    Just wait. DON'T go out and buy it yourself. You're still under your mothers roof, and you have to follow her rules. It sucks but it's the truth.

    You'll get in a lot of trouble if you do it, and she'll be even more strict. I know from experience.

    The trick is showing her you're mature and responsible. If you whine and sneak around, she'll see your immature.

  • What about just wearing mascara? I know your eye lashes are thick but it's kind of fun, and it's not too much makeup. In the end you should talk to her.

    You're still under your mother's roof (as many others have mentioned), which also means you're at that age where she has a say in your life, to protect you, etc.

    Be respectful, and besides, you're an individual, why be exactly like your friends?

    How about buy the makeup yourself and just wear it?

    If she grounds you for that, then that's her issue. I don't think that she has any right to actually punish you for doing something to yourself, since it's your body, and it isn't a permanent thing. It washes off.

    Start off with some light neutral (so close to your skin tone) shades of eyeshadow and a brown eyeliner and maybe mascara (since even if you have thick lashes, mascara will still make it all look more complete and clean)

    Or, just confront her about it. Ask her why she won't let you wear makeup, and ask for a justified reason - so nothing like "because I am your mother and I know waht is right" because that cannot honestly be justified. She may just be trying to hold on to your youth. no parent really likes seeing their kids grow up. Or maybe she's just too strict.

    The best way really is to confront her about it. I have no idea what this is like though, since for me everything was the opposite (my mom was almost like. pushing me to start wearing makeup, then I tried to hide my face once I did start wearing makeup because I felt weird around them)

    Im actually a mom myself and I would love to see more moms actually caring this much for their daughters. You are probably so beautiful that it is just not necessary! Meet Mark from avon has a teen line of face wash and makeup that is not harsh to your skin. You can find it on my site with free shipping. Maybe your mom is just worried about the makeup being bad for your skin, so just show her this and see what she says.

    What I did when I was little was put very very light makeup on and then gradually wore it darker and darker. My parents didn't notice. But trust me you will "get old" quick enough, don't worry about your Mom, you will look back and laugh about how you couldn't wear make up.

    talk to her about it. just start out small. Be like hey mom i was wondering if i could try wearing alittle eyeshadow.

    then after a while of that add on little things, like small amounts of eyeliner..then liquid eyeliner ect...and about the sleepover thing just invite ur friends over to your house...<33 best of luck

    Source(s): my mom was the same way bout makeup LOL
  • alot of moms are like that.it is ok.start just wearing very light eye shadow and eye liner and ask her how it looks .If she likes it thats a good thing.If it doesnt just wait a little bit longer.

    Your mom is being protective of you which I think is a good thing.

    Buy it and put it on after you leave the house.

    Then take it off before she sees you again, simple.
