Jul 13, 4. Erin J. Forum Rules Please help us maintain positive conversations here by following our guidelines below. This guide is more for people looking for some simple makeup. In this post I will share with you some products I started off with and I will also talk about other products which you should stay away from or give a try if you want! Also keep in mind of your school policies. I never stepped into a Sephora until my 17th birthday.
My first eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, BB cream, powder, blush and so much more were all from Maybelline! Maybelline has a good collection of pretty much every product and it was also readily available and affordable to me when I lived in India for a while. I also got my first lipsticks from Wet n Wild and Revlon.
I guess E. Covergirl also has some good stuff! I buy it all the time now! They do get embarrassed about hairy legs fairly early these days, but I don't see it as growing up too fast or even as trying to be sexy. The American culture is not so keen on body hair.
Here's another question And have you asked your daughters why they want such sexy underwear? I would be curious to know what they say. I just asked my year old who started asking for it in 6th grade! Her reply was: Mom, I had monkeys on my underwear and only one other person wore underwear like that and she was weird.
My mom took me to Merle Norman does that even still exist? It made me feel special and I knew the colors were right for me. My girls 7th and 4th grade have been playing makeup at home for years and on occasion they were it out for fun, but definitely not to school, but there are definitely 7th graders at her school who do.
I don't think they should wear makeup in 6th. But, she'll hide it and put it on later if she really wants to wear it. I always want to know the motivation behind things. And I'd discuss that wearing makeup makes you look older and then she might start getting attention from guys she doesn't know, and is she ready for that. And that kind of statement usually leads to a discussion of feminism and rape culture not with the kid, with the population on the internet , etc.
I thought she was so young for that, so my first response was no. Then she started middle school and asked again. She said that she didn't feel comfortable at gym with her hairy legs. The hair on her legs is very blond and hardly noticeable to me, but I realized in her mind, it was making her feel self-conscious.
Why was I denying her something pretty harmless that may make her feel a little less anxious, especially since starting middle school alone is anxiety-inducing enough. More than anything I was probably projecting my worries about her growing up too fast I decided to stop projecting and take one thing at a time.
We sat on the side of the tub together and shaved our legs--up to the knee. She is happier and I got to bond with her over something. So far, so good If she's going to use eyeliner perhaps she can skip that desired bright pink lip. We took her to a make up counter for her 13th birthday as a special treat.
The woman showed her how to apply it properly and sparingly. I think it was better for her to hear it from someone else she just thought I was being a drag. She really listened and I have to say she's way better at make up application than I was at Yesterday she told me, "Don't tell anyone, but Sarah is wearing black eye make-up to school, but she's not allowed to. Personally, I find the heavy make-up on tweens off-putting I've seen a few with full eyeliner, shadow, mascara, etc.
The piece I remember was her saying, "whatever you do, don't tell your mother! That said, this conversation was helpful because when my 7th grade daughter just asked me about shaving her legs, I jumped at her that she was too young! Clearly my issue and as an earlier poster said, maybe i don't want to accept she IS actually old enough. Didn't my scar teach me anything! I think I will now reapproach the topic and tell her my story.
My 17 year-old doesn't wear makeup very much anymore either. In fact, most of her friends don't. And she had told me at one point that one of the moms commented on how pretty she was without makeup and she should do that more often. But as your daughter gets older and moves to middle school they will be grouped with bunches of girls that are years of age who are undoubtedly wearing makeup to school.
If the discussion seems to pop up too soon, then mandate an age and make darn sure that they get some decent makeup on that particular birthday. She also knows that you will say these things whether she has a unibrow or acne but other people wont be as kind. If you ignore the requests or are too strict about letting your daughter wear makeup when the age is appropriate you risk showing up at school one day seeing your daughter wearing badly misplaced stripper red lipstick and caked black mascara.
If you say no well still do it! I like makeup, I love putting it on and experimenting, I love my Jaclyn hill pallete and my Real Techniques brushes and liquid lipstick and everything. I only want to wear light makeup like foundation natural lipstick and a little blush.
And I feel like wearing makeup might make me feel better about myself. Any suggestions on how to ask my mom? Maybe try showing her a video of natural makeup you are considering wearing. Explain to her that you understand what all of the products are used for and why you want to apply makeup, or what is your main goal of doing so.
Explain to her that you do not want to look too grown up and that you would like it if she would help you find out if the video you showed her is appropriate and good for you so that you guys can make a compromise and agree. First talk about confidence and self-esteem, and how you feel about yourself as a person. Then ask her for some advice on what you can do about it your main goal is to do something that will help you feel better about yourself.
Ask her about what she thinks about you wearing makeup, and make sure you state how you understand the makeup choices must be appropriate for girls your age. Just be patient, and show that you are mature enough for it.
You will get the time to do everything you want with your appearance when you are older, you just have to be patient.
