Don't be scared to ask about makeup! It's just like asking for pads on your period, but if your scared about both, idk what to say! It's pretty easy to ask about makeup. It's just like asking for lip gloss or clothes! Just be sure to not use make-up as a mask! It's just for touch up! Check out my channel on youtube.com Type in the user name jollyrancher996, and go to beauty tips girl talk and two minute face. It talks about makeup, and how to apply a quick amount on without rushing or being messy with it. Check out all my other videos on youtube!

Well you just gotta break the ice with your mom. But since it is your first time wearing make-up, take it easy and go natural. I just got out of 6th grade and i wear oil control powder, loose blush, mascara, a little bit of eyeliner, and very subtle lip gloss. I was scared to tell my mom about this too but if you just say you want to enhance your features instead of covering them up I'm sure she will understand. Good Luck!

I don't wear makeup, but I can always wear lip gloss, and clear mascara, that makes your lashes look longer even tho i dont need it, and doesnt look like you're a raccoon like a girl does in my class

i dont wear makeup...the only thing i would ever want to wear is mascara bacause i have really short eyelashes but i really dont see why anyone would like to wear so much makeup like some people do. alot of girls at my school that wear foundation or whatever it is, have like a shade that doesnt match their skin tone at all and looks really fake! im perfectly happy with how i look and i dont need makeup to love my face my friend thinks i dont need to either and that make me happy

u know what's weird here is that my mom sometimes tells me to put on makeup but i hate wearing makeup . makes my face fell sticky :/
by gurrumina on 6/15/2011 10:45:35 PM
Just tell her that its time. I did that with my mom and after she got used to it she was fine. Just start out really basic and dont go all out because if you go crazy with it she may be less accepting of it. She went through it when she was growing up.

Don't bring it up, just be all hey I want to try something when you're at a grocery store and pick a random mascara out. Put it in the cart. That's what I did. I remember my first makeup... I always used my older sisters.

Ask your mom if she could go to the mall with you and while your there ask nicely if you could go to sephora and then ask if you could buy mascera. Thats what I did and my mom was perfectly fine with it.

ive been wearing mascara since 6th grade and it doesnt "completly cover my face". why does everyone think that just bc your wearing a teeny bit of make up on your eyes that your fake or covering your inner beauty? its not like we wear a ridiculous amount of concealer and blush too.

tokyogirl98, yeah, I know what you mean... I would wear like concealer too... if I need it. But not all of my friends wear make up... but like everyone else in my grade does... well most of them. And you can't see most of their make up.. except for the girls who don't have any friends and try to make themselves feel like the others. I really don't think I need make up... I have really long and dark eyelashes, and I barely get acne.

My class actually grows up really fast. I started shaving my legs in 5th grade, not even needing to. I started wearing makeup in the summer of sixth grade. jennal923, I actually disagree with you alot haha...Just because I wear makeup doesn't mean I'm unhappy with myself, I'm just giving myself a self confidence boost. I think I'm at good medium, I wear mascara and sometimes eyeliner to school (I have small eyes, it helps.) and some concealer if I have any pimples that need covering. Some girls wear blue mascara and foundation and eyeshadow and all that stuff to school, and everyone thinks shes fake. So I say if you keep it controlled, makeup can be a great thing.
by Tokyogirl98 on 6/15/2011 11:33:59 AM
when I wanted to wear makeup, I made my mom a really cute card and on the inside I wrote her a note asking if I could wear makeup. She liked the card so much she taped it closed and showed evryone! She talked to my dad about it and they said I could wear mascara, a little colored lipgloss or eyeshadow, and concealer. I usually just wear mascara and concealer though because I have short thin lashes and mild acne. Sometimes when I go out I wear some Sally Hansen spray foundation, which is absolutely AMAZING! Oh and I did the same thing when I asked my mom if I could shave my legs. It works really well! (:
by thecupcakequeen on 6/15/2011 11:17:42 AM
Why would you want to wear make up? Just because you see other girls wearing make up, you shouldn't feel left out and think that wearing make up is mandatory in growing up or something.. Girl, I bet you are beautiful inside and outtt, even with those short eyelashes. Just don't completely cake yourself in make up and make "a whole new you." Cause then no one can see your real beauty.

I don't like to wear makeup! It just makes me feel too un natural, and, it actually makes me look worse, even if i put it on right haha! my mom only wears mascara and eyeliner (which i dont even think she needs, but its her face, she can do whatever she wants haha)
by oceanlover69 on 6/15/2011 9:25:49 AM
