my mom keeps getting mad at me for wearing make up....all i wear is eyeshadow and eyeliner... once i wore mascara and she blew up... so i stop wearing mascara, and she was fine, she didnt care about me wearing make up anymore... as long as i just dont wear mascara... after a week my aunt came in and said i looked like a witch becuz of my make up... my mom got so mad that she yelled at me and threatened to kick me out of the house, and slapped me... what should i do? i need help, she can't even live up to her pride and stick up for me.... she thinks that if people think you look bad than you better do what ever you can to make them happy about your looks... i told her not to care what people think because its just plain stupid to be liked by some one that doesn't like your looks... people should care about your character and smartness but not looks... i mean i even get good grades at school and i think thats enough.

But judging by your question, I'd say you aren't old enough to live on your own.. So I'd cut down on the makeup, to make you and your mother more happier. You should never worry about working up to people's standards. Your mom you should care about though.. :) But if you really want to wear makeup, you could try and have a lady to lady conversation (you are a girl right? (: ) Well I hope everything works out. Hope I helped!
CollegeGirlNH answered Sunday January 30 2005, 10:32 am: You need to sit down with your mother and talk to it very politely so you two dont blow up at eachother. Ask her when she started wearing make up. Make compromises.. equalling out what you both want. The hint to make up is to look like your not wearing any at all and bring out your natural features. Remember that, and maybe your mother would accept that and you would be happy with the look you have.
sweetjewel answered Sunday January 30 2005, 10:20 am: you are so right... i hate when people do that. even my little sister in 6th grade wears make-up (im assuming your older than that) just tell your mom, im a growing lady/person and a lot of people wear make-up and i dont care what others think about me because i like the way i look and myself and i dont have to change myself for anyone but myself because the most important person for my to care about is me.
OR you could try to just lighten the eyeliner (not put it on so dark) and experiment with different color eyeshadows. (sorry is things are a little confusing) [ sweetjewel's advice column | Ask sweetjewel A Question ]

AllyKnows answered Sunday January 30 2005, 2:05 am: this one person before me said it all depends on how old you are and that is very true. if you are younger than 14 or so then yea you should totally stop wearing make up. that is still pretty young and its not necessary to wear makeup. if you are older that 14 or something than it may be better just to not wear make up very often or just wear it with your friends. if a family member like ur aunt for instance has come over just don't wear makeup. i know what you mean about the "care about the character" thing but this is different, this is your family and you should do what you can to listen to them. its not lying to ur parents necessarily if you dont wear it often around them. just try to please ur parents right now cuz you have to live with them the rest of your life and keep ur makeup amount minimal when you do wear it around them maybe you can just get rid of the eyeliner, it looks icky w/out mascara just wear a little foundation and blush and eye shadow as a start then gradually get more. everything should work out. hope it goes alright.

xx_me_xx answered Sunday January 30 2005, 1:14 am: well, it rlly depends on how old you are.. i mean.. if ure like 13 and ure wearing make-up... nd ure mom doesn't like it... stop... becuzz it may be "in-style" but did you know that wearing mascara makes ure eyelashes thinner and less dark... not when you put it on... but time after time of use.. and then ure eyelashes get abused by the chemical... ure rite tho.. ure mom shouldn't HIT YOU for that.. i mean jeez.. it`s MAKE-UP! but honestly.. if you still wanna wear make-up jus have it look natural.. maybe your mom will get used to it..
Solemnstar answered Sunday January 30 2005, 12:58 am: If your mom did that is'nt it child abuse you should probably report it to somebody.and you are right If you want to wear make-up then you should i mean its not really doing anything and who said witches are bad people [ Solemnstar's advice column | Ask Solemnstar A Question ]
