I'm 14 and I want to wear make up but my mom won't let me. what should i do?

Answer 1

Sit down with Mom and ask her to compromise with you. A little gloss, blush and mascara , if applied right, is nice for a girl your age. Do not go behind her back and apply it at school...it kind of puts a sneaky side to a "girl's right of passage". Let your Mom see what you would wear...even have her help you pick shades...make it a "Mother-Daughter event"....Moms love that. I know I did that with my daughter and she never did anything behind my back...at least with make-up she didn't..Ha! Ha!...Good Luck!

Answer 2

Hey...i started wearing it around your age and was probably one of the first of my friends to wear make-up. Then all my friends started wearing it and way to much of it i never have and still never wear alot(unless im just fooling around with it) my mom doesnt really have a problem with that but honey take note(your 14 not 24) be a kid(or young teen if that makes you feel better) its honestly not worth it. also are you wearing it cause your friends are wearing it? do u like a guy? think about it. If your just wearing it to wear it theres no point. and if your wearing it for someone else there is again no point. But talk to her. my mom and i always have had a good relationship and compromising with her DOES work. and dont let it up(from a personal experience the more you push and give her a GOOD reason the more she'll re-think it not just all my friends are doing it or its for some guy) tell her something like well mom cant i wear a little bronzer and some mascara or some lipgloss. and get her involved ask her to teach you and go with wat she says(amount wise and stuff) come to a compromise about how much you can wear and how little you can wear. then talk about when you have a special ocassion if you can wear more. but good luck sweety! and live your life dont worry about what you look like and stuff(e-mail me if you have any other questions)

Answer 3

well, of course the PC thing everyone is telling u is "listen to ur mother" but those SAME peopel know how it is to be 14 and not being able to do something u feel u are old enough or mature enough to do . YES, ur skin is VIRGIN in a senses and wearing make up can become addictive and you'll have years and years of FACE to show for it by the time ur 30 BUT....... if you just HAVE to wear it BARGAIN with ur mom. Start small. Ask her about maybe just a little4 colored lip gloss instead of lipstcik or a little eye GLITTER instead of eyes SHADOW........u have to be sure to add the INSTEAD OF so she can see that, teh choice u are giving her is not as extreme!

and to crazy26 above.......we can CLEARLY see that you should not be ALOUD to put on make up in school or elsewhere. YOU should be paying attention in school so that you can learn to spell ALLOWED the right way!!!

Answer 4

I think your mother ought to ask why you want to wear makeup, and then explain that your beautiful w/out it. But then you should expect to know when you CAN wear makeup.
However, I think she ought to let you go through your faze if you want to now. Suggest trying to meet w/ her halfway by paying for the make up out of your own pocket and going w/ natural hues and colors. Just stick w/ cover up, light neutral tones on the lips and eyes, an maybe mascara if she allows [no eyeliner]. Maybe she'd feel better w/ that.

[Sidenote; I'm sure you arn't purposly trying to be disrespectful or a bad daughter, don't listen to anyone that's suggesting that you are. If make up is the least of your problems, then you are a good kid. Hopefully you and your mother can learn to meet eachother halfway. Based off your age, it sounds like you are just out of middle school, so no worries. Your mother will adjust if not this year, than next year. High school is alil different than middle school...Therefore you desire new things. This, is a very small thing you desire that isn't hurting your morals or anything. Like said, jusst try and meet w/ her halfway. And if anything, just try wearing concealer, and ease her into it.]

Answer 5

!. Ask your Mom when you CAN wear makeup.
2. Ease into it. Maybe she'll let you wear sheer lip gloss or powder for a while, then a coat of mascara or a bit of blush.

When I was 14 (more than 30 years ago) my Mom wouldn't let me wear makeup either. I could, however, flash a killer smile.

Answer 6

ask your mom for a compromise. Maybe she would allow you to wear light powder, clear/very light tint lipgloss, and clear mascara. If she would allow that, ask her at what age you are allowed to wear a little more. You are young, you don't want to pile it on anyway. Go natural and you will make a better statement . Don't directly disobey mom, nothing much good comes from that. Good luck.

Answer 7

tell her that you a responsible to wear make-up and that you wouldn't wear too much to where you look bad/a sl*t/etc. like you can wear make-up that looks natrual. i started to wear make-up around 13/14. i am 15... make-up can make you look really nice and epople would say how pretty you are and stuff. you can even ask your mom to do it for you... when i first started i started to wear natraul looking colors. my bro's friend did it the first time when i was getting my hair done by her(she wants to be a hair dresser) and then my mom did it a couple of times on me. then i just started to put make-up on myself after halloween of last year

Answer 8

Start slow, maybe ask if you can wear lipgloss? At 14, you really don't need makeup. If she still says no, listen to her. Mom's usually know best.

Answer 9

I'm also 14 and I wear makeup..my mom is like that too but I do!! You should make a compromise with her like that you will only do something with your eyes like eyeliner or your lips like lip gloss or something..

Answer 10

ask for something completely outragous, and say well.. see this is worse them makeup... a little eyeshodow wouldn't be so bad now would it? and seriously... you're 14, remind her that you're not 5 anymore, and this is the time whne you can wear retarded make up and learn what looks good and what looks retarded. if you go through that fase now, you wont when you're 20.
