When you’re a dad of daughters, you quickly learn what “compromise” means: your girls suggest something, you say “no”, and they take it as a “yes”.
One of the many pleasures of being a father is being on the receiving end of your childrens’ antics – and you can only imagine what this means when your daughters start getting into makeup. Daughters have a way of getting exactly what they want, though, which is why so many dads are all too familiar with how their faces look after a “makeover”.
If you’re looking for a laugh, you’ll love these pictures of dads looking pretty after their daughters have given them a makeover. Here’s to the dads who would do anything for their little princesses!
1. Single father dress-up time
If there’s one item of makeup most girls couldn’t live without, it’s mascara. And look how pretty this dad is looking with those fluttery eyelashes! We have to admire his dedication to quality time with your daughter. Equally, we admire his daughter’s ruthless manipulation of a grown man.
Some would say that five years old is too young to be learning how to apply makeup. Others would say that, as this little girl clearly proves, five years is more than long enough to acquire the makeup skills you need. Her dad looks stunning.
You just know that when your child gets something for Christmas, they’re going to want to test it out all day. This dad ended up being the mannequin for his daughter’s new Christmas makeup application. Don’t worry, dad, she’ll be over it in a few weeks, max.
There’s nothing that says amusement in quarantine like donning dad in a headband and getting busy on him with the makeup. There’s clearly commitment in this role, as we’re not quite sure that dad has enough hair to qualify for the headband. Loving the shade of lipstick, though.
If you’re a dad and you don’t fancy a full makeover, just grow a beard. Like this guy, you can hope your daughter is so distracted by your chin hair that she ends up making that over instead. You could probably live with a purple beard better than other more permanent makeup options.
Though we can definitely see the inspiration behind this work of art, it’s clear that this daughter needs a little more time to perfect her skills. And that’s what dad is for – practice makes perfect, right? Another 15 times, max, and she’ll have got it just right.
7. Stepdaughter hair styling
Lockdown hasn’t been easy for anyone. This stepdad had been having trouble trying to think of ideas to keep his stepdaughter entertained… until he let her do his hair. Now look at her big smile!
Nothing says party like making your face up like a mermaid. This dad even has a few gems above his eyebrow to complete the look. We’ll be seeing him at the next Coachella, we’re sure!
9. Making his daughter smile
This man admitted to having a hard time bonding with and getting his daughter to smile lately. So he finally agreed to let her give him a makeover and her smile says it all. Dad points to him!
We can’t help thinking that the words “clown makeup” are a little too literal when it comes to this photo. It’s like his daughter started with the idea of making her dad beautiful, then forgot what that meant along the way. And reverted to red clown paint.
When you’re a dad of girls, you’re free to let your inner drag queen out. We happen to think that this is one of the best makeovers we’ve seen so far. And you’re telling us his daughter did it? Please.
You might be thinking, “This little girl is so young that she can’t even apply her own lipstick properly.” But that happens to be something you never learn with age, thank you very much. Luckily, dad just got a couple of lipstick splotches on his cheek for his involvement.
When this girl did her dad’s makeup, she never expected such a strong reaction from him. Well, this is what happens when you get to see what your face looks like with a bit of retouching. He’s giving “beautiful” a whole new meaning!
While we’ve never personally seen models don lipstick on their heads, perhaps it’s a new trend that we’re unaware of. It definitely seems like this daughter had a solid plan in mind when she first made over her own face, then her dad’s. They’re like a tribe of two!
Being a dad is all about putting up with your daughter insisting that your hair gets put into tiny “pug tails”. And now this daughter, she can fondly look back at these photos of her dad and appreciate the sacrifices he made for her enjoyment. RIP.
Who said that face makeup was the only form of enhancement offered in a beauty parlor? This daughter reminded us all of the importance of never forgetting about nails. We’re getting low-level Russell Brand vibes from this pic… just us?
We’re hedging a bet that this dad’s daughter is either all grown-up, or has been watching endless beauty YouTube videos in her spare time. She’s made her dad look like a superstar. Quite honestly, we could never hope to replicate something on this level of talent.
You’re never too young to get to work with a beauty blender! As long as it’s on your dad’s face, anyway. Looks like that foundation is the exact shade of his skin, too – now that’s lucky.
19. The Rock and his daughter
Famous dads are still there for their daughter’s antics, you know! The Rock probably melted a few hearts when he shared this adorable post of his daughter doing his makeup. Poor guy just wants to eat his food, but could you resist that adorable face?
20. Gotta stay looking sharp
After so many years of marriage, the novelty and excitement fade somewhat. This man’s daughter knew she had to keep him looking sharp for his wife. And what better way to do that than by painting his toenails?
Now, blue is always a bit hit and miss no matter where you’re putting it on your face, but this daughter makes it work. Dad might want to look cool and hip in his snapback, but his daughter has other plans for him. She calls this the blue Smartie lip.
It’s another blue makeover – we sense a new trend is on its way! In this case, dad’s daughter managed to avoid his lips and instead gave him blue eyelashes… and a blue nose. It’s a bit Avatar-ish, we guess?
This man shared a Facebook post explaining that he had the honor of being his daughter’s first client in her nail spa this morning. In typical dad style, he wrote: “If ya dont have nothing nice 2 say about her work, then dont say nothing 🤔🤔😂😂😂😂”. Then let us all know that she’s open for appointments. We’ll be booking ASAP…
This dad was here to remind us that getting a makeover from a willing daughter is actually a good thing. Why? Because it means you’ve bonded to a level where your daughter trusts you to be a willing subject. So grin and bear it, dads – and welcome to the club.
