IsBlue Ivyset to become the next big beauty influencer?
According to her grandmotherTina Knowles Lawson, the 7½-year-old daughter ofBeyoncéandJAY-Zis already a big fan of (and quite talented with) makeup — but only during “playtime,” Knowles Lawson toldEntertainment Tonightover the weekend at Los Angeles’Beautyconevent.
“She’s quite a makeup artist. She’s amazing,” the fashion designer and businesswoman, 65, praised Blue. “She puts stones [on her eyes] and does all this fancy stuff. Shecan do a perfect cat eye. She’s a little artist.”
“I’ve bought Blue so many makeup kits, much to her dad’s dismay! Dads don’t like that,” Knowles Lawson continued. “But it’s just for playtime. We have fun.”
The mother of two also revealed that she thinks 13 is a good age to let kids begin to wear makeup out of the house — which is when she allowed daughters Beyoncé, 37, andSolange Knowles, 33, do so. But even then, she had limits.
“A little lip gloss —maybea little blush — and I always believed in mascara, that’s so fun. But not any base and all that stuff, that’s a little much,” she added.
