A mommy blogger who wrote about her child's new fascination with adult cosmetics has ignited an online debate over how young is too young for girls to become interested in beauty.
Lindsay Cross wrote on the website Mommyish.com about how her 4-year-old daughter Brenna's interest in cosmetics came about after the young girl watched her apply make-up before attending events. When she shared how applying cosmetics soon became a special bonding routine between mother and daughter, she didn't anticipate the intense reaction from the online community and beyond.
