Children and make up

My 6 year old would like “make up” for Christmas.

Looking at children’s make up it’s all a bit… Pat Butcher. Would I be unreasonable to buy her some adult makeup, just a neutral shimmer powder, a sparkly lip gloss and a neutral/sparkly eye shadow pallet, essentially just neutral shimmery things.

Nothing fancy, just some budget stuff, but I’m loathe to find her plastered in neon pink and blue when we need to leave the house!

For context she has been obsessed with make up since she was tiny (I do wear it but I’m a dyed in the wool Tomboy so it’s not like I spend all day doing my hair/make up/nails etc)

DD (just turned 4) wants some make up-I’m getting her some of the garish stuff for Christmas (just a bit). Definitely want it to look more face paint like than natural.

I rarely wear any but she absolutely loves having a go with my stuff when I do. She particularly likes painting her nails so I’m getting the peel off stuff.

It won’t be worn outside home.

I had tinkerbelle from Avon as a kid and loved the dolls head thing I had that you could make up too.
