Those cute toes in the picture belong to my eight-year-old. She chose a colour gradient to drive me mad. Why use one colour when I can get mummy to open five different bottles?!?
I’ve noticed on Facebook and Instagram that several friends have allowed their children to be cosmetically creative during this time. I’ve seen:
- Rocking green hair;
- Pink hair streaks to match Easter crafts fun;
- Makeup glamour … without adult assistance;
- And plenty of dress-up.
Why not play? Maybe work doesn’t allow you to have violet hair streaks. Why not play with a washout colour? You know your child loves your makeup drawer. Why not let them play? Makeup has an expiry date and you’re most likely not wearing it at the moment.
Just grab the hair colour while you can; according to CNN, this is the next shortage.
Have fun playing with your look. And remember … don’t cut your own hair!
