I come from a heavily sister dominant family.....4 sisters, 1 brother.
We were allowed to wear face makeup around 14 or up. But the eye makeup thing was when we started to earn our own money in late teens.
REally, the cost factor kept us at bay: My parents just couldn't afford it. The focus was shifted to us learning how to sew...so we could be fashionable like our friends.
So in the interim, we experiemented more with nail polish..which was longer lasting anyway and lipstick.
Roxy: Does she wear earrings? Maybe focus on that....
I would agree that every girl needs to experiment to figure out her womanly identity. If you met anyone myself or sisters ..now, none of us wear much make-up. We never really had super big interest.
However we read Seventeen, Glamour, ..etc. borrowed from library. As well as pile of other books we wanted to read of which alot was adult fiction.
