What Alex said.

Just checked with Steph and the management directive in our household is going to be "No makeup at all until thirteen. Red lipstick is then okay, but only if it matches tone and shading." So, I guess that means I should have answered "Yes" on the poll.

Thank Zeus I'm a guy. I can't imagine how much more difficult my youth would have been if I'd had to add makeup, hairstyling, and so on to my list of teen worries. Huzzah to all you ladies for managing it all! :D

Another reason to say "no." It is developmentally important for every girl to spend the first couple years of her makeup wearing life doing so behind the backs of her parent.

If she's not lying about that all she'll have left to sneak around on is sex, drugs, and small engine repair.

What a horribly inappropriate thing to say about a 10-year-old!

I hope you're ashamed of yourself.

Our daughter was not allowed to wear make up (other than playing dress up) until she was 14. Everyone was fine with that (and then the make up was sparingly in good taste). 10 years old is way too young. Lip gloss is ok, but color is too much. She can be well groomed, but not made up at that age. Find little things she can do to feel older (but not look older)as far as grooming. And explain to her that trying to look much older with make up sends the wrong message to older boys. That's my advice.

Susan and I vote no on the 10-year-old daughter. The jury is still out on the dog wearing lipstick

Imho, 10 is a little early for every day make-up. Theatre, Halloween... yeah, it's okay but not for every day...

I don't know. Which color red? I would think a blue-red would look great on Rose but an orange-red would be hideous.
