Kids makeup advice

My daughter has asked for makeup for Christmas. She's only 7, but has seen a box full of makeup in the Smyths catalogue. I'm happy for her to have a little, but I'm looking for some recommendations for a decent brand (not too expensive) that will be gentler on her skin than whatever is in those awful play makeup sets. They always smell so weird like they're full of chemicals and they never blend properly so she looks like a clown, looking at you Claires Accessories and your awful Feozen makeup
TIA

Avoid kids makeup definitely. Revolution was a decent brand years ago not sure if it still is. My daughter is nearly 7 and only plays with makeup occasionally and always before bath time 🤣. Boots brand Natural collection? I think it's called is pretty good. Affordable and decent quality. Sensitive skin makeup remover is good too, the water stuff (forgot it's name). There's another brand sold at boots and super drug called collection that's pretty affordable and good quality

Thanks @ItsameLuigi I was thinking of Natural collection but wasn't sure it still existed! And yes to the remover too. My daughter always just scrubs it off with half a roll of toilet paper before I can get to her 🙃
