Help the Deal Divas make over some teenagers!
A friend came up to me at a holiday party recently with pleading eyes. Her 13-year-old daughter wanted to start wearing makeup, and she needed advice. What products? What colors? What's the line between cool and hooker?
That conversation morphed into a little project. On Wednesday, the Deal Divas are bringing three 13-year-old girls into our photo studio for a little makeup session, where we'll talk eyeshadow, brow plucking, nails, and everything else they need to know to play up their features and avoid looking like this:
Whoa Momma has broached the topic of young ladies and makeup before and gotten some interesting responses. So before our young Divas arrive, we'd like to hear from you. When did you start wearing makeup? What about your kids? What tips are absolutely indispensable for fresh faces venturing into cosmetic lands unknown? Leave comments here or at our Facebook page.
And stay tuned for a full recap of our Diva makeovers!

Katie Sanders foolishly spurned pretty dresses and shoes as a child, tossing new clothes over her shoulder at birthday parties with a totally rude "no, thank you." Her drab days of monocolor outfits are over now, and she certainly knows better than to turn down free stuff. Her wardrobe mixes classic with quirk. Think blazers with statement necklaces, and lots of patterned ballet flats. She can be reached at 850) 224-7263 or 
Kameel Stanley has never encountered a thrift store she didn’t like. Her mother taught her that the true value of clothes isn’t how much they cost, but how many outfits one can create from them. Having grown up in Michigan, she was delighted to learn upon moving to Florida that she almost never needed to wear socks or boots again. There’s a lot of turnover in her closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8643 or 
A disciple of the little black dress classics school, Letitia Stein stretches her budget by looking for styles with staying power. She lives for 80 percent off shoes at DSW, floral sundresses and bohemian chic tops. She confesses to being a bit of a snob when it comes to handbags and jewelry. She can be reached at (813) 226-3400 or 
From camo pants and construction boots to sundresses, sweaters and sling backs, Keyonna Summers knows how to make all of it rock -- at rock bottom prices.

She believes in searching for affordable clothes that look expensive and can easily be dressed up or down. You won't find plaid shirts or fleece jackets in her closet; the only hiking Keyonna does is to the bargain basement. She can be reached at (727) 445-4153 or
