Photo 1 of 2

Many parents freak out at the mere thought of allowing their child to wear makeup. But playing grown-up is a big part of a healthy childhood. Sometimes, this means playing dress-up with your parents’ clothing, and other times, it means trying on your mother’s lipstick and experimenting with some colorful eyeshadow.

Still, the concept of kids wearing makeup is still controversial.  Whether they’re toddlers or adolescents, a lot of people are wondering: is it okay to allow your child to explore cosmetics at a young age?

1. Makeup can improve their self-esteem

Based on these stats, 42% to 52% of teenagers in the US use beauty products as a means of boosting their confidence. Makeup can be a way for children to practice self-expression and feel more proud since it’s just another way of developing their personal identity from a young age. However, parents should teach their kids that makeup is only a way to enhance appearance and is another form of playtime rather than a way to measure self-worth.

2. Makeup for kids isn’t bad, but adult stereotypes are

Most adults call makeup for children inappropriate since it relates to the concept of attractiveness. Therefore, many believe we should protect their innocence. Expressing oneself through cosmetics isn’t inherently wrong, but society’s assumptions about them are. After all, it’s their body, and they should decide what they want to do with it.
