Sometimes convincing your mom isn't easy, but there are make up alternatives that even I use sometimes instead of makeup. A tinted chapstick is always good and makes lips look instantly better. There are also tinted lotions that can add glow add a sun kissed look to your skin. For your eyelashes you can put a little moisturizer on them to define and darken. And it might sound weird, but if you apply tinted lip stuff to the dimples of your cheeks it'll add color like blush, and you'll look rosy. Sometimes it just has to do with working with the no make up rule, good luck!

Talk to your mom, and make a compromise. Say you'll only wear a tiny bit. If she thinks it's too much, you wash some of it off. If you just wear mascara and eyeshadow, girl that's HOT! People who wear too much make-up are disgusting and it's looks so fake. Make it look natural. Even a little blush or pressed foundation isn't too much, as long as it looks natural! Don't go with the usual, "But mom, EVERYBODY in my grade wears it" that doesn't work at all. Take her make-up shopping with you and let her tell you if she approves or disagrees.
Good luck, girl!
P.S. I'm only 12 and my mom doesn't really care, as long as I don't wear a ton!

Mom rules. Just be a good little girl and do as she asks. You are 13, you are not old enough to "convince" your mother of anything. You are a child. I'm sure you think you know better than mom does what is best for you, but take it from a total stranger. Mom rules. She is protecting you, and you don't have to understand it. The only thing you need to understand is your mother is doing her job as a parent and your job is to be the child. You will have your whole life to wear make-up. And in doing so, give your skin time to get ready for make-up, you haven't even finished growing up physically yet. Slow down take your time. Listen to your mother. Behave. Best Wishes to you and mom.

Does your mother think you are too young for make-up? Well anyhow, you can ask her to show you how she puts on her eyeshadow and ask if she wouldn't mind if you tried it. She if she'll help you "play dress-up" if you will. No offense when I say this, but do you think maybe that your mother doesn't feel that you aren't mature enough for make-up yet? Who knows, she may think you don't need it. Have you asked her why you can't wear make-up yet? Hope this has helped you in some way and good luck.

Talk to her about it. If your friends wear makeup invite them over to prove your point with your mother. Try to start with just a little lip gloss and convince her you will keep it light and simple. Remember less is more.

All you need is a little mascara and lip gloss. You dont wanna look trashy or slutty. That's when all those labels come in. Just say mom I want make up and convince her all your friends have been wearing it for a while. Say its "in."

Try a light shimmery shadow and lip glosses. That is all thats appropriate for a 13 year old to wear. Any more and your going to look like a child who is neglected by her parents.

well at 13 you relay shouldn't use make up. but that's not going to help you around your friends right? best bet is when you go to the mall with your friends buy some light colored make up and have your friends take it to school for you. and ask your mom to get you a small pack of baby wipes(which to me you should always have anyway) and keep them in your book bag to remove the makeup. yes baby wipes (not handy wipes) are the best thing to remove make up.
