As parents, we always tell our kids how amazing they look without makeup, but with Halloween coming up, you won’t be able to stop them from creating vibrant makeup looks. This is primarily because your kids are being exposed to visual transformation videos online or the video that promotes such Halloween looks. Honestly, a parent’s one compliment will not stop them from applying makeup, especially not on Halloween when everyone is using vibrant colors to create the looks that capture the attention.

So, if your kids want to go ahead, just let them be and consider the tips mentioned in this article to ensure their skin has a gentle experience. In the article below, we have mentioned a variety of ways that will ensure a more secure makeup experience for your kids.

Understanding The Right Way Of Wearing Makeup For Kids

When it comes down to makeup, there is no rule of thumb or right or wrong age to start applying makeup. This is because it generally depends on the overall family perspective and what’s accepted in the surrounding community. So, ensuring that you are okay with these norms will help make the right decisions. Truth be told, if your kid is involved in cheering competitions and dance marathons, they are highly likely to wish for the makeup-oriented Halloween looks because makeup is more common in such circles.

In addition to this, it’s important to ask your kids the real reason they are interested in makeup and encourage them to have fun. Also, tell your kids that you are giving them permission to use makeup on Halloween but you still have the right to tell when it’s too much for them. Having said that, irrespective of what you tell your kids about applying makeup on Halloween, there are a few tips that will ensure your baby’s young and developing skin is taken care of. The tips are mentioned below;

High-Quality Products

First of all, it’s important to purchase high-quality makeup products and they must be safe. Currently, the market is loaded with items with organic and natural labels but they are still not regulated according to the expectations and standards of the parents. It’s always better to purchase products with limited ingredients and don’t purchase one if there are any harmful ingredients. There are various websites online that help you choose makeup products based on the safety rating.

Start With Less

If your kid has never worn makeup and they are crying for it on Halloween, there are high chances that instant exposure to these products will harm their skin. For this reason, it’s important to ease them into wearing makeup. For instance, you cannot quickly dive into thick eyeliner and heavy eyeliner, but rather, start with the lip gloss and then move to the powders.

Be Conscious About Irritation

The reactions from cosmetics and makeup products can be as subtle as redness and irritation or as severe as swelling and hives. In the majority of cases, these symptoms show up quickly, and if your kid is suffering from them, remove the makeup instantly and don’t use it. In case the symptoms are complicated, consult with the doctor right away because allergic reactions on the face can also spread to the airways and result in wheezing and vomiting. So, be conscious of the irritation.

A Skincare Routine

Skincare routine is as important for kids as it is for adults. For this reason, if your kid is going to apply makeup on Halloween, simple or a full-blown look, they need to do the following and you must teach them;

• Wash the face with a mild soap or cleanser
• Don’t use exfoliating agents and antibacterial soaps on the skin as they can lead to acne and damage the baby skin
• Remove makeup before hitting the bed
• Don’t share the makeup products as it increases the chances of infections and contamination

To summarize, it can be challenging for parents to allow their kids to wear makeup, especially when they know the potential side effects. However, supporting them and purchasing them kid-friendly makeup products will ensure they are ready for Halloween and don’t have to hide anything from you!
