l3fty14 answered Monday June 20 2005, 3:53 pm: okay.. well if your gonna wear make-up.. no one says u have to wear eye shadow.. if its that big of a deal that you feel like you HAVE to wear it, then just put a little powder and mascara on.. if your mom STILL wont let you, let her know why you want to wear it. She probably isnt letting you because she doesnt want you going out looking like a scank with too much on.. Show her that your not going to pile and cake it on and you just want to look pretty! lol..

SxyLilPoo47 answered Monday June 20 2005, 2:34 pm: Hunni,
Tell ur mom that she is waaaaaay too overprotective(cuz she is) or get some money buy the earrings and make and put on the makeup and earings at school in the morning...
LoveNJstyle answered Monday June 20 2005, 2:25 pm: my friend had that problem and she wasnt allowed to wear make up until she turned 13. maybe you should ask your mom if that can be a privilege you get when you turn 14 (im hoping you are over 13). make up is not that great when you are young..if you wait then you will have a better complexion when you do wear it and it will instantly re-invent you instead of having to try multiple new things to make yourself over. hoops arent really in style anymore...long and chandelier ones are. dont do somthing just because everyone else is...not worth it. if you want to just get a confidence boost, pinch your cheeks to make them rosy, curl your eyelashes and use vaseline as mascara and/or lipgloss. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
Shelly_x answered Monday June 20 2005, 1:58 pm: Tell your mum that everyone else is wearing earing and make-up. If she wears make-up and earing tell her that if she wears them then you should also be allowed!

xoxo_perfect1 answered Monday June 20 2005, 1:41 pm: you shouldn't sneak around behind your mom's back. you're going to be allowed to soon enough. your mom just doesn't want you growing up too fast. and you're not the only one who isn't wearing makeup! and makeup is just a pain in the butt to put on every day anyway.

HyperactiveMiss answered Monday June 20 2005, 1:35 pm: I'll tell you this... don't follow the crowd. At least in middle school. In high school it will get even worse.
I understand why your mom wouldn't want you wearing make up. You're just in middle school. I'm a freshman and I still don't need make up. I don't plan to wear make up until I'm in college or even later (except for like, proms of course :P). I know a lot of girls my age wear lots of make up by now, but personally I don't need it so why should I follow the crowd? Just tell me this. Why would you need make up anyway? You're not wrinkly or old...you're beautiful just the way you are; so why would you need make up? Wearing make up just makes people believe that's how you look. What will they think when you go without make up? So now you're going to have to wear make up every where, every day, for the rest of your life? Make up covers who you really are. It's like a mask. Don't you want a guy to love you for who you are? Plus, you'll have to spend lots of extra time and money, applying make up on all the time.
And if you're not going to listen to me, at least listen to this: Don't sneak around behind your mother's back. Sure it's wrong, but not only that. She WILL find out and you will LOSE her trust. That means it will take even LONGER for her to let you do what you want. So by being nice to your mom, and not sneaky, you can just talk to your mom. Eventually, she will see how mature you are and let you have some more freedom. You could strike out a deal with her if you're absolutely willing to wear make up. For example, if she lets you wear a little bit of make up on weekends you promise that'll be it. Things like that.
As for the earrings, maybe your mom may be going a little overboard. Just calmly explain to her why you want to wear earrings (If you don't even know why you want to wear earrings...why is it a problem then?). Again, you can make out deals with her. For example, if she lets you wear earrings, you'll promise not to wear provokative ones. Because honestly, I think big and/or long earrings look...ugh.
