I am sorry, but a 7 year old does not need to wear makeup, period.
Worst of all, she is determined to do this by herself. She will not let me, BM, or anyone who knows how to apply makeup help her. So one of 2 things happens. She either a) Looks like a rodeo clown or b) Looks like a 2 dollar hooker.
Yesterday when we picked her up she had on orange lipstick, blue eyeshadow, and her blush was way too much and not applied right. She looked horrible. We made her wash it off as soon as we got home.
It's also the fact that DH and I both feel she is too young to be wearing makeup daily. If BM allows it whatever, she can be seen with the rodeo clown, but we aren't allowing it.
SD is upset but we don't care. She doesn't even need makeup. She is fine the way she is.
We aren't letting SD wear makeup on our time

Yeah... 7 is way too young IMO. My almost 11 year old wants to wear it since she wears it for theater productions ( every time I turn around she has our theater makeup out and is practicing.). That is a hard nope. I just told our 13 year old she could wear it since she knows how to apply it due to theater, but she said no. Theater is enough in her opinion.
Our rule ( minus theater obviously) is not until they are teens and know how to do it properly.

She’s 7. It’s for fun. Get the stick out of your ass.
My girls aren't allowed to wear any kind of makeup until they are around 15 to 16 and then only for special occasions.
And by make up I mean a sheer lip gloss and a light coating of mascara. They can look like clowns when they are adults and not living at home
