Anna likes to play with her mom's makeup. She thinks it is fun to put colors on her face and pretend she is a princess. But she knows she has to be careful and not make a mess.
One day, when her mom is busy, Anna sneaks into her bedroom and finds her makeup bag. She opens it and sees many shiny things. She takes out a huge lipstick and tries to put it on her lips. But it is too big and she smears it all over her mouth and chin. She looks in the mirror and laughs.
She wants to try more things, so she takes out a blush and a mascara. She rubs the blush on her cheeks and nose, making them very pink. She opens the mascara and tries to put it on her eyelashes, but it is too hard and she pokes her eye. She cries out loud.
Her mom hears her and comes into the bedroom. She sees Anna with makeup all over her face and the bed. She is shocked and angry.
"Anna, what have you done?" she asks. "This is not a toy, this is my makeup. You are not allowed to touch it. You have made a huge mess. You have to wash it off right now."
Anna feels sorry and scared. She does not want her mom to be mad at her. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to play. I wanted to be like you. You are so pretty."
Her mom sighs and hugs her. She says, "I love you, Anna. But you have to ask me before you use my things. And you don't need makeup to be pretty. You are beautiful just the way you are. Now, let's go to the bathroom and wash your face. And then we can clean up this mess together."
