I agree with this. I have a DD and I live in OC, so we go to or see people going to and from DL and Downtown Disney regularly. Personally, I think they use too much make-up, but that is a personal preference. What kills me is the price of it. WHY should something that is going to last a max of 8 hours cost $189 dollars for the full treatment? Even the "coach" version is $60. For that reason alone, I would not do it. I would do what Wife and Mommy said and go buy my own sparkle stuff and do it myself.

I understand that you can tell them very light make-up, but it still bothers me.

I don't remember seeing little girls with heavy make up. Is that standard? I was under the impression it was a hairdo with crown/hair glitter. I saw the BBB the first time a few years ago and haven't since so obviously I'm not remembering how involved it is/can be.

I don't mind reasonably-colored polish or clear lip balm but we wouldn't do anything more than that. Until she's 12.

Most of the girls I have seen have had on what *I* consider heavy make-up. Others may disagree.

So I found the link for it: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tou...bidi-boutique/

I guess the parent tells the stylist how much/little to put on the girl. We all know there are girls with parents who don't mind full on makeup at such young ages.

The linked picture shows the girl getting a glitter design on her face instead of "grown up" make up. I wouldn't mind one of those. It reminds me of a face painting.

what I truly dislike about the bbb is the hair. It really looked weird on the girls I saw. I gave my dd the choice between the bbb and getting her hair cut at the magic kingdom and she chose the haircut. I was happy she made that choice but next time she might want to do the bbb and I would let her.

None of the girls we saw at DL that were obviously BBB makeovers had heavy makeup at all. With many, you couldn't see color, just glitter/sparkle. The main noticeable thing is the hair, which can be either in a ballet bun with a tiara, in a punk style with multicolored hair piece, or a princess style, with a long hairpiece that is either natural-colored or pink.

The makeup at the DL location was BY FAR less than performance ballet makeup.

We didn't ask for light makeup or anything. We just let the BBB person do her thing, based on DD's choices.

Here's some pics:

This was pretty typical of what I saw.

Shoot, that wasn't the exact link I wanted- just search for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. I have found a couple of pics of girls with heavier makeup- don't care for that.

The glittery thing on that girl's cheek is "body art" stickers they get.

There is a separate face painting experience (which is VERY odd IMO) at the Princess Fantasy Faire at DL. It is completely separate from BBB.

Also, there is no haircutting location at DL -- on at WDW.

I didn't care for the punk rock hair option but I can't imagine that someone would think that a little girl with her hair up, tiara and glitter would be "blah". Dd looked like a princess, a beautiful little girl dressed up like a princess, not an adult in any way shape or form. Guess this one is hitting a nerve..

My BFF's DDs had it done last month and the pics were precious. They had very little makeup on (they have worn more for dance recitals) and their hair was worn in a bun with the little crown. They both looked so stinkin' cute and had the best time. I have no objections to it.
