Best Starter Makeup Kits for Tween Girls

Most girls are going to want to wear makeup. It’s a reality that is hard to accept for some parents, but with so many makeup looks and tutorials on YouTube and Instagram, it’s hard to avoid. The best way to transition girls from no makeup to makeup is to start her off with a starter makeup kit.

I remember wanting to wear makeup at age 10, and I’m sure most women reading this also got into their moms or big sisters’ makeup drawer when they were a kid. If you’re a mom or dad of a tween girl, it’s time to start thinking about the day when they’re going to ask you to buy them their favorite makeup.

Best Makeup Kits for Pre-Teens

The good news is there are a lot of makeup options these days for pre-teens that are fresh-faced and hypoallergenic. Your tween doesn’t have to look like this version of Maddie when James Charles did her glam makeup.

There is also a lot of vegan, all-natural, and hypoallergenic kid-friendly makeup kits readily available (a lot more than when I was a tween). So if your daughter is wanting to try makeup, here are a few great brands and starter kits to choose from. Use your own best judgment when buying, of course. Every brand is different, everyone’s skin chemistry is different and every preference for color is going to be different.
