**Celebrity Moms and Their Teenage Daughters**

In the world of Hollywood, it's hard to believe how quickly time flies. Many of our favorite stars now have teenage children who are making their mark in the world. Take Gwyneth Paltrow, for example, who recently shared an Instagram photo with her 14-year-old daughter, Apple. The striking resemblance between mother and daughter is undeniable, with Apple being the spitting image of the Goop founder. Similarly, Jennifer Garner has been opening up about her 13-year-old daughter, Violet, who is just beginning to dip her toes into the world of makeup.

**Teenage Exploration of Beauty**

In a recent interview with People magazine, Garner discussed Violet's newfound interest in beauty. She revealed that Violet has been having a blast experimenting with makeup, exploring different looks and styles. However, despite her growing independence, Violet still seeks her mom's approval before stepping out of the house. Garner shared, "She’s really smart about, ‘OK, now I’m leaving the house. Now I need to check with my mom because chances are she’s gonna make me take this lip off.

’ It’s a process. Growing up is a process."

**Navigating Motherhood in the Spotlight**

Garner also reflected on the unique experience of raising a daughter in the spotlight. With her own career in Hollywood, Garner acknowledges that it might have been an unusual upbringing for Violet, constantly seeing her mom undergo makeup transformations. "My kids know two versions of me," Garner remarked. "They know the version that I see in the mirror right now that looks crazy, and it’s what they see 90 percent of the time," she added, referring to her casual, off-duty appearance when not working on set.

**Encouraging Self-Confidence**

Despite the complexities of raising children in the public eye, Garner emphasizes the importance of instilling confidence and self-assurance in her kids. While she's unsure about the impact of her Hollywood lifestyle on Violet, Garner wants her children to understand that true confidence comes from embracing one's authentic self. "I think whatever version of growing up they need to do around that, if they can come back to this in the end, we’re good to go," Garner affirmed, highlighting the value of self-acceptance amidst the glamour of celebrity life.
