duke, young girls when they start wearing make-up, it's horrific!! I used to fight with krystal about the amount of black eyeliner she'd wear around her eyes then gave up on it. i figured she'll learn on her own. now that she's 17, she sometimes wears no make-up but when she does wear it now, it's nice. finally!!
I started allowing kassandra to wear a little eyeshadow and lipstick when she was 12 (last year). now she's wearing mascara, eyeshadow and that darn black eyeliner around her eyes. the difference between her and krystal is that i don't have to fight with kassandra. i jsut look at her and say "ummm, you look like a racoon. eyes are too dark. take some of that off" and she does without arguing so that's a blessing.
thing is these young girls are trying to look like the pop stars with their make-up. they don't seem to understand that these pop stars wear make-up like that for the stage, not in real life.
the messages these pop stars give to our young teen daughters are rediculous sometimes.
