To let my 2 year old DD wear make up every day?

[BritneysChaps]

My 2yo DD wears make-up. And instead of being horrified, I think it makes her look absolutely fab. She's my only child has always been a real girlie girl.

I split with her dad when she was 1, so it has always just been the two of us. It's a really great way to bond.

She loves it all and has had so much practice that she can do everything herself - apart from eyelash curlers and mascara lol. I love seeing her all dressed up - I spend a fortune on her outfits and make-up just really finishes off the look.

Anyway the reason I'm posting is we were at a playgroup and all of the other mums were whispering about us. I confronted them and one told me it was disgusting and that I was sexualising her - I mean really why would wearing make up make her more likely to be abused?

I reckon they are just jealous that my DD looks so pretty. I don't see what the problem is and think other people should mind their own business.

She sounds like a real sweetie. I hope you only use organic stuff though- not cheap crap. Afterall, you might have to borrow her lippy!

are you katie price by any chance?

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

That sounds lovely and I don't think YABU. My dd is a real tomboy, i'd love her to wear a dress and a bit of slap, but she is really reluctant. Do you have any advise?

oh another one!!!

[SerenityNowakaBleh]

I think they just sound jealous.

Another

pathetic

[BritneysChaps]

Just try her with it Kreecher. I took my DD shopping and told her she could choose anything she wanted. She chose from the Rimmel counter so obviously she's trendy as well as gorgeous.

I feel so sorry for you.

[BritneysChaps]

Do you think fake lashes would be too ott she's been nagging me for them for ages. You can get some really cool 'Girls Aloud' ones too.

[porcamiseria]

Rimmel is trendy? your DD has poor taste.....

Mine refuses anything but Chanel, maybe a bit of MAC

we go mad in duty free!

[noddyholder]

A little girl can never be too pretty By teaching her all this now you are putting her at a great advantage as she gets older she will be well ahead of her contemporaries Well done!

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

I can't get rimmel here, our cheapest brand would probably be Estee Lauder all though I worry the colours are a bit old for her.
The last time we went shopping, I tried to steer her toward the lovely dresses, living in Switzerland I have some romantic Heidi vision. She chose salopettes and a pair of UGGS.

[BritneysChaps]

I got my DD some proper UGGS for christmas - she was well pleased. She's growing out of them already which is a bloody pain.

[BritneysChaps]

But yeah I agree Estee Lauder is for old fogies lol

[GypsyMoth]

left it a bit late at 2 for make up tho...havent you!

[Earthstar]

It will be handy if you can get her to do your make up too when you are too "tired".

[BritneysChaps]

She started about 18 months old. I'm so glad you lot agree with me.

If you're dressed in designer gear you don't want to look like a scrubber do you?

[meltedchoc]

is that bruce the trucker again? ... how do you cope with removing make-up ? surely it gets stuck in your beard ?

[BritneysChaps]

Not facials - her skin is too young for it. But we will can't wait!

We do go to the nail bar together - the lady there loves us.

[BritneysChaps]

What do you mean by trucker?
