I shared a room with both sisters up until i moved away to uni at 18 and it was exactly the same thing with both of them. Sadly i never found anything that worked, short of taking my make up with me to school or hiding it where they couldnt get it.
You could make a rule that as long as it comes back in perfect condition then it's ok for her to borrow it. Let your parents know that this is what will happen and if it comes back ruined they'll stand by you when you demand she buys you a new one. This situation caused alot of problems with the relationship with my older sister and its only now (6 years later) we're getting on again. So, i know it's hard to do, but chill out about it. Be kind and feel flattered that she wants your stuff.

Okay, check this out, hon. I am the middle sister of get this, 6 other girls in my family, so darling, I KNOW sisters. The most sure thing I know is that they want to have the choice and chance of sharing just about anything that you have. Not trying to make myself out to be an angel, but I NEVER took my older sister's things, but that was because I was a tomboy and I wanted only to climb trees and play with my one & only little brothers TRUCKS! But of course I grew out of it and my little sisters were TAKERS!! One sister was notorious. She even wore my coat to school one day which had my car keys in it as we got older. Believe me I tried EVERYTHING you could imagine to stop her and nothing ever worked, NOTHING.
Now she is 28 and more mature and actually has stopped. I used to think she was a cleptomaniac. She came to live with me once when she relocated from Atlanta and she accused ME of messing with her stuff. Well, she has a closet like Carrie from Sex and the City, who could resist, but I did ALWAYS tell her what I had. She didn't trust me because she likely didn't trust herself. Her (and my) little sister would take her stuff and so she got some of her own medicine. Both of them also took my OLDER sisters stuff too, which no girl could resist: they both make handmade clothing and jewelry and have awesome accessory collections! My sister (the former clepto) has now gotten over all that and actually gives away whole suitcases of clothing, bags, shoes, too much, even to my 13 year old. So... hang in there.
HIDE YOUR MOST TREASURED THINGS and think about promising to give her something on a monthly basis if she promises not to sneak and take yourself. TRUST me darling, it is the best road to peace between you and your precious (yeah that's right) little sis!
~Peace, Sleek

I know that you want her to stop taken your stuff so why don't you take what you don't want her to touch and put it into a lock box this way you know that when it is in there she can not mess with it . I was 12 years older than my sister we had to share a room and that was hard because she was a baby and I was a teenager but I took my shelf and put it between our beds put her stuff on her side of the shelf and my stuff on my side of the shelf and that worked out pretty good she was a mess and my side was clean so when my mom walked in she knew who was messy and who was clean so try that and I hope that is works out for you God Bless you

Well talk to her nicely why she always using your stuff all the time then,if she say that she wants to borrow tell her to ask u first if she can use it or not,so tell her not all the time she can use all your stuff,and she have to buy her own so you two dont fight for whatever she takes from you,but sharing a things for your sister to use is not really bad,infact lucky you that you have a sister,but me i dont have.

Then start taking her things and show how that it feel and perhaps you will get her attention. This do not help then file charges
agains her to repay damages of taking your things and keep a record of the things she is taking from you. Be sure to inform her of actions that you are going to take so that she will not be surprise in court. After this action is taken she will surely know that you are serious and apologize and respect you. Be sure to give her things back if taking hers did not work. this also will make youlook good in court.

Simply tell her the fact that you don't like to share the things with her. tell her that loving sis and sharing things with sis are two different things. have a serious conversation with her. if nothing works that use the principle- "tit for tat".; do the say things with your sis so that it will make her realise all wrongs.

discuss your problem with her one more time and tell her to change habits.
or
lock your stuff in the cupboard
or
talk to your parents abt separate bedrooms for you and your sister
