12-Year-Old Girl Applies Makeup, Before & After Photos

Physical beauty is a tremendously important attribute to have as a woman in China.  It is important when being evaluated for your potential worth before having accomplished anything, and also for being evaluated as more important than accomplishments or actions that have been already performed or done. Cosmetics play a key role in the beautification of women in China, and Chinese women are proud of their skill in using cosmetics to change their appearances.  Coupled with specific behaviors and mannerisms, Chinese women use cosmetics to look younger: eyes are enhanced to appear larger (both outside the eye and within), skin is made smoother, lips are made to pucker and pout.  The ideal of youth is attractive to everyone and is widely used as acommercial incentive.

Using youth as a standard of beauty has then raised the qualifications of being beautiful to involve younger and younger people, as recently seen with Hoang Bao Tran Le.  As the standard of beauty becomes younger, the importance of one’s skill in applying cosmetics to achieve the semblance of youth has ultimately led to this point: a young-looking “twelve year-old” child applies make-up that mature women put on in order to look younger.

From Mop:

Have you ever seen a twelve year-old girl wearing make-up that has been professionally applied? Truly very shocking!

Only until you’ve sen these photographs will you dare to believe that a 12-year-old girl could possess such divine power~~!
An Elva Hsiao-like diamond candied visage~~!
Indeed, a display of professional skill~~! It is undeniable~~!
No matter what, she is still just a primary school student, right? So everyone don’t get too excited~~!
After all, she is still just a little child~~~!
Only thing is, I am a bit concerned for her skin in the future~~~!

I’m going to try asking you guys a question: let’s say all day your child went out with make-up like this, what would you do? Leaving aside for the moment the issue of whether or not the cosmetics are genuine, and even if they were, one can imagine that skin that has been messing around with makeup since the age of 12 would probably end up looking like 40 by the age of 25~~! I hope God will bless her!

A good little girl.

First, here is a large comparison, a "feast for your eyes". (Elva Hsiao pictured on the right)

She begins by applying something to her face~~!

Almost done~~

The final result~~!
