my dad says i have to be 13 to wear make up. agree?

Question

im under 12 and he say still says no and my aunt got me a make up set what should i do? help!

Answer 1

you should be a little older then that other wise its kind of slutty

Answer 2

Dad's are always like that. One time i wore lipstick to church when i was 10 and got my butt beat!! Dad's will always be like that. If your aunt gave you a make up kit then she's telling you it's okay to wear it. I didn't start wearing make up everyday or almost all the time until i was 12 and 13. That's the usual age. Don't worry, he'll realize that you are growing up and that it's okay. Maybe you could try it on or something in your house and wash it off without going out in public...but I believe when you're 12 you can wear it.

Answer 3

15 or 16

Answer 4

15

Answer 5

I think you look beautiful right now without makeup, do you want to start using that stuff so early as when in your late teens or early twenties your face is full of pimples and so you use more make up to cover them up which cause more pimples... well you get what I mean. I say respect the man who takes care of you and love and trust you. Your aunt is trying to make you happy but she is going against the rules your dad has set down and that cant be right. enjoy your fresh face looks now because there is plenty of time for dress up and makeup.

Answer 6

Well I would do as your parents say. If you really want to wear makeup 13 isn't that far away. Personally I am 14 and never have worn make up yet. Its not that my parents have anything against it actually we've never even talked about it and I could care less if we do. Its just why cover up your natural beauty. Natural beauty is more attractive in my opinon. And make up is a waste of money IMO.

13's not that far away

Answer 7

My parents set the age 13 rule with me as well. I think when you start wearing makeup too young it just creates more skin problems down the road. Listen to your Dad - wait until your 13 - and, when you get there, get some tips on how to apply makeup nicely so it doesn't look cheap, unnatural or trashy.

Answer 8

I agree with your Dad. 13 is even too young. Makeup may look neat, but it also destroys your skin if you don't cleanse carefully. That's the number 1 mistake of most young women. When you are allowed to wear it...be absolute sure to wash it all off before you sleep each and every night of your life. When you turn 40, you'll be thankful.

Answer 9

I started experimenting with eyeliners at the age of thirteen. I remember when my Dad first noticed it. He discretely said to me - not mad, but quite assertively that I was to take it off immediately. I was shocked by his reaction, because I thought it was very subtle in comparison to the older girls (this was in the 80's)...I kept it on...and never stopped putting eyeliner on ever since...I think if he just ignore it, I would have stopped, but instead I kept using it just to show that this was going to be my call... He never said anything again after that. So, just make sure you know how far you can go with pushing the lines. You know your parents best...and remember: less is more!...and yes I was 13.

Answer 10

See if he will let you wear powder,lip gloss and mascara.
You only got a year. 12 is young. Just do what he says and when your 18 you can leave.
I was in JR high and 13 before I started wearing all my makeup.
I didn't need it!
Your young and so pretty you don't need it anyway.
But you can always pitch your cheeks and bite your lips lightly to have a blushed look

Answer 11

You probably don't want to hear this. But, as a parent, when one of my children does something that I disapprove of, I say to myself:

Is this a really big issue that I should make a big deal about or is it a small issue that is not worth "throwing my weight around"? As a parent, I feel that I should pick and choose my battles and not get involved in every skirmish.

Well, parents are not perfect either. And, I feel that children should not treat every stupid parental decision as the "end of the world". Some battles are just not worth fighting. Is this one worth the big fight?
