my mom won't let me wear makeup untill im 15 what do i do?!?

Answer 1

Focus on keeping your skin clean and beautiful.
Your skin isn't ready for makeup even at fifteen. I followed my friends and started experimenting at thirteen and got nothing but a bad case of acne. I only realized this when I stopped using it and my skin went back to normal. Now I use eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss and for certain occasions a little powder and blush. Thats when I have a formal event. Except for a blemish now and again, my skin can pass without powder thank God.
Listen to your Mom she's trying to do whats best for you.You should see those friends of mine. WOW! Now without makeup they look wierd. Very! I can't explain it but once you start to wear the darn thing you just dont look 'right' without it.
Here's a suggestion, wear lightly tinted lip balms and clear mascara . Pretty, not flashy. I still use that sometimes and I'm fine with it.

Answer 2

Just wait until then. If you sneak around and apply make-up behind her back, she will lose trust for you and might end up making you wait longer. I'm not sure how old you are now, but 1f you are under 15 then you don't need much makeup anyway. See if you can talk your Mom into letting you wear some clear mascara and a light lip-gloss for now, but if she says no then respect her wishes and don't be in a hurry to grow up. When you do start wearing make-up find someone to give you some good tips on how to wear it, and keep it light, you don't want to look like some of the teens I see walking around looking skanky.

Answer 3

I know its hard, cos I was the same at your age! but the thing is, u don't really need makeup at your age, you have natural beauty. you do have to respect your mum's wishes, but maybe you could have a chat with her and come to a compromise of maybe wearin a little eyeshadow or lipgloss? You will appreciate wearing it more when your 15, it is a good age to start wearing it. You dont want to cover your youthful looks honey. And if everyone else is wearing it, who cares? it's good to be different!

Answer 4

Just wait until you're 15 like your mother wants. Don't worry about it, I am sure you're naturally beautiful anyway. However, maybe you can convince her to let you wear a tinted lip balm or gloss, and maybe some clear mascara. That is all you really need. You are young so I am sure you have beautiful skin, enjoy it while you can.

Answer 5

Do you REALLY think make-up will make you a better person? More attractive? REALLY?

I once dated a woman who wore so much make-up that I was embarrassed to be out with her, really. She was tall, had naturally jet-black hair that reached her waist, she had a beautiful body which she enjoyed flaunting, too. She even looked like Cher (the singer, now retired). But... her make-up? Even her father and her brothers and her sister told her to use less... she looked ridiculous! I explained to her that the real secret behind wearing make-up was not to show the entire world that she was wearing make-up; that make was meant to be used to enhance features and to bring out features, not to to be worn like a mask to hide behind or as camouflage! She wouldn't listen. Today, she's a woman in her 50s, and she hates seeing photos of herself... she now realizes how ridiculous she looked!

My daughter, a woman in her 30s, barely wears make-up; she takes after her mother who also barely wears make-up, or that's what it seems like. My wife started wearing make-up in her late 20s, she visited a hair salon and the hair stylist asked her if she could put some make-up on her (and gave her a trial gift to entice her to return... which she did). You'd never believe she's wearing make-up unless you got so close that you're breathing in her face! Neither my daughter nor her mother when she was her age ever got pimples or blackheads or any kind of blemishes... do you wonder why? Today, they both look 15 years or more younger than they are! (My daughter is in her 30s, and she has been asked for ID in front of her teenage son and while with her husband, a police officer!)

Listen, what do you really think make-up is supposed to do for you? Make up look older, more mature or prettier, sexier or what? Goodness, if you only knew what those chemicals do to the skin and how they prevent the skin from "breathing" (that's also part of the function of the skin, by the way) and the make-up not only ages the skin but clogs pores, and at your age, it's important that you let your pores "breathe" so that you are not constantly breaking out with blackheads, pimples, etc., particularly at your tender age when your hormones are starting to wake up and will be causing many wonderful life-changes in you; your skin and your pores need the fresh air! Wait around, let your body do what its supposed to do before you start smearing all that goo on your pretty skin.

Please listen to your mother; you WILL APPRECIATE her advice when you're much older and still have smooth skin (smoother than your friends that started wearing make-up earlier than you). The longer you wait to start to wear make-up, the longer your skin will stay pretty when you're a mature woman! Wash your face often and particularly before going to bed; my own daughter always did and she has the most beautiful skin (like her mother) in the world.

One day, YOU will be telling your child the same things that your mother is telling you right now, I promise. So, be a little patient with your mother; when you're much older, you will realize how much more she DOES know... right now you may find that difficult to believe but, you'll change your way of thinking in the future, and that's a promise!

Please take care and please be well.

Answer 6

I guess all you can do is wait. Until then wash your face gently every day and try red lolypops for color. Youur probably pretty enough to get away without any makeup being young. Your skin still has its youthfull elasticity. But when you do start wearing makup try using it sparingly. Makeup is to enhance features not to change what you look like. Good luck.

Answer 7

Alot of the girls I grew up with started wearing make-up at the age of 15 and now they have acne and bad skin.

Answer 8

try asking her can you wear it round the house so you can learn how and what suits you so when you get to the age she would allow you to wear it you shall look natural and not like a clown .
My mother was great she bought me make up to learn when i was 11...my dad went mad but mum explained why she was doing this.I never wore it out side but because of a great mum i looked great lol. I'm now 55 and still look great.......... or so I'm told mainly because i don't over do stuff and i know how to take my make off and treat my skin.................good luck have a word with her.

Answer 9

hmm well is it totally necesary to be wearing makeup? like if ur just talkin bout eyeliner and such then just put it on when ug et to school and wipe it off before u get home.. but like if its foundation blush and others then dont use it unless you really need to! coz like it may make u look better.. but in the long run soon u wont be able to not wear it coz ur pores will be all blocked up and ur skin will get all icky. hope that makes sense! lol

Answer 10

If you are wanting to cover-up blemishes and such maybe she will let you use a tinted moisturizer, it conceals and looks natural. Just don't sneak around, you will get busted, which will create a trust issue between you and your mom. She needs to know she can trust you. Don't blow it on something this small.