25. Ghost of Christmas present
Not all makeovers involve makeup, you know. This dad’s daughter decided to make him a custom crown – and that’s not an easy feat, you know! We couldn’t make anything better ourselves, even if she’s left him resembling a certain Christmas ghost.
This lucky dad had all the works one evening. Not only did he get his nails done by his daughter, she threw in eyes too. Two for the price of one! He more than anyone knows the importance of closing his eyes and saving himself from being the victim of an accidental stabbing.
There are photos here that show dads trying their best to look like they’re hating every minute of their makeover. But we all know they’re secretly loving it inside. This dad wasn’t afraid to show his joy while his little girl neatly gave him a red lip. Beautiful!
From one extreme to the other, we have a makeover that isn’t… quite… up to scratch. We’d say this was the work of a four-year-old. Who doesn’t seem to have learned yet that some colors don’t belong on the cheeks. Dad looks impressed, anyway.
You know when you go to a British pantomime and you see the pantomime dames all dressed up looking pretty? They use this man’s daughter as a makeup artist. Eyeliner flicks on point.
Hey, grandpas are allowed to get the beauty treatment, too. This grandad’s ability to sit still for the job ahead suggests he’s a regular victim – sorry,
client – of his granddaughter. Pouty pouty!
31. He knows he’s beautiful
This dad shared a candid Instagram post documenting his makeover session. He wrote:
“So when little girls tell you to sit down and hold still that’s what you do 😅. Although I thought the finger nail polish was water based and not permanent. I was wrong. And I have no nail polish remover here😯😬😳. We had a good time and that’s all that matters. I love my kids so much. We have such a blast together. What more can I say other than I’m beautiful. 🤩”
This dad and daughter know how to pose for a photo! They look stunning with their matching red lips and… er… whatever that brown stuff is smeared on dad’s lips. The eyebrows could probably use some work, too – daughter has a monobrow and dad looks oddly surprised.
33. The work of 7 little girls
When you’re the wife of a husband that gets a girlie makeover, it’s only expected for you to take a photo of him and share it with the world. Despite the fact that this wife said that her husband would probably kill her if he found this online, she couldn’t help sharing it anyway! She wrote: “I leave u with a picture of the aftermath of 7 little girls at a sleepover x”.
You know your makeover game is strong when you don’t only do the face; you do the hair, too. Luckily, this daughter had a wig to hand to make dad look extra fierce. He just needs a dress to complete the look, now.
From one wig to another… this dad is giving off major high school cheerleader vibes with his high ponytail and lipgloss. Of all the makeup looks we’ve seen so far, this one is pretty subtle. We think they both look stunning!
On the other hand, it seems a little like this daughter forgot where she was supposed to put the makeup on her dad’s face. To be fair to her, though, it’s about time the forehead started receiving more attention. More is
always better.
Everyone knows that you’re not a true princess without a tiara. And, in this dad’s case, matching earrings, a ring and a magic wand. The big question here is: why does that ring fit a grown man’s finger?
Men who don’t wear makeup don’t know what they’re missing out on. It really does make you more beautiful – as proven by this stunning makeover. With his new look, this dad’s confidence must have soared through the roof.
Being a dad of all daughters isn’t all about keeping boys away from them. Sometimes it’s trying out an eyeshadow palette – because even a creepy smile from your little girl is better than a frown! They both look beautiful!
When you think of all the attention, care and dedication that has obviously gone into this makeup look, the only response is to… laugh (sorry). We admire this daughter’s ability to make her dad’s lips look like they’ve disappeared. And the blue and pink nails are simply exquisite.
You know why nail polish is called “nail” polish, right? Something tells us this particular daughter missed the memo. But hey, when the color’s that pretty, who wouldn’t want it all over their feet?
According to this dad, it was only acceptable to get his nails done if he looked like enough of “a man”. Answers on a postcard to what that actually means, please! Apparently, to him it means getting silver nail polish that reminds us a bit of The Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz.
43. Whole family makeover
Why should anybody be left out of the fun when it’s makeover time? Not only did this dad get involved, but he also made sure he was the star of the show with his sparkly blue eyeshadow. Not to be biased, but he definitely looks the prettiest.
Give your daughter the right tools and she can actually do a semi-decent job, no matter how young she is. In this dad’s case, he was treated to a trending shade of lipstick and a relatively minimalistic eye makeup approach. We like this look a lot.
We’re not entirely sure that this grandpa is awake to see what’s going on with his feet, but it’s probably for the best. And who cares about toenails, anyway? You have them covered up most of the time. This is an inside-the-home secret only.
We’re getting serious My Little Pony vibes from these colorful hair extensions. But we have to say that dad is totally rocking the look. It might be a bit much to get used to at first, but we can see this hairstyle being a big hit in a few years’ time.
Ah, traditional makeup. We didn’t realize that people still used blush anymore, but if there was ever proof that we should bring it back, it’s this picture! Dad is happy to do anything to make his daughter smile, and it melts out hearts.
Nothing beats getting a Frozen temporary tattoo by your daughters as a (literal) mark of their love for you. Unless you have to go to work, that is. He should probably keep that covered by his sleeve, unless he wants to be the victim of relentless teasing from his colleagues.
This little girl might love her dad no matter what, but she realized that he was missing a little something. So she made him over with the standard blue eyeshadow, pink lipstick and eyeliner flicks. He looks truly fabulous.
And finally, only dads know the struggle of trying to wash permanent marker drawings off your face before a day at work. While most makeup is thankfully relatively easy to remove, that’s rarely the case with pen. Oh, well – when he’s showcasing artwork like that, why would he want to wash it off?
