[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 455070, member: 6546"] Ugh! The makeup games... My difficult child is definitely the "raccoon" variety. I have never seen anyone go through eyeliner pencils the way she does. She wears them down to little nubs in a matter of weeks because she applies it so thick and heavy every day. The makeup issue is, in my humble opinion, just a symptom of the larger issue of learning to be comfortable in one's own skin. And let's face it, that awful, gawky, acne stage is pretty hard to look at in the mirror every day. And no one wants to still look like a little kid by the time they reach high school - and yet, they still don't look nearly as adult and sophisticated as all the stars of those "teen" shows and movies {[I]Course, no one ever tells you that the stars of those teen shows are well into their 20s!}....[/I]so girls reach for the make-up and the questionable clothing in an attempt to cover up the "little kid" parts of them that are still showing through.
