I feel that the kids should never be allowed to use makeup.The reasons we all are well aware of, but the kids are not. So it is our duty to make it sure that cosemetics are not to be used by kids.What to talk about cosemetic surgeries. You should be able to communicate to your child the side effects of all those cosmetic surgeries.I had to handle my son in a very tricky manner, when he felt that he has thick hair on his body.

                                  As for occasional fake nails or little makeup it is fine but it should not be a regular affair.

i think there's nothing wrong with a bit of pampering now and then, or a little bit of make up for special occasions if the girl is not *too* young- but 10 year olds wearing make up regularly and wanting waxes etc really is ridiculous. being so conscious of such things at such a young age will surely give them a negative self image?

children seem to grow up so quickly now, it's sad. i saw a documentary about this a while ago where a 9 year old regularly had tanning treatments, manicures and so on and was generally treated like a little doll so her parents could enter her into child beauty pageants. this is pretty sick in my opinion, although obviously a bit different from what you posted about, it's not right.

also like others have said wearing cosmetics so young will probably upset sensitive young skin and lead to blemishes
