Katie Price's new children's make-up range is inspired by Disney.

The model - who attracted controversy recently when her two-year-old daughter Princess Tiaamii featured on her UK TV show 'What Katie Did Next' wearing fake eyelashes and make-up - is releasing a host of products which will make it fun for little girls to dress up like their mummies.

She said: "We went to Disney World and they do make-up for children and mine will be like that. But it won't have glitter in it like the Disney stuff.

"It will be safe, it will be like the stuff you get in Toys 'R' Us."

Katie, 31, also dismissed the furore which erupted because she put make-up on Princess Tiaamii.

She added to UK TV show 'This Morning': "I go to my drawer and my pencils are blunt where Princess has used them. Make-up for kids is perfectly fine, it's pretty harmless really. Little girls have always enjoyed playing about with a bit of lippy and mascara. It's only a big deal because it's me."

Katie's ex-husband Peter Andre - who is Princess Tiaamii's father - was reported to be furious after learning his former spouse planned to use their daughter to promote the kids' make-up range.

A friend of the Australian singer - who also has a son, Junior, four, with Katie, and helps her raise her seven-year-old son Harvey from a previous relationship - said: "Peter's concerns are genuine. He really doesn't think it is right to see a child wearing make-up."

Katie's range is set to include an edible lipstick, blusher, mascara and various nail varnishes.

As a nanny I can see some merit in kids playing with make up not in a got to look pretty way but ia a mum doesn't like this lippie anymore and it is easler to clean up than facepaint and that could help develop an anwarness of their bodies and their creativity. But lets be honest Katie Price is a terrible rolemodel for young children when children a playing with make up we want them to learn how to draw shapes on diffrent surfaces and that pokeing yourself in the eye hurts not that taking you clothes of for money is a good idea.

Is this a joke?! haha how ridiculous. Its this sort of this that encourages Paedophilia.

I think that once they can afford to buy it themselves (eg: when there old enough to work) then they can wear it!

When i was little i used to love playing with mum's make up, was more of a naughty thing tho and would end up with lipstick all over my face! But it wasnt because i wanted to look beautiful or cared about tmy appearance, it was just for laughs =) I was 15 when i started wearing makeup and even then it was just mascara and lipgloss!

I had a little make up set when i was little but i wasn't THAT little probably about 8/9. Which had eyeshadow, Lipsticks and glitter gel and blusher. I think that is acceptable but mascara? A child at 2 would poke the stick straight into their eyes so i don't think it is safe let alone the fact it is just katie making money she doesn't need AGAIN! I feel sorry for her little girl being used like that.

Awesome. Because my six year old needs to look like a skank. Oh wait. No she doesn't.

Another way to make money I guess....pft

Kris   #14   01:44 pm Mar 23 2010

You will be surprised at the number of people who will buy this just because it is Katie Price. This is just exploitation and trying to make people spend money on their kids that can actually be used for more constructive stuff!!!

Wrong

I think its great, women need to know early on that basically they are plainly put on this earth to wear make up, get massive breast implants and talk with a really bad cockney slang accent

Thank goodness I have a boy, so (hopefully!) don't have to worry about this!

Part of the 'buzz' when we snuck into our mum's room as kids to try out some of her makeup was that it was hers, and we knew it was naughty, but not so naughty we'd get into really big trouble... Where's the fun, when mum hands it to you and (presumably) shows you how to use it..?
