When should I be able to wear makeup?

Question

I'm 13 years old, and everyone's wearing makeup these days.

I feel my mom is being unfair, not letting me wear makeup. She only lets me have lipgloss on... What's your opinion?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I wasn't allowed to wear it until I was 8th grade. Try to talk to your mom in to taking your makeup step by step, the way I got my mom to let me try makeup was try one thing at a time. For 13, you shouldn't you be wearing a lot of makeup. Just ask her if you can start with mascara or a light eyeshadow that is not TOO dark. Hope this helps :]

Answer 2

well she shud atleast let you wear makeup thats subtle, remember makeup is supposed to enchance your natural features

Answer 3

my mom let me start when i was 10 or 11. she is very willing to let me wear whatever kinda makeup i want because she likes the looks tht i choose and how i apply them. try tlking 2 ur mom and ask her if u can wear stuff like light eyeshadows tht compliment your eye color and a little bit of foundation (if u need it!) also mayb a few  coats of mascara-try brownish shades for blue eyes

Answer 4

i feel that that is too young but being realistic, i remember wanting to wear makeup when i was 12. and it is very true that girls your age are wearing makeup. why dont you and your mother come across a look that is acceptable to you both? besides, the women that wear makeup usually wear it to look like they arent wearing any at all. but lots of women over do it and end up looking S****y. maybe thats what your mother is afriad will happen if you start. so just talk to her and ask her to help put makeup on you that will be appropriate for you.  

Answer 5

my mom lets me and I'm 13

Answer 6

i'm 16 and i don't wear makeup. i don't think there's a need too unless it's a special occasion. most younger girls i see now days cake their face with makeup and i find it rather unappealing.

Answer 7

I was wearing make-up at your age.  The key is finding a good look and not overdoing it.  Maybe you can find some pictures of subtle natural looks that you like and show those to your mom.  Maybe once she sees what you are interested in, she will relax her rules a little and even help you find the right products for that look.

Answer 8

at 13 you are so pretty without make up believe me , now i realize that the natural is way better than fake

you should use anti-acne lotions , and masks for your hair , get some cute clothes and always take care of how you look , make up don't makes u look prettier

Answer 9

well she's right

maybe mascara is fine

but not blush or foundation

when u get older, u'll have a wrinkly face

Answer 10

well i started wearing make up in 6th grade because i started to break out at a young age. it depends if you have no flaws to cover up and you are naturally beautiful then you have no need to ever wear makeup. make up is only to enhance beauty not create it. your mom just doesnt want you to grow up too fast.  

Answer 11

That's when I started playing with makeup 12 or 13.

Answer 12

yea me too. its unfair but im sure next year she will loosen up and let you

Answer 13

Answer 14

I started wearing makeup when i was your age, im now 15. My mum didnt really want me wearing it as she doesnt even where makeup her self. I think the only reason i wanted to wear makeup was because my friends wore it. your mums right though....its ok to wear a little makeup, i think you sould only wear foundation, concealer etc if you must. I didnt have bad skin myself but i regret it now because i get alot more spots from wearing the stuff! i only wear foundation and mascara. you dont want to be looking like a barbie like some girls you see....

Answer 15

you should at least wear all the makeup u want by 9th grade

you should wear basic makeup in middle school

if your moms super stricted about tht you should at least 2 other makeups
