Make-up in children: does it have to be?

Nail polish and lipstick, sometimes children look like little adults. Make-up with the little ones: let it be or must it be?

Just a make-up kit for the little ones has come out from a well-known children's brand. It's called "Fairy Makeover" and contains nail polish, rhinestones, rouge and lip gloss. The question that arises for me is: Do children need it? Most children like to play disguises, to be princesses for a day, and it's also a good idea to try Mama's old lipstick on yourself. In the course but also adult heeled shoes are tried on and fairy wings are slipped over. But how does it look in everyday life, do we need special children's make-up, so that even the little ones can paint their fingernails like mothers?

I once again saw a little girl in the supermarket with crackpink painted fingers, she wore tutu and seemed to be very happy. So as a child is everything allowed and only our unsuitable adult soul thinks directly back to the poor messed-up youth, who grows up too early? Or is it just a border crossing that just does not have to be. Something that makes a little girl look older than it really is?

Probably there is no right or wrong in this discussion, because every child is different and each mother is certainly different. For my part, I like to dress one of the most beautiful games ever, but I think it's enough to be a princess for a day or a few hours. Then with pleasure. As soon as the game is over, the make-up should be down - and the little ones should be a kid again. After all, this is the most beautiful state ever and unfortunately it is very transient.
