How do you tell your mom you want to wear makeup??
Question: Up until the end of 6th grade (elementry school) I totally dissed makeup and clothes and anything girly like that and dug myself a REALLY deep hole. Now I'm going into 9th grade and I really want to wear just some light makeup, like mascarra and eyeshadow. I really don't know how to tell my mom though because if I do then she and my two sisters will tease me relentlessly. If I don't though then I know I'll just be digging hole even deeper. My mom wears practially no makeup and laughs at girls who wear a lot. (Including my older sister) She's also told a lot of really random people that she think's I'll never wear makeup and I feel like I might be letting her down if I start to. I bought and experimented with it a little with a friend, but I took it off before anyone saw and only my little sister knew about it. Thank you for any advice!
Answers: You just need to go up to mom and say,' Mom, I am going into 9th grade now and I am starting to care more about my appearence......I wanted to brighten up my face and features more. And not to offend you, but if it is ok with you, I would like to start wearing a little make-up. I want you to understand that I am getting older, and things are starting to change about how I feel about wearing make-up, and I want to test it out.'
See what she says, and if she is still pushing a no, respect her wishes.
You can do anything you want when you move out. Lol. :)
Good luck girlie.
mom, i want to wear makeup. der.
Make up is not a big deal, just tell her you have been thinking about it and you want to wear a little make up. Maybe you can ask her to help you so she knows that you don't wanna wear to much...I am sure she won't mind either way.
Just be honest.
Well, tell her you feel different about it and that you feel you deserve to wear a little bit, just like her. And you shouldn't have to worry about your sisters, they're probably just jealous you will finally start using it. Maybe talk with someone you know who does and ask them what they did. Hope this helps. (:
uhmm, i never told her, i just started to wear makeup and she didnt really care anyways. just keep it natural
aw dont be scared! makeup is nothing to be embarrassed about. just tell your mom you want to try it out. it cant hurt anything and its not like you'll use it too much. makeup is fun and theres no harm in asking!(:
be yourself! tell your mom you want to wear makeup. even if you don't really need much makeup, it is a definite confidence booster...something essential for starting high school. just be like hey yo...i want to start wearing makeup. it's not that hard, and your mom will just have to get used to it. hope i helped!!
Ask her to show you how to apply it?
I don't think you should feel bad about wearing makeup....I have a sister that doesn't, and i don't think she ever will, but if she does, I will completely support her. If you are worried about your mom, ask her why she doesn't like makeup. I am sure she will tell you, and then you can tell her why you would like to wear makeup, tell her you don't want to wear alot, and even show her what kind of makeup you are planning on wearing. It might ease her a little to know it is basic stuff.
what i would do is wear a light foundation and some bare eye shadow with some light blush. talk to her all day if she tells you to wipe it off too bad, but my mom said good job with the make-up. and ever since then i wear foundation etc. try it. go to walgreens and buy some cheap make-up first just in case if says no. good luck!
well, you shouldn't feel like you're letting down your mother in anyway, it's your face, if you choose to wear make up go for it.
tell your mom that you know you sound hypocritical, but are choosing to wear light make up to accentuate your natural beauty. but honestly, it's not that way out of the normal, i'm sure she'll understand.
but look, wear make up for yourself. not to get attention.
i'm also going into ninth grade, and don't wear any make up, i find it utterly pointless, and plus, if you have sensitive skin, it can easily clog your pours, even if you wash your face before hand. (though many deny this)
point is, don't forget your real face, and your true beauty. but do as you please.
hope that helped =]
Sit down with your mom and tell her. You're in highschool and should be able to wear some makeup. Im a sophmore and the only makeup i wear is eyeshadow and mascara. Your mom probably knows that the no makeup thing was just a phase with you and she's waiting for you t grow out of it. And if she has a huge problem with it tell her you'll buy it with your own money. And as for your younger sisters making fun of you, they'll wanna wear makeup someday too. Just dont wear to much makeup no body likes that. : )
Hope i helped!!!
don't wear too much
i was never really a tomboy but i used to kinda hate make up too and didn't start wearing it til 10th grade
it was hella awkward at first but really its all in your head
i'm sure your mom will get over it and sisters will be sisters
um i went through the same problem...it involved a lot of arguing, hee hee
just go to the store by some make up w. ur friend ((pick a friend that does wear make up so she can tell u the best kind to get)) then go back to her house or ur house wicheva && the next time ur goin out put it on. but make sure u no how to do it rite like so everything is blended in on ur foundation && stuff && there r no clumps in ur mascara my advice is to get maybelline new york the red && black on bc that is the kind that i get && it doesn't clump at all its great but yea so just make sure u no how to put it on bc if u dont like some girls at my school && u just slop it on there it looks rele badd so ask one of ur friends to teach u how if u dont already. && just put it on the next time ur goin out. && ur mom will just have to deal w. it.
hope my advice helps. =]
It's okay that happened to me too. I just told my mom that if it's OK to just wear a little make-up. natural colors, so that it won't look like I am wearing too much.
I am in 9th grade too. Sometimes I just wear a little eyeshadow and blush. I see almost all the girls wearing eyeliner and other make-up, but I prefer to keep it more natural for now b/c I think that girls look finer with little make-up. Many doesn't even know how to put it on right. So yeah
But I really don't think that your sister should laugh at you b/c they wear make-up too. As you grow up you can wear a little more. But teenager's skin is so young and beautiful that they don't really need any make-up. You look really pretty! But it is your choice.
Maybe you could talk to your mom privately. She will be happy that your are growing up.:)
Haha I did the same thing. Dug myself into a hole. Lol.
When I wanted to though, I just started with very little and gradually made it more prominent. I still don't wear layers of makeup, but it's a little more noticeable. So just start out with mascara and lip gloss, then add eyeshadow, then blush, etc. If you do it like that, you probably won't even have to tell her.
If you're that afraid to ask her just simply but gradually reel yourself into asking her like say stuff at first like..
wow mascara must make your eyes really pretty huh?
n' stuff like that!
i know exactly how you feel! you said you bought some makeup, so just put a bit on and gradually put more on everyday for about a week. If she notices this and says something, say my friend bought me some as a gift and i didnt want to upset her by not wearing it.. or something like that. If she doesnt notice or say anything, your in the clear! What i did was when my mom left for work in the morning i had 10 minutes alone in the house. So i put on my makeup and whent to school, and i washed it off when i got home.
you could also go for 1 day to school, and since your in grade 9 ur in a new school. When you get home make a comment on how everyone i saw was wearing all of this makeup! , and so she wont take it the wrong way, act depressed that night, and complain about how you dont think you fit in b/c of this(even if you do!). And say your friends wear it and you should be fine
Good luck!
