starting to wear makeup
Hi. I am going to be a freshman in high school this year and I want to start wearing makeup. Do I just start wearing it one day, or do I have to ask for my mom's permission? I think I should tell my mom that I want to, but I don't know how to go about doing it. Thanks!

Hi :)
First of all, I want to thank you for asking me this question. I'm flattered. If you want to start wearing makeup, I wouldn't suggest just caking on foundation or blush and loading on eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. When first starting to wear makeup, you should wear some a little at a time and take it slow. Start off by wearing light foundation. [preferrably not liquid unless you have acne] And just a little bit of rosy blush. For your eyes, I would suggest Almay intense i-color. I suggest this to everyone, but just because it's the best you can buy. I'm sure you've seen the commercials on it, or seen it in stores. You just use the coordinated eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. It's not to dark, so it looks really good.
As for asking your mom, if you plan on using your mom's makeup I would probably ask for permission. If you're using your own, then there is no reason to, unless you're afraid your mom will be angry. Just put light colors on one day, and ask what your mom thinks. She should be ok with the idea, because you are going into highschool.
If you have any questions about how to apply makeup, or anything else, just ask.

I began to experiment with make up when I was in sixth grade. I never asked for anyone's permission. I figure since nobody stopped me, that nobody cared. That might not be the case at your house. I'm not sure, I don't live there. Since I am unfamiliar with the way your Mother runs things, I suggest you talk with her and let her know your desire. Some Mothers have a heart attack over a surpise like that.
It might also be to your benefit. If she's okay with the idea of letting you wear make up, I'm sure she'll be willing to take you out to buy a few items, or perhaps supply you with some of hers. She's been a female for many years. Chances are she is familiar with all of this by now. She'll probably have great tips.
If you plan on consulting her, why not come right out and ask it? It's not an embarrassing thing. Some girls are embarrassed when they get their first menstrual cycle, and I can understand that. But make up? That's nothing to be ashamed of. Just catch her at a good moment and say something along the lines of, "Hey, Mom? I'm going into nineth grade this fall. High school. I was wondering if it would be okay if I start wearing make up? What do you think? Can you help me out?"
Trust me, she will be glad you asked. I think it will also show a great sign of maturity. Something like make up is really a big step in life, though it may not seem like it to some. If she sees that you're willing to approach her for her opinion and approval, she will greatly appreciate that respect, and likely return it. Possibly with some more privileges.
