I see no problem with some chapstick or nail polish but I wouldn't introduce my 5-6 year old to real make-up like foundation, mascara, etc, no. I do think that teaching very young girls that they need makeup to be beautiful is hurting the self image of our children. I grew up primarily in my fathers care and as he didn't wear makeup naturally, I grew up feeling it was unnecessary, I'm thankful for that now watching friends freak out if they don't have time to put on makeup and spend hundreds of dollars buying it.
I may not feel I am the most stunning creature on earth, but I'm happy with who I am and feel everyone is attractive to someone in their natural state. Rambly answer ended, I would be more concerned about teaching my daughter when and if I have one that who you are matters more than what you wear.
JonBenet Ramsey's story should have taught us that sexualizing children -- people who have not yet reached puberty -- is a fatal mistake. Her parents not only let her play with makeup, they dressed her up in adult clothes with adult high heels and allowed her picture to be published all over the world. They turned her into a sex symbol.
People thought it was cute until JonBenet was murdered. Is this picture cute to you? It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen, on several levels.
The girl is dead, or I would not even post this here to tempt some pervert. She was 6.

Levkoff is not rejected the idea of tween makeup, she just wants young teenagers to have fun with it and not treat it like a necessity. "It's really about playing within your home and not feeling like you have to put on a face for everything else," she said.
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.
The new tween makeup line from Walmart, geo-girl, aims to speak the language of technologically savvy youngsters. So if you're not a texting tween, the products in Walmart's new line of geo-girl makeup might need some translating. There's S.W.A.K or sealed with a kiss lip treatment.
