Remind them that U have a mind of UR own.
Just coz they'd jump off a cliff in the pursuit of being cool, doesn't mean U'll follow close behind.
My mum, on demand 4 whatever new fad/trend bantered about by the cool crowd & how I was encouraged 2 follow suit, reminded me if they jumped off a cliff would I follow?
Course not!
I can make up my own mind whether 2 get my ears pierced/tattoo etc etc.
I hated it when she said it, but it's true.
& on reflection all these years later, I can C now that most Peer pressure is just a test 2 C how far they can push U.

Flat out say no I'm not into that or no I think I'll pass. Just know who you are and stick to who you are, don't try to change to fit in with a crowd. Because if that's the case then obviously you need to get with a crowd that will except you for who you are and what you believe in.

Be strong. Rely on your good friends and parents/family and your own common sense to make good decisions. Ask for help if you need it-don't be afraid.
If you can't talk to your parents, talk to someone else you respect, grandparent, aunt, older sibling, neighbor, teacher, anyone.
If someone is asking you to do something that you think is bad or that makes you uncomfortable, they are not your true friend. Take care of you always!

What specifically? Make up, beauty and style?
There are lots of different ways--but there are soooo many different things that relate to peer pressure--even with our closest friends, please be more specific.

the moment you feel pressure, think that you are a person of yr own. you have yr own opinion, behavior and tastes. you should always though listen what others have to say and decide whtether you agree or not.

My friend always used to tell his daughters,
"If all your friends painted their rear ends purple, that doesn't mean it would be a good idea for you."
You can be your own person.

Talk with them, let them know how you feel. If they make fun of you for that then don't hang around them, they aren't true friends.
