In response to Tweens Wearing Makeup posted by oliverid5:
My daughter is 9 1/2 and the only time she has worn make-up is on stage at her dance recital. Without make-up she would look washed out under the stage lights. For other occassions, she wears a smile and friendly attitude. She has a quiet confidence and has never asked to wear make-up, not even lipgloss.
I might be 'behind' the times because I did not even consider her to be a tween until she turned 10. Her best friends don't wear make-up, either. She doesn't have to deal with peer pressure on this issue and doesn't frequently watch television sitcoms.
