Answer 1

"PLEASE READ IT WILL REALLY HELP YOU I PROMISE"

it' alright once you put make up on you can't stop wearing it, and that's not good, because that's what ghappened to me when I was 8, and i'm 12 now,...maybe try some brown powder for beige what ever your skin color is, because it's powder, and you can't go wrong, trust me now, and then for the lips, try to wear some lip gloss, nothing's wrong with that, technically it's not really MAKE UP, MAKE UP, kind of make up, she's PRBALLY, talking about, and for the eyelashes try some clear mascara, no one will ever know, try it, it's what i'm about to switch to. Good Luck, girl just be yourself, be beautiful, nobody can stop you from being yourself! Good Luck

Answer 2

I wouldnt reccommend sneaking makeup... honestly its not worth it. What I would do is look around online and find articles about how to naturally work with what you have. There are plenty of ways to make yourself look pretty without wearing makeup. Maybe you could try some kind of lip gloss or something too.

For your hair, you just need to learn to work with what you have. Straightening your hair just makes it look funny anyway alot of times... if its curly then let it curl and find a gel or product made for that type of hair. People will be jealous.

I am in college and wear makeup to class about half the time. I still feel ok about myself regardless of how i look. Just be confident, thats how you make a good impression anyway :) Good luck at your new school!

Answer 3

If you're still under the age of 18, you'd better do as your mom says. Maybe you can convince her to at least let you try some lipgloss or light coverage for acne if it's necessary, but don't push it. You really don't need makeup to make a good impression. I didn't start wearing makeup until I was 18--so I made it through Junior High and High School without cosmetics. I'm 23 now and in college and that "impression" that I made wasn't until I showed the school my HS Diploma and my capabilities. Your peers won't really care either. As for guys. . . really, never mind them; your mom's trust is more important.

Answer 4

Well to answer some what of ur question... in staighten ur hair. Wash you hair until you like it. After rap in a towel for about 5 minutes at the most. After that blow dry and then comb. Make up isnt the worst thing. Just explain to ur mom that growing up is one of those things were parents need to let go. Now depending on your age, Sit your mom down and say. " Mom, i am growing up, i think that it is about time i have more responablity, along with that I think as a growing girl i should be able to wear atleast a little bit of make up",

Answer 5

Okay, relax. I am 12 years old and i wear mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow. how do i do it? I have 3 plans:

1.Ok, here's the 1st plan. First, when your birthday comes around, ask one of your good friends to PLEASE get you eyeshadow or some type of makeup for your birthday. That's exactly what i did. Now, you have eyeshadow, and your mom will probably say you can wear that, because its a birthday present.

2. This plan will only work if most of your friends wear makeup. Talk to your mom and tell her that you would really like to wear a little bit of makeup, also because most of your friends wear it.

3. If all else fails, use this plan. write your mom a sypathetic letter (the longer the better) about please letting you wear makeup. Thats how I got to shave my legs!

Answer 6

I don't know how old you are, but I would never advise sneaking makeup.
What you can do is talk to your mom. You never want to lose your mothers trust.
Start with a sheer tinted gloss. or what about an all in one product? they make them. you can use it as a TINT for lips,cheeks and eyes.
One thing I cannot stress enough is to use an eyelash curler..it opens up your eyes. and you can even put some vaseline on your eyelashes.
If you have an acne problem then mom needs to listen and you need to tell her about how this is affecting your confidence.

Answer 7

I think you should try small and let her get use to it... like wear gloss soft colors try clear mascara and water proof so if you have to take it off you can without a mess pluck a lil bit of ur eyebrows if you haven't done it already. This is something ur going to have to push for cuz she is not trying to understand.

*****This advise only applies to people 15 and older!! if ur younger then that she has reasons why she dont let you so just wait.

Answer 8

Maybe you don`t need makeup.

Or try using basic makeup like lipgloss. And she`ll go "Oh thats nice." and if you keep using it, she`ll get used to it. And then it will seem natural to her. Don`t use heavy-duty makeup. Just something that looks natural.

Brown or clear mascara and a thin kohl eye liner would do !

Answer 9

i think you should talk with your mom about how you would wear clear mascara and maybe a soft pink shadow also i think i nude lip would make her feel better too

for your hair, i think you should beeggg your mom to let you straighten it o it looks so much better if your hair ISNT curly or is ugly curly if its cute curly curly then keep it curly its just when you dont do anything to it and its just sitting there with bumps and random waves, you look like a nerd trust me you will look TONS better at your new school with my ideas

Answer 10

Just wait. Make-up is something that hide your true beauty. Be comfortable in your own skin and don't let the media pressure you into trying to look plastic. Natural is much more beautiful. My one friend has never worn make up (she's now 17) and she has all of the guys after her. Trust me, avoid make-up. It is the downfall of this time period.
