7 Best Kids Makeup Kits 2024

Children love anything adults have, and that includes makeup. Perhaps your child has already asked to experiment with your makeup, or you've enjoyed the rite of passage of having to clean lipstick off your mirror. The best kids' makeup kits feature variety and are easy to wash off.

We chose several that develop fine motor skills and make children happy with hours of art-driven entertainment.

What to look for in the best kids' makeup kit

Choose a kit with plentiful colors and tools as well as something age-appropriate. "Look to see what makeup kits don't have, too," says Aimee Carr, the founder of natural and clean makeup brand Voodoo Makeup. This mom-to-two six-year-old kids says the most important things to look for in makeup kits are allergy triggers, like dyes and preservatives.

"Make sure your child is wearing makeup that is safe for them." She also says to look for how the makeup wears. "Staining the skin is a sign of heavy pigments, and use makeup as an educational tool," she says.
