Kim Kardashian Defends Decision to Let Daughter North Wear Red Lipstick
Kim Kardashian is once again faced with defending her parenting decisions on the internet after posting family photos that featured her five-year-old daughter, North West, wearing red lipstick.
The photos of the Kardashian-West crew were from the family's annual Christmas Eve party which, this year, featured snow machines and sledding. As with most things Kardashian, people online had a lot of opinions about why a little girl was wearing makeup at all. No stranger to mommy-shaming when it comes to her daughter's beauty choices (like straightening her hair), Kardashian was quick to let everyone know exactly where she stood about her daughter's look.
"A little too much! Makeup and posing! How old is she? And a lot of attitude," one commenter wrote about North. "Famous or not it’s odd for a 5 year old to be wearing lipstick and makeup. Nice family pics tho," said another.
Some Instagram commenters questioned why North wasn't wearing children's makeup. But as Glamour reported earlier this year, kids' makeup is not regulated and so it actually may be better to let your children wear the grown-up versions which must adhere to stricter guidelines.
But others were absolutely here for it. "North is serving looks! That girl is going to take over one day 👑," one commented. Another called North a "future beauty guru."
It turns out that prediction may be correct as Kardashian confirmed that not only did her daughter pick out that red lip all on her own, but that the shade will be coming soon to her KKW Beauty line. (That's certainly a new way to announced a product launch!)
As someone who spent her childhood playing in her mom's makeup, I say, let her have fun and get made up for a fun family party. And I must say, her taste is impeccable because that is a really good classic red and now I can't wait to see the rest of the collection. Hopefully, North will earn some royalties.
