♣ How to Persuade Your Parents ♣
Tuesday, October 7, 2008 Want to wear makeup but you need parents approval? This can be challenging but it is possible!
Steps - Try to ascertain where your parents are coming from. Why do they object to you wearing makeup? Do they think you are too young? Is there a religious injunction against it? You must first respect their point of view before expecting them to respect yours.
- Address your parents' concerns in a calm, mature way. Insisting that you are old enough to wear makeup while throwing a temper tantrum will only reinforce their beliefs.
- Start with simple things like gloss, nail polish, etc. Skin care products are a great way to start. Let your parents know that you want to wear gloss to keep your lips moist, foundation to absorb oil so you don't break out, and polish so your nails don't tear and develop into painful hangnails.
- Tell your parents that you want to enhance your beautiful features.
- You could take a different road, though, instead of the one on 4, depending on why you want to wear make up. You could tell your parents you feel that make up is a form of art, and that you want to enhance your creativity through using make up. You have to be careful with that, though, because they might fear you will turn out making yourself look like a clown.
- If your parents say no, show your maturity. Accept their answer like the adult you are trying to become and look like it may prove their fears of your immaturity were wrong. They could have a total change of heart.
- If your parents say yes, make sure that you don't do anything too crazy which could make your parents reconsider! Always make sure that you look reasonable, and remember- less is more!
Tips - Avoid bright red lipsticks and red blush, or anything too bold.
- Have tones like brown, nude, sheer pinks, etc.
- Brown mascaras and eyeliners go well with most people, however, black is more dramatic.
- Sometimes at department stores, they have makeup specials where they give you makeovers or tell you about your skin tone and what goes with it, these help a lot.
- Some people believe a good age to start wearing make up is 13 or 14, but many people nowadays disagree.
- When applying eyeliner, sometimes you can get eyeliner with a small sponge at the tip. A cotton swab works well too. Smudge your eyeliner to make a smokier look.
- There are a lot of good tutorials for applying make up online, and videos are probably the best. Practice makes perfect but tutorials will help you avoid making crucial or just embarrassing mistakes.
- Make sure the colors you are choosing go well with your skin tone. What may look good on a friend may not look good on you.
- If lips can tend to be more red than usual, pat some foundation on your finger and apply lightly like lipgloss. Make sure it isn't to heavy. Then dab some off and apply a few pats of compact. Follow up by your regular lipgloss routine. The affect is a very natural yet appealing look.
- Some parents are mainly afraid of black eyeliner that will make you look like a "racoon". Start off with a brown or darker blue color.
I'm a self-taught photographer! I LOVE LOVE LOVE photography. Over the last few years, photography has become my passion. There is something about photography that relaxes and excites me. There is a certain thrill that I get when taking pictures that cannot be expressed with words. I rarely leave my house without my camera attached to my side! I'm a wife, a mother of one, who continues to be my favorite subject to photograph! I'd have to say he is definitely a good little model, who puts up with a camera in his face most of the time! But he'll love to have the portraits to look back at one day, and hopefully not think I'm completely nuts for the millions of pictures i've taken over the years!
I'm not really that friendly but if for some reason you think I'm interesting, feel free to add and talk to me. I love talking to interesting people and having fun conversations.
But If you can't handle me at my worse. Then you don't deserve me at my best.

I'm a relatively good girl. I don't eat my salad. I have an absolutely sweet tooth and I like chocolates and candy floss although they make me look kiddish most of the time. I absolutely adore babies and toddlers and I often go gaga over them!
