Do you think i should be allowed to wear makeup? I mean I look really good with makeup on in stuff, it's just, my mom won't let me wear any! I turned 12 on the 31st of March. She said I can start wearing some when I'm in highschool. I mean not to school, well maybe sometimes, but to like special occasions like family pics in stuff. All my friends are pretty much alowed to wear makeup,but not me. I wouldn't wear it ALL the time, but for special things, like that you know?
Please tell me what you think....
(and I know a bunch of you guys who ansewr this Q will say, "Listen to your mom, you'll thank her when you're older," But still, common' HIGHSCHOOL???!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It is very common to see teens today wear makeup. I started when I was 12. I'm glad I did too. I had 2 years before high school to perfect my make up so I wouldn't look stupid when I got to high school. I don't think make up makes me fake I have fun putting on and experimenting with colors. I like to look different and getting compliments about how I look. Tell your mom you just want to experiment. You don't want to wear it all the time but just want to learn a few simple things about make up. That way when your older you won't have to ask someone for help with a simple thing like makeup. Just another question that you should ask yourself whether it's true or not; does or did your mom ever wear make up? If she did or still does then why does it make it right for her to wear make up? Because she's older? so what? Most women look for some form of "beauty enhancer", young or old.

i had this problem also when i was 12. im 16 now. i think you should go online and and get a bunch of pictures of girls your age who wear makeup. make sure they are wearing natural looking makeup! no dark eyeliner or heavy eyeshadow and things like that. if you show her that wearing makeup doesnt mean you have to look like a clown, she might consider it.she might start of little like ok you could start off with a little mascara or something. if she lets you waer a little, dont over do it, because then she will never trust you with makeup again. just start off little, and show her pictures of looks you would like to try. she just might say yes. you'd be surprised=]
Hope i helped

I started wearing makeup when I was 12 like you. Not a lot, just eyeliner and lip gloss. I probably did it really bad though! You should get someone to show you how to apply it before you start to wear it.

I don't think you should be allowed to wear alot of makeup. However I do think it's ok for you to wear some eyeshadow and lipgloss but don't wear foundation, eyeliner, and all that other stuff until highschool. And yes of course respect your mom's wishes if she doesn't want you to wear makeup, don't. But definatly talk to her about it.

I am in collage so I remember how you feel. I started wearing a little lip gloss when I was 12. When I was 15 I wore make up daily. so maybe ask your mom if you could wear a little make up for now.

It depends where you want to wear make up and how much of it.
If you don't wear it at school, I don't see the problem. I'm 18 and never worn make up to school, by choice. I just think that you go there to study and shouldn't be focusing on unessential things, like clothes, fashion etc.. then it becomes like a competition with other girls and you're constantly oberving how others dress and if you fit in.
Wear it on weekends, and don't wear too much.

No, natural beauty is better and if u do plan to wear some type of cosemetic u should use neutogena tinted moisturizer and revlon cream blush and a tinted lip gloss they do the same affect as makeup but it's better for your face

i didn't start wearing makeup until i was 15 and right now im 17 so i think that you should just wear a little lip gloss and maybe some concealer

well you are pretty young...and its not uncommon for parents to make girls waist until high school. but for special occasions than i dont see why you cant wear some natural makeup. maybe just a little eyeshadow and mascara and lipgloss.
