[QUOTE="ksm, post: 455057, member: 12511"] Thanks for the advice and understanding. I have tried to get her to compromise - which is not a skill she has - would rather just argue about why she should be able to wear what she wants, etc... then gets mad because we didn't compliment her on how pretty she was in all her "glory"! Tried to explain that we always think she is pretty - and that extra makeup does not make her prettier. When she went in to 7th grade, I bought her a mineral powder foundation,, a light blush, and two lip glosses - a pinkish and peach colored. All very natural and not bad for skin. Even then, she had blush from the side of her nose to her hairline! I have told her several times on how to apply blush... and maybe that has got better. I have dark hair and darker skin, so when she raids my stuff, she is using dark mascara. I have tried to tell her that I would buy her some brown for her - but as you all know - black is IN. I was hoping to wait for all the eye junk til high school - which is next year. I tried to get her to compromise and wear a little mascara... not keep putting more and more on. As I type, she is up and getting ready for school... I am almost afraid to go look. If I say anything she will start crying and yelling that all we do is criticize her and never tell her how pretty she is. Well, time to get off the computer and have a look... husband just told me she is wearing her short shorts. Please God, give me patience! KSM [/QUOTE]
