Im in gr.8 and want to wear makeup so bad ! How can I get my mom to feel more open about makeup ?

Baby steps is all it takes.





Just ask first if you can wear eyeliner only on the bottom and lipgloss. and if you have a few imperfections just ask if you can get concealer and only use what you have to. then eventually ask if you can wear eyeliner [bottom only] and mascara with lipgloss and concealer/or/foundation. Then later ask if you can add a light nude shade of eyeshadow [with lil shimmer] like a pink and a cream color:)





apply the cream from lid to brow and then add the pink to your lid and blend with a kind of fluffy small brush :)





also note: dont ask about black eyeliner until waaay later. stay with brown :)








Hope that helped :)Im in gr.8 and want to wear makeup so bad ! How can I get my mom to feel more open about makeup ?
Talk to her about it. If you have makeup but your mom doesn't let you wear it out of the house demonstrate that you know how how to put it on. (this is usually the main thing - moms are worried you'll look like either a whore or a clown) If you don't have any ask your mom if the two of you can to a department store, like Khols, and have them show you what colors would look good on you and put it on you. (sometimes it helps if your mom can actually see you in makeup) Oh and NEVER wear makeup behind your mom's back. When she finds out, and she will, you will be in so much trouble and she won't trust you about anything again for a very long time. And don't push it on her every 10 minutes, you'll just wear out her patience.





Good luck!





Edit: Despite what omg.sara said, DO NOT say you're the only one who can't wear it or that you're miserable everyday because you can't. It's like saying ';I'll never ask for anything again!'; It's a lie and everyone knows it. Them letting you wear makeup is a maturity thing, show them that you're mature and responsible.Im in gr.8 and want to wear makeup so bad ! How can I get my mom to feel more open about makeup ?
im in 7th and i got mom to say yes by tellin her that i wouldnt use a lot and that it will make me look pretty and that it will show people that im getting to be a strong independent young woman and that i should be able to make some decisions that she wont like and that i will learn from them just like everyone else then she thought that i was ready and mature enough 4 makeup
well first of all, go wish her a happy mother's day :P :P





second of all, you don't need alot of makeup at your age but if you really wanted to i'd say a little concealer, mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss is good to experiment with. tell her you want to learn how to do it and that she can help you gradually start using it, instead of every day right away
well.. hmm..


I had this same problem with my father..


just sit your mother down and start talking about girl things..


and say that you think that you are mature enough to start wearing light eyeliner and a light mascara. see her reaction to that. and tell her that you would never even consdier doing it behind her back and thats why you were asking.


say something like all the other girls did it behind there parents back and they look trashey.


that you want her to teach you how to apply it.


[ even if you already know how]





hope it works!
i'm in 8th grade too and i had the same problem. just start out slow and ask her if she can teach you how to wear something subtle.





if it doesn't work than tell her that everyone else in your grade wears it, and you're the only one and you're miserable every day or something. aha
I went through the same problem. Suprisingly, after I finally was allowed to wear it, I didn't want to. My advice, don't wear it, you probably don't need it, and it sucks having to wash it off every night.
do what i do.





i but makeup without her knowing and take it to school. put the makeup on the school bathroom. then when you go back home go right into the bathroom and take it off.





[hope it works]
I would just ask to wear one item (I wore blush and snuck eyeshadow and mascara) and let her choose it with you.
Tell them that you want to look mature. Or make a deal, like if you get in the honor roll. It really depends on how strict your parents are :o
wow that sucks. and ur in grade 8! u should wear make-up. talk to ur mom and little by little wear a bit of make up.
you let your mum wear make-up to
i have the same problem, only its with my dad.....
