How Can I Get My Mom To Let Me Wear Makeup?!?

Question

Alrite, so im about to start High School as a freshman (9th grade) and i want to wear makeup.

The only problem, convincing my mom.

Im 14 and only allowed to wear lipgloss and foundation.

I want her to let me wear a little bit of eyeliner and mascara, but im just not sure how to ask her.

I need help on ways to try and convince her..so she will finally let me use it.

Thanks for your help! :]

Answer 1

You're 14. You're too young to wear makeup.

Your mother's a very smart woman to not let you wear makeup to school.

Answer 2

don't wear it at home

If she won't let you, then she won't let you

sounds like your mom is a though woman.

I never had to convinced anyone to let me do such a thing.

My mom even encouraged me to do it at that age.

There is nothing wrong with that

By this time your mom should already have talked to you about it.

You know, the mom -daughter talk.

she is supposed to teach you how to do it.

Answer 3

tell her that you dont wanna look at pale as her. something psychological will work. if u say something like MOM you're so pale without make up and i don't want to look like you. sure it would hurt her, but it'll work. haha

Answer 4

tell her that  you want to look your best for high school and to express yourself.

as long as your make up looks natural it shouldn't be a problem

Answer 5

My gosh just ask. If she'll let you wear foundation, then she will probably let you wear anything else. Tell her that she can approve your makeup before you go to school so she see's you don't look like a little hoochie mamma with heavy eyeliner and spider eyelashes.

Answer 6

find the right time to bring it up then ask her to let you wear a little eye makeup. Tell her you won't overdo it and tell her you just want to look nice for high school. Good luck hope I helped <3

Answer 7

I'm 14 too, and I just started as a freshman. I asked my mom if as long as my makeup looks natural, with only a little noticeable, I could wear it. You could start from there.  

Answer 8

Tell her how some girls sneak it on at school

one of my moms friends told her that when i was trying to get her to let me wear make up around that age and she decided she didnt want me to go behind her back so she let me wear it  

Answer 9

tell her its your high school year;

and your not trying to "cake" your makeup on, you just want to be able to look your best, but trust me after a while, you'll grow tired of it, and look at it as a chore..

like wearing a bra, remember when we were alll excited to wear a bra? well now, i feel like it's a chore, i wish i was never excited to and wore them before i had to.

also bring up the fact that you could be going behind her back to wear it, and instead your being mature enough to ask again [:

it should work.

Answer 10

idk my mom bought me eyeliner n mascara wen i was 11

Answer 11

Well you can say it's not to impress guys ( because some parents think that and therefore don't let you) and tell her that yo want to change it up, freshen it up and look more mature. A little bit of mascara makes your eyes pop so you can tell her you want to show a differnt side of you.

good luck!

answer mine please?

Answer 12

Okay - Lemme tell you, you don't want people in your high school to know that you wear makeup - it's best to appear "naturally pretty" if you are so concerned with beauty.  If your eyebrows are tweezed/filled in to perfection then you don't need mascara because people will focus more on on your eyebrows (and you won't have to beg your mom to let you wear mascara) and tweezing your eyebrows is not adding anything to your face.  hm... you could ask her to let you wear eyeliner I mean it's not that bad if it matches the color of your eyelashes and it's only a thin line right?  And no, I don't think 14 is too young to wear make-up because it's way better than going out and getting pregnant at that age like many other girls...

Or you could just be happy with you natural beauty... Good Luck!

Answer 13

You are way too young to be wearing makeup.

Answer 14

tell her some day when u too are alone say that u wanna show her sometihng then go into the bathroom pput just a little bit of eyeline and put mascara and say this is wat i wanna do in highschool i wont go overboard on it or tell her can i show u how i wanna wear makeup and then do that or if she still doesnt let u its because when u wear makeup at a young age when u get older it al starts to wrinkle!! have u ever noticed how ppl have questions that say i have wrinkles and i am only 14 its because they wear makeup!! my moms friends daughter wanted to and she didnt let her and her other riends did and now they are lyk 30 and they look 40 and she looks 20 !!!

Answer 15

i told my mom that i'll be responsible with it, i won't wear to much and if your mom wears makeup like my mom does i told her that i should to. she said okay and now i wear makeup!

Answer 16

Just ask her. If she says no, then don't wear it. Wait for a little bit, a few months, and then ask her again. She might be happy with you for following her wishes, and let you. Until then, foundation and lipgloss is a good start!

Answer 17

Your mom doesn't want you to wear makeup because it damages your skin.

You really should wait until your older to wear makeup!!

Answer 18

dont wear it, cause when u get older it will make u look really old.  

Answer 19

first off, when you are asking her, don't whine.  Don't use the "but everyone else does!!" excuse.  mom's never buy that.  prove that you can be responsible, and tell her about some of the ideas that you have.  a good way to start with mascara is by using clear mascara.  you won't be able to tell much of a difference at first, but it is a good start.  tell your mom why you want to use it.  once she sees that you  won't overdo it, she will probably gradually let you get more.  good luck!

Answer 20

if you really want to wear makeup...beacuse your olny 14 just use mascara.  i'm sure that you could compromise with that :)
