Levkoff said that the decision is up to the parents and that it is acceptable to tell your young daughters no. "Parents should be talking about makeup and parents are entitled to be parents and if your daughters want to wear makeup you can say no," Levkoff said. "We don't just have to befriend our kids, but we also have to explain why.
