I have a high regard for you Mike, and a low one for child beauty pageants. Nevertheless, you're confusing stage makeup with street makeup.
I think the whole little girl pageant culture is inappropriate.
"Stage Makeup" - that is makeup used so that faces don't wash out under stage lights can be done properly so that when a picture is taken someone doesn't look ... well "made up"...
In pageants it's very apparent that the goal is to make the little girls look like 20 somethings... it's a culture I just don't understand... why in the world make little ones look older than they are? It's sexualization far too young.
