The first rule of parenting is not leaving your kids alone for too long.

Even a second can be too long, lest they get acquainted with a Vaseline tub or Nutella jar (RIP furniture).

When one little girl decided to get artistic with her mum’s lipstick, her choice of medium was her face.

Annoyingly for mum Victoria Kidner, from West Midlands, four-year-old Sofia decided to make a whole mess out of her makeup.

The youngster smeared lipstick all over her face, leaving a pink tinge for days.

Victoria, 33, had walked into the kitchen to do some washing up and left Sofia on the sofa watching TV.

Despite only leaving her daughter to her own devices for 10 minutes, Victoria was shocked to see the chaos Sofia had caused in such a short space of time.

When her daughter came bouldering into the kitchen to show mummy her ‘artwork’, Victoria was furious.

Even though the lipstick was in a cupboard upstairs in her mother’s bedroom, Sofia had managed to take the make-up and colour in her face.

The mum had to spend the next 10 minutes cleaning her daughter’s face. While it came off, there is still a pink hue on the child’s face.

Victoria, a postal worker, said: ‘I didn’t hear her making any noise, so thought she was just enjoying herself and behaving.

‘But whilst my back was turned she had gone upstairs and got my make-up bag from a cupboard in my bedroom.

’10 minutes later she came running into the kitchen with a massively proud look on her face.

‘This is when I saw her with a perfectly coloured in bright pink face with the biggest smile.’

Victoria used baby wipes to get it off before giving Sofia a bath.

Despite having her favourite lipstick ruined, Victoria admits that she couldn’t help but laugh at the situation.

She said: ‘At first I just couldn’t believe how perfectly she had got it – I couldn’t even be mad at her!

‘After looking over her face I had to get a quick picture to look back on and give her credit for the amazingly perfect job – not one bit was missed out!

‘I did bolt upstairs because I was expecting to find a massacre of lipstick across my bedroom, but I was pleasantly surprised that no trace was left – that was one silver lining!’
