Make-up for young children… am I over-reacting?
My 4 year old daughter attends a ballet class for 1/2 an hour, once a week. I don’t take her because I want her to be a ballerina when she grows up, or because I want her to learn discipline. I take her because it’s fun and social and a good source of exercise.
The class instuctor has decided to put forth the class for some sort of exam. I’m not sure I agree with exams of any sort for 4 year olds, but if she wants to do it (and she does), I let her. Since setting the date for the exam, the instructor has become far more strict and seemingly a little irate with the children. Again, my daughter doesn’t complain and still enjoys the class, so I allow it.
Yesterday, a note was on the wall about the upcoming exam – a timetable and a list of what they should wear (incidentally, the costume for their classes already costs around ?30, and they grow out of them in 6 months), which isn’t much more than the usual class costume. One item though – he wants the girls to wear make up (green or blue eyeshadow and a light lipstick). I didn’t get a chance to speak to him, he had another class immediately after and the studio is tiny and busy, so trying to get a 4 year old dressed, and control my 16 month old through the chaos makes any conversation just about impossible. I remarked to the other mothers that I wil remove my daughter from the class before I put make up on her. One other agreed, the rest mumbled along the lines of, ‘we’ll do it but we don’t like it’. Next week, I’ll have to arrive early to speak to him about it.
Am I being a prude of sorts? I just don’t see why a 4 year old should ever wear make up (the exam will not be on a stage with strong lighting), and why it should be considered necessary for her to complete the exam. I have let her play about with some light, sensitive make up at home, but never out the house. I don’t even own blue or green eyeshadow, and as my daughter has very sensitive skin on her face (and has had allergic reactions to soap and spf products in the past), I have no intention of buying any.
What are your thoughts on children and make up?
It’s not stage make up or he would have requested stage make up. And I wouldn’t put any make up on a 2 day old baby.
I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but it might be worth noting that the ballet instructor is very clearly gay (I have seen him around town with his boyfriend, he doesn’t flaunt it around the children).
Again, she is not on stage. It is not a public performance either.
I would be asking why does this man want to see little girls in makeup? Seriously. Little girls do not need makeup, it sends the wrong idea!! Playing makeup is one thing!! Stand up for what you believe is right, I wouldn’t be putting makeup on my four year old to dance around a grown man..just saying

it’s stage make up. Not actual make up to look good. I wouldn’t mind if a 2 day old baby wore this kind of make up.

I agree that children should not be wearing makeup, take her to the exam without the makeup.

I think the ballet instructor is taking it way too seriously for four year old children. You are the mother and carer of your child so the decision is rightfully all yours. If you don’t like it then so be it that way. She is your daughter so you have that right.
