Interesting Fact - Makeup

A study carried out by Fragrance Direct showed that nearly half of young girls in the UK start wearing make-up between the ages of 10 and 15.

(Girls start feeling the pressure to start wearing make-up at the age of 10, and the average age at which girls start wearing make-up is 11 (3 years younger than a decade ago).

With the pressure to look perfect, especially for that "selfie", make-up is increasingly being marketed to preteens: One Direction launched their own make-up line ‘Little Things' in 2013, despite their hit single, What Makes You Beautiful, saying girls 'don't need make-up!'

Well there is a saying in English, "little things please little minds".)
