AJ jess ^..^ agony aunthey hunnie i had a problem with this as well i think its because when we get to the stage of wearing makeup mums feel were growing up, but what i did was ask her if she could help show me how to use the makeup so as to look natural, dont worry about asking her she probably wants to help you xoxoxo

Love_is_all_youu_need agony auntHeya hun! I was about ur age when i started wearing make-up, my mother wasn't too keen at first... she just kept going on about how i didn't need it etc. But i was convinced i did, so kept on wearing it and have never stopped since. The thing is, once you start wearing the stuff you become addicted. So you'll never do without it. It may seem as though i'm putting you off, but i'm not - I know how it feels when everyone else is wearing it but you, plus it can give you that bit more self-confidence in your appearance. If ur desperate to start wearing make-up (even though i'm sure you look pretty without it) then by all means comfront your mother about it. She just has to realise that you're turning into a young lady now, and respect the fact that you want to experiment with these sort of things. Explain it all to her, and she should be okay with it! All the best xx

mshel agony aunthi, i was in the same situation, all you have to do is ask your mum to give you advice and ask her what make-up should you wear. she will be made up that you can ask her for advice on make-up.

Hi Hunny,

Sometimes us mums get a bit weird when it comes to our little girls wearing makeup as we dont want them to grow up to soon, But saying that I was about you age when I was told to take it off at school, Much to my dismay anyway you just took me right back a 100yrs...The best thing to do is just sit and talk to her and see what she thinks, You are just as beautiful without it but I do see were your coming from love. My little one is 10 and for special occations like partys n stuff I let her wear a little eye shadow and lippy, You can only talk with your mum as if she doesnt wear any then she probably doesnt even think you may be wanting to, But remember less is better dont go putting a mask on love just to be like someone else be your own person always as your special in everyway TAKE CARE WITH LOVE MANDY xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
