do you buy them a complete beauty kit from the start?
