Hosting a makeup party can be lots of fun.
Host a makeup party for your little princess and her friends. Makeup parties are a fun, inexpensive way to celebrate birthdays and sleepovers. Girls love makeup, dressing up and parties, so why not combine the three? Once all the girls are made up, it's time for a fashion show! Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Provide cosmetics for the girls to play with.
Place cosmetics in a fashionable container and let the girls apply the makeup by themselves or to friends. Choose inexpensive makeup from discount or dollar stores; the fun does not have to be expensive.
2. Accessories make dressing up fun.
Provide some costumes to choose from. Yard sales and thrift stores offer inexpensive selections and fun dress-up ideas, or ask friends if they have clothing items to donate. Provide inexpensive accessories such as feather boas, scarves, jewelry, hats and high-heeled shoes.
3. Let the girls put on a fashion show.
Create an imaginary runway. Have all the girls sit on each side of the "runway" and pick girls from the crowd to take a turn on the runway. Make sure all girls get a turn walking the runway. Add music from a boom box or nearby radio to add to the fun and excitement of the fashion show.
4. Take pictures of the "models." Pricey equipment is not needed; use a cell phone other inexpensive method to snap pictures of the party crowd. Pictures can be shared with parents on social pages such as Facebook and Myspace as party souvenirs for the girls.
