Wearing makeup without parents knowing
Hi there. You answered a previous question about how I could try different things so I could get the look that I want. Your the only one to give me any useful advice, so I wanted to ask; I'm going to try buying a little bit of natural makeup today, but how can I use it without my parents finding out. I am homeschooled and the only person I trust completely with keeping this secret is my best friend. She wears natural makeup regularly. She also lives about 40 mins away, so it would be hard to let her hold the makeup to where I can still use it. When I go to college, there should be someone that could hold my makeup for me so I can use it at school without my parents finding out, but I still have another year of high school before college, and want to get some natural makeup before summer. So far I've been able to get lip color without them noticing because I've had a history with very chapped lips and people would always say it looked like I was wearing lip stick. So wearing a little lip color wasn't very noticeable to my parents. The reason they don't let me wear makeup is because of the religious group we are in. Years ago, the people of my religion wouldn't wear makeup or cut their hair, but not since times are changing every girl in my religion does it. My parents are the only ones who won't allow it. They know everyone else is doing it, and just looks down on them for that fact. But sometime in the morning I have dark circles under my eyes, because I have often suffered with extremely bad insomnia. My two dogs and my neighbors dog has kept me up a lot, but lately I've finally been able to sleep normally. When I do have trouble tho, I have dark circles under my eyes, and parts of my face seems redder than normal, and once in a while I'll have a small red speck on my face. Also, in the morning, I only have a very few freckles, but they become noticeable in the mornings. Come noon, everything is fine again (most of the time), but I don't want stuff on my face whether I'm going somewhere that morning or not. How can I buy the makeup without my mom or sister catching me looking at it today (since we will be in the same store, just split up), and how can I keep the makeup hidden from my parents?

Ok well since your home schooled you probably done leave the house that often then right? so who would there be to wear make up FOR besides yourself? make up is usually to make yourself look presentable for others. i wear it and honestly it can get expensive so its best to just wear it when your about to go out to see people or to a party.
do your parents look through your purse or bag alot? is there a secret pocket inside the lining of the bag you could keep it in so even if they took a quick look they wouldnt know? you could always buy a purse while your at the store with them and just say you need a new purse and your old one is messed up and filthy looking and then split off while at the store and go look for one that has dark or black lining on the inside of the bag and then see if it has a small secret pocket that has a zipper. Thats your best chance at being able to buy make up PERIOD and be able to have some place at your house to keep it. just make sure no one knows about the secret pocket.
if you cant find a purse that has one then you can cut the lining at the top of the purse yourself at home and youll have the whole purse to store make up in between the lining instead of just a small secret pocket. ; )
i have the same issue with it looking like im wearing lipstick because i have notoriously chapped lips all the time. you could buy a lip gloss to enhance the color to your lips you naturally have already and youd be able to pass it off as chap stick.
theres some make ups like foundations that disquise themselves as "sunscreen" for the face. tell your mom that you need a sunscreen that can go on your face thats not really oily like reg. sunscreen is and is gentle and wont make you brake out. that alone would be a good reason for going into the sunscreen isle at the store with her if you have to, then just continue to insist that your NOT looking for make up your looking for sunscreen for your FACE and that you dont really have a choice on walking into the make up isle because thats where they keep it. thats no ones fault thats just how they stock the store. thats out of your control, so she will have no reason to complain or say your trying to buy make up.
have you ever tried wearing regular sunscreen on your face?? its oily, and thick, and when it gets hot and runs, it can get in your eyes and burn really badly. tell her that. and that regular sunscreen isnt meant for delicate facial skin. ; )
you dont have to be "into make up" to just buy some decent sunscreen that is meant for you face. just because your in that isle doesnt mean youve all the sudden turned on your religion. if you have to put your foot down by telling her that your refuse to wear reg. sunscreen on your face then do it.
but for you situation the purse thing would be the best way to go if you need to hide make up. Just make sure your parents from fly off the handle and go try to search your room and then suspect the bag because if they inspect in too closely they may find the make up youve purchased.
while your split off from her in the store go buy the make up you want and then throw the bag and the receipt away and put the make up in the new purse before you meet back up with her. Your "just gonna go check out the purses because you need a decent one and youll be right back"
just make sure she doesnt want to look inside the bag when you meet back up with her of she'll find the make up you just bought.
