For the moms: If you told your 14 year old daughter to not wear makeup but she did anyway, what would you do?

Question

My mom told me to not wear makeup until next summer

and i'm wearing foundation right now for the first time

and i LOVE it.

i don't want to take it off before she and my sister come back

what would you do if you came back from a nice dinner and realized your 14 year old daughter was wearing merely foundation, but it looked nice on her, but you specifically told her NO makeup

Answer 1

I'm 13, so if I were you, I would take it off. When your mom gets home, say "Listen mom, today I was just experimenting with make-up, just a little foundation. I think it looks really good on me. Would you reconsider the rule that I can't wear any make-up?" Then, if she doesn't let you, try something my friend does.

This will only work if you carry a purse. Buy those make-up remover wipes. So go to school or where ever you need to. Then before the end of the day, go into the bathroom and wipe off the make-up. It's really simple and your mom will not notice. Or you could do it before she gets home, if she isn't home when you get home from school.

Answer 2

im almost 15 and ive been wearing make up every day for almost 2 years now.

i wear....black eye liner, just on my lower lid.

black mascara

some foundation and a light purple lip gloss

it looks pretty

and my parents didnt mind.

Answer 3

I think makeup is appropriate at age 14.  To an extent.... Although, if your mom said not to wear it, then that is what she means.  You can tell your mom that you are interested in trying it.  Tell her that you would like to practice applying it at home.  Once she notices you making natural makeup choices, and how you look with it on, she may change her mind.  You need to talk to her about it and let her slowly agree to it.

Answer 4

I would first of all have to give a consequence for deliberately disobeying such as losing your make up and a grounding from friends for a week.  But afterward the consequence was carried out I would reconsider some foundation and light natural looking make up at that age.  I would give you some tips on how to apply light make up to enhance your natural beauty rather than wearing it heavily as you can see often on teenagers and other women.

Point blank, you disobeyed and a consequence is in order.  But if I were your mom, after your consequence was over I'd talk to you about wearing some light make up if appropriate.  A little foundation is certainly not a big deal to me at that age.  Be honest with your mom and let her know how you feel.  If you get a consequence realize that you did earn it and take it fairly.  Best wishes to you.

Answer 5

It wouldn't matter how nice it looked, really.  The fact that she went against what I specifically told her would land her in trouble.  I would confiscate the makeup, and she would probably be grounded.  Even if it looks nice, I suggest you wash it off before your mom gets home.

Answer 6

nothing girls this age love make up just teach her to put it on moderty not like a hooker

Answer 7

nothing...and what's wrong with a 14 yrs wearing makeup??? Are yo jealous of your daughter or something??? I find this quesiton strange and you for wanting to punish your child for being a child

Answer 8

I'd tell you to take the make-up off and I'd also make you give me the bottle of make-up that you used.  You'd probably be in some trouble of course.  As for closely looking at your face everytime I saw you..... no.  I'd be able to notice it rather quickly without having to closely exam your face.

Answer 9

I think you are plenty old enough to wear make up. Tell your mom it is part of being girly. I let my 11 yr.old wear light colors.  Why do you think they sell play make up for very little girls? Because it's fun, and we love it. Just don't put it on too dark. Growing up, dad was a preacher, and he wouldn't let us wear make up, but I snuck too and wore it.

Foundation is not enough, you need a little blush, and some tinted lip gloss, and maybe some sparkles on your eyes. I hope your mom changes her mind. I'm sure she is just worried about the boys seeing you differently. I know when I started wearing make up to school in 6th grade, everyone kept saying I was pretty. I liked that, because I never felt pretty before that.

Answer 10

well id tell her at 14 you are plenty old enough for make up, but if you are gonna wear it dont put it on around her, and she probably wont notice if your wearing it right it shouldnt be noticeable , wear it lightly youll be fine!

Answer 11

I'd be really mad that you disobeyed. Unless you have a very bad complexion there's no reason why you need to wear makeup already.

Answer 12

IM 13 YEARS OLD ND MY MOM DIDNT WANT MEH TO WEAR MAKEUP BUT I TRIED IT AND IT LOOKED GOOD ON MEH BUT U SRT TO BREAK OUT , SO U SHULD WAIT UNTIL UR A LIL BIT OLDER EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS NICE .,
