Do parents allow you to wear make-up ? I may only wear clear lip gloss !?

Question

Answer 1

You explain that they have sunblock in them to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays & that it is only to protect your skin from damage and your life cause of skin cancer dangers and all ;)

Answer 2

Well, when I was younger than you (11) I got really into wearing make-up mostly lipstick, I wasn't aloud, and so you know I did the put lipstick on at school and wash it off before I came home thing. Once my skin started to break out my mom didn't care that I wore concealer to cover up my break outs. Once I got into HS she gave in a little. But now I am 27 and I hardly wear make up at all, its like I got it out of my system.
Here is my suggestion. Next time you are at the mall, go to a department store and have one of the make up artist pick out a real natural looking gloss shade. Then next time you are out with your mom, show it to her so she can see that its not making you look older, just complimenting your natural beauty. Also another thing I used to do, was get a lip liner and some Vaseline and wear that together you can make your own lip gloss by blending. I don't think 14 is young to experiment with make up, I think that is the perfect age, you can get away with a lot of fun stuff like glitter for a day look. Also I think its Bobby Brown who has a book out called Teen Beauty, (I got it for my younger cousin, she was looking like trailer trash, I thought it would help) you can get it from the library and that has a lot of great tips for young skin and make up. If you're a good student and stay out of trouble I'm sure your mom will come around, it might just take a year or two, and who knows you might be like me and grow out of wanting to wear makeup? Hope this was a little helpful.

My mom didn't allow me to wear make up until I was 16. Though now I am a mom with a step daughter who knew nothing about make up I taught her at 15 how to wear make-up in the lightest touches to look natural. If your mom wears make up may be you might want to try and ask her to teach you to wear a little like she does. If you copy her way she may add a little more to your lip gloss, not to encourage you too much I believe 14 is young for make up but I also taught my neices at your age at their mothers request and approval. You have nothing to lose except having to weight another year or two. Good luck =) J

Answer 4

I'm 11 and I am allowed to wear clear mascara and lipgloss, and if I have a zit I'm allowed to wear concealer. I couldn't want or need anymore.
You don't need tinted lipgloss, because you're too young to need it-- teens and kids have naturally rosy lips and cheeks so you wouldn't need lipstick or blush...
Your mom probably doesn't want you to wear makeup that you don't need, because it cost more and is an unnessicary waste of time.
I must say it's a little overrated that you can't wear a little bit of clear mascara-- clear mascara doesn't run underneath your eyes and make you look goth and it's natural.
Talk to your mom and ask for just basic makeup.
You can tell her her it makes you happier and feel better, etc. (if that's true). Take your mom to Target or something into the makeup aisle and show her a piece of makeup that you would like to wear. Don't just say, "Mom, I want to wear eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, blush..." Tell her one at a time, over time.
Hope this helps,

Answer 5

When I was this age( I'm 17 now) I was allowed to wear makeup. This was my 8th grade year, which would have found me wearing gloss, blush, mascara, eyeliner and powder. Now, I realize I was fortunate enough to have no bad days, since I applied it lightly- a point you may way to emphasize to your mother. Makeup is usually about how much you apply, not how many products. Now, even though I'm older, I don't wear much more-concealer and curling my eyelashes, on top of what I wore in 8th grade, but it is enough, nonetheless. Ask your mother if you may wear a little blush, curl your eyelashes, wear clear mascara, and some eyeshadow. It will give you polish without being obvious, which is what your mom seems to fear. Good luck! ;.)

Answer 6

I was allowed to wear make up when I was 14, but I could never be bothered with it until I was well into my late teens, lol!

Your mum has make-up though, right? And if you have a little make up of your own, then you can always suggest giving your mum a make-over where you and your mum sit together and have a laugh painting each other up.

Its because she's your mum, and she still sees you as being her little girl. She loves you very much and could be worrying about you growing up. Thats kind of what my mum went through when I started going out with my friends more, buying my own clothes, etc when I was your age.

If this doesnt' relax your mum about your wearing make up (and I know that this might not go down very well!!) I had a friend whose mum used to stop her wearing make up. so, before going out, she'd put her make up in her bag, come over to my house, put it on and then we;d go out. Then, before going home, she'd come back to mine again and use make-up remover wipes to take it off. (Her mum or dad would then drive to my house and collect her, and be totally none the wiser that she'd gone out wearing make up.)

I'd first advise though, talk to your mum and even suggest a mad girly afternoon where you do each other's make up for fun. It might lighten her up a little.

Answer 7

Yeah the lipgloss thing is weird.
I know a girl whose parents dont let her paint her nails or wear any kind of makeup or face product including lip balm. She cant even wear her hair in certain ways. Shes 16.

People have it worse.

Try talking to your parents, tell your mom that you wont over do it and you'll be careful and not get an infection or share with others.

Or, just get over it.

Answer 8

I know it may be frustrating but your mum is right.You r still young and have plenty of time to wear make up.I think lip gloss is just fine.Your mum is only trying to do whats best for you.There are far too many chemicals being used in make up. You`d be surprised!It`s quite frightening actually.Be patient.!

Answer 9

My daughter is now 17. I let her start wearing makup when she was 13. I showed her how to apply it and made sure she didn't wear alot. The way she wears it now, you can't even tell she has any on. Good luck with your mom but consider that your mother probably thinks that you don't need makeup...that you have a natural beauty.

Answer 10

just be patient she'll let you add a few things slowly, just try adding soft neutral colors, or better yet ask her if she can take you to a place that give's free make-overs then she can see it from a professional point of view, and she'll feel like she is having a say in it, there is a proper way for 14 year old girls to apply make-up and it's best to learn from a professional, if you go buy what magazines look like you would look like a clown, you can get a free make-over at any department store, merle normal or have a mary kay party, and just remember to include your mother in the process, let her feel important in the decision making ok?

Answer 11

no your not to young but if you wait then you will have less problems with your skin in the future because make up can make you have breakouts on your face but if you take care of you skin and remember to wash it every day you should be ok. start light you use lip gloss try using a light lip lighter with your lip gloss it will look awsome.....
