Ok so I have this friend from school. She is 14 and aloud to wear face makeup and nothing else. Sometimes she wears mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow but takes it off before home. My problem is that I don't know how to tell her this... She uses mac foundation and everyday there are orange blots cuz she didn't rub it in. Also she cakes it on but it doesn't actually look good. It isn't the exact color for her face so if she misses a spot it looks horrible. Wherever her acne is she piles it on. I truly honestly think she looks better without foundation. How can I tell her her makeup looks bad. She won't listen to me if I say she shouldn't wear any help pleeaasse!!

I had the same problem. My friends eyeshadow looked really cakey and heavy. Just politely tell her that her foundation looks a little heavy, and that she looks better without it. Good luck!

Recommend a powder foundation, for example when talking to her say "oh yeah have you seen this powder foundation? I think it would look really good on you" hinting will get your point across without hurting any feelings :) let me know how it goes x

If your really her friend be honest with her & tell her.. Don't tell her it looks bad but tell her that you think could try a different color so that it blends with her skin& also that MAC makeup will most likely clog her pores if she's acne prone anyway, if she goes to sephora they can match her skin color & recommend a face makeup that will be as much coverage as she wants but not as cakey & one that won't clog her pores. Maybe go with her to the mall (somewhere they have a sephora)

I'd have a beauty-secret-exchanging session with her. It's subtle but she might use the tips :)

Ok thanks. Do you think she should wear makeup without her moms permission. If she ever asks me to bring herald up what should I tell her.

I think you should tell her that she'll get to wear it on her on time. That's how my mom was when I was little. Maybe work something out with her parents that she could wear it on weekends or when she goes out?

Ok but her mom is seriously mean. She grounds her for everything and yells at her so I'm afraid to talk to her mom.

You don't have to talk to her mom- You could tell her to sit down with her mom and say that maybe they could do this thing where every birthday/christmas/special occasion for her, she would get the privelege to wear a new kind of makeup that suits her age. If her mom doesn't agree, you could have her suggest maybe just ONE special occasion- like every christmas. It would be a while before she is allowed to wear everything, but by then I think she will be ready.
