My mom won't let me wear makeup!?

Question

okay, so i am going into jr high and i want to wear makeup cuz i am ugly without it but my mom wont let me, so i went out and bought some mascara and eyeliner and i figured i could put it on at school and wipe it off after school and it would be fine. so i hid it in the back of my bottom desk droor in a little heart box and covered it in magazines. it was totally hidden! but then my mom went into my room and started snoopind around and cleaning and i HATE it when she does this and she found it! how could she find it? what the h**l is she doing in my room? how do i make her stop, and how can i get my BRAND NEW makeup back?

and don't tell me that i'm not old enuff to wear makeup cuz i bought it for myself so i'm old enuff to wear it. so if ur gonna say i'm not old enuff then just don't answer kay?

Answer 1

Well, there's really nothing you can do about it. The only thing I can think of is talking to ur mom, maybe you can get to an agreement with her; like, maybe lite make-up (as an soft lipstick, a lil bit of mascara) nothing too radical. I went trough the same...I was 13 when I started to wear make-up, my mom would hate it!!! She even talked to my administrator so she would keep an eye on me sneaking make-up to the school! But I talk to her and she said that as long as the make-up was discreet, she would try to be more open-minded.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

umm, first you need to sit down with her and let her know that you dont like her snooping aorund in your room could she please respect your privacy? i bet if you promised to keep your room moderatly clean she wouldnt go in there to clean all the time.  then you can explain to her that you wouldnt put a ton of makeup on, just a teensy bit to enhance your natural beauty. maybe ask her for advice? i hope i helped

Answer 5

It's so much better to negotiate with your mom than to fight.  She's just worried that her little girl will grow up too fast and miss out on being a junior high girl.

Compromise is the key.  Sneaking and lying was a bad way to start but I understand why you did.  It still doesn't make it right.  

Your mom found the makeup, you must have known it was a possibility or you wouldn't have hid it so well.  

Tell her you are sorry, that you love her, but you feel like you are out of place at school without makeup.  Tell her the kids call you the Amish girl. Promise(and KEEP the promise) that you will just wear a little make up.  Appropriate for your age.  That she can help you choose.

It will be either that or nothing.  Make friends with your mom or be doomed to fight through your whole teenagerhood!

Answer 6

tell her its your time and your choice

snoop through her room to get it back its what she did to you;

tell her you can choose what you do to your face considering its yours.

& to leave you alone and accept what you want to wear

Answer 7

try making a compromise with your mom, she has to have a rational reason why she won't let you wear makeup. she is probably afraid that you'll wear too much and look bad, so assure her that you'll keep it natural. i was in the same situation and this worked for me! hope i helped! :)

Answer 8

thats werid im 12 going to be 13 and i wear some.

you should hide it like in a tampon box haha. or somewhere really werid or somewhere she would never looooooook.

if you dont want her to know try to wear an eyeshadow that loooks just a little bit different than your actuall skin collor. and maybe brown eyeliner?

hope this helps :]

Answer 9

Just talk to your mom about it. Tell her that you really want to wear make-up and there's nothing wrong with doing that. Or would she rather you do it behind her back. Tell her you will use it with or without her permission. I don't see what's so wrong with you using make up. Ask to have it back. She wants the best for you, and wearing make-up makes you age faster. Don't be mad at her for wanting what's best for you.  

Answer 10

wow i think ur old enough and its just eyeliner and mascara just tell her tht its mascara and eyeliner ur mom may think ur too young, but ur not but teens shuldnt wear powder and blush it ruins the skin, but nuthin is wrong with eyeliner and mascara,and its not like its gnna hurt you so tell ur mom how u feel,does she check ur backpack??? if she doesnt hide it there or hide it in ur books.Hope I Helped!

Answer 11

well, i don't know when jr high starts for you, so i'm not going to say you're too young. just talk to your mom and find out why she doesn't want you to wear makeup. talk to her and see if saying you won't wear to much makeup works.

Answer 12

well, go dig around in her stuff and steal it back....see how she likes that. Keep it in your school bag or something. or in your locker. then you can just go a little earlier to school to put it on.

Answer 13

Your mom probably thinks that you want to wear lots of make-up. Show her some pictures that have examples of people with simple make-up on.  This will show her that just because you wear make-up doesn't mean you have to look like you wear a ton, it can look natural. If that doesn't work, try to compromise with her. Talk to her and be like "Okay how about you just let me just wear eyeliner and lip gloss." Something like that. And if that doesn't work you can respect your mother's wishes or just hide your make-up in your locker at school. Good luck!

Answer 14

She was probably suspicious that you had make-up or something that you were hidding, you can try telling her that you don't appreciate her looking threw your things, but she is your mother so you cant just tell her to stop!. Okay and well you must be in like what 6th or 7th grade right? You should try asking politely for your make-up back and ask her again if you could wear it and tell her that your only going to be applying very little amount. And if she doesn't let you then hey your just going to have to wait until your older. I feel Sorry for you =/

Good luck! and hope i helped.

* oH and a tip for you, if she does let you:

   Do apply very little make-up and don't over do it! kay? lol

Answer 15

To be honest with you, and I ALMOST feel guilty for saying this, but I'm going to side with you on this one. I do feel that a girl in Jr. High school is old enough to wear at least a little make-up. I also don't think its right for your mom to be snooping in your room. I know technically it's her house, but you deserve your privacy.

As far as getting it back, you probably didn't score any points in that you bought it when she said you couldn't wear it. Apologize for doing that(it will show your maturity). But then tell her why you want to wear it, but don't be whiny. (I'm not saying you are by the way). And if it would be helpful, ask her to help you with it. It could be a mother/daughter bonding thing.

Answer 16

Talk to your mom, letting her know how you feel. Explain to her that you feel more confident and prettier when you wear make-up. Be mature, though! Your mom most likley won't give you back your make-up if you are acting like a little girl (I'm not being mean, but you see my point, right?). Just act calm, tell her the reasons why you want to wear it and that you paid a lot of money for the make-up. Hopefully she'll give it back to you, but if she doesn't then she doesn't. That's all there is to it! Your mom has control over you, so you'll just have to accpet it as hard as it is. Just be mature. The more mature you are, the sooner you'll get your make-up back!

Answer 17

Maybe she somehow heard of your new purchases and went in looking for them. If you hadn't intended on deceiving her you probably wouldn't have to worry about it. Just because you "bought it for yourself" doesn't make you old enough to wear it. You're probably old enough to wear it when you can talk to your mother about how you're feeling and maybe working out a compromise rather than attempting to go behind her back.
