But fans were quick to notice the young girl’s eye makeup and lipstick.
Leah, lay off the makeup on these girls. They’re little kids. For heaven’s sake, let them keep their innocence and just be kids for a change

Why is she wearing make-up?

Messer was not having it though, and clapped back, saying her daughter is just having innocent fun around the house.

People were quick to back the MTV cast member, recalling their fond memories playing with makeup as kids.
I got into my aunts red lipstick when I was 3 and it’s one of the best memories I have. Like everyone says, let them be kids. Kids play👏🏼
