Momservation: <\/strong>The beauty of electric blue eyeliner and mascara is the eye of the 80\u2019s baby beholder.<\/h4>\n

\u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u263a<\/h4>\n

Turns out I do have a limit of what I will do for my kids.<\/h4>\n

My daughter had the first of two Homecomings she was invited to coming up.<\/h4>\n

I took her dress shopping.<\/h4>\n

I took her shoe shopping.<\/h4>\n

I took her to get her nails done.<\/h4>\n

But when she asked me to book her an appointment to get her make-up done I drew the line. It was something I wasn\u2019t willing to pay for.<\/h4>\n

\u201cWhy can\u2019t you do your own make-up?\u201d I asked remembering how I loved the challenge of taking my hair and make-up to the next level for formal dances.<\/h4>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really wear make-up. I don\u2019t know how to do it,\u201d my 14 year-old Freshman said.<\/h4>\n

\u201cI can show you how,\u201d I offered, excited for this milestone like a dad would be teaching his son how to shave.<\/h4>\n

\u201cNah. I didn\u2019t really like my make-up the last time you did it for me. You don\u2019t really know how to do the latest style.\u201d<\/h4>\n

Ouch. I thought our preliminary make-up lesson had gone well. I tried not to sound hurt. \u201cFine. Then have one of your girlfriends do it,\u201d I said remembering how I always got ready for dances in a group.<\/h4>\n

My daughter continued to protest. \u201cBut I don\u2019t really have any good make-up.\u201d<\/h4>\n

\u201cThen let\u2019s go buy some!\u201d I said excited again for the mother\/daughter bonding over the Homecoming pre-game.<\/h4>\n

I probably spent more money on the make-up then I would\u2019ve having her get her make-up done. But I rationalized it by saying she would get many uses out of it.<\/h4>\n

She got one. When we did a trial run the day before Homecoming, the new make-up brand the lady at Walgreens recommended for us, Rimmel, gave my daughter an allergic reaction. By the time we figured out what had inflamed her cheeks into an angry, itchy red rash our only option was to use my make-up.<\/h4>\n
\"She
She wanted this. Let’s just say I’m not a cosmetologist for a reason.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I didn\u2019t have the liquid eye-liner that my daughter in the 11th<\/sup> hour realized was what she needed for the look she wanted. So I went to my old \u201880\u2019s playbook and melted my eyeliner for the look.<\/h4>\n

It was a disaster. Totally flustered and upset with angry red cheeks and awkward clumps of black eyeliner weighing down her eyes, she took it all off and just went with some light eye shadow and mascara. Though I thought she still looked beautiful, it was not the start to her first formal dance I had envisioned.<\/h4>\n
\"We
We got this. I like mine better. But anything to make Baby Girl happy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When my daughter came home from the dance and reported on the good time she had, she had one request: \u201cMom, all the girls I talked to had their make-up done. Can I get mine done for my Homecoming?\u201d<\/h4>\n

I took only a moment to mentally erase my line in the sand. \u201cSure.\u201d<\/h4>\n
