'I allow my children to play with my makeup. I’ve talked with my kids about the incorrect perception that makeup is a requirement for going out, that it’s only for girls, and is designed to make yourself prettier, or cover up parts of yourself.' | CBCKids

Feb 26, 2019

We sit in companionable silence while I apply a subtle amount of makeup for my night out with some girlfriends, and she cakes on the blush until it achieves the exact effect she’s looking for. I’ve explained to my kids that applying colour to their faces is similar to applying colour to a piece of paper. They create their own art, and I don’t correct them, always delighted with their end result. For us, makeup is a game we play, like dressing up in costumes, or crafting at the kitchen table. We typically keep our makeup on for a short period, and we are careful and respectful with each compact, so that we can return again and again to play with them.

Kids Most women hide behind it and look hideous without - women should be themselves too much fake crap these days hair nails lashes etc

Kids Boys can do that too nowadays
