Don't use foundation, if your mom doesn't want you to. Use a bb creme, its lighter on your skin, and covers everything!

You probably don't need it. And your mom WILL notice. If you don't need it don't use it. I'm 21 and I don't even use it often because my skin looks good without it.

Use a light wash off tan or bronze :)
If you want to use foundation, find a foam one

Unless you have cameras pointed at yourself constantly, I don't think you need full on foundation. I only use foundation for big events, like big debate tournaments or a theatre production where I'm being filmed and photographed all the time. Try wearing a tinted moisturizer or an Asian BB cream from Dr. Jart + or Etude House - they have buildable coverage and aren't as high maintenance as foundations can be.

Mom said no so :( Don't make the mistake of thinking mom's will be to slow to notice.

Your mom will notice. No matter how cleverly you try to go around it. You may even wash it off so well with baby wipes on your way home, but she will eventually figure it out. This will create mistrust and delay your mom letting slack on the reigns of you making more decisions in your life. Moms are amazing, have crazy spidey-senses, creepy xray vision, and ultra tuned intuition. I am a mother.. I know this because it trips me out everyday, somedays I scare myself with all the cool creepy super powers developed during motherhood! Seriously. Anyhow, explain to her how you feel calmly and rationally. Try to avoid things like "You never let me do this" and "You are always saying no to that!" This will not win mom over. Try instead feelings... such as "I feel awkward and self concious because of ___ "(fill in flaw here: zits, acne, freckles, moles, scars, whatever...) and "I feel more relaxed and able to concentrate on studies and building better friendships when I am confident my peers are not staring at said flaws or talking poorly of me because of them when I am not suppose to hear." Top it with "I would feel closer to you if we could implement this phase of my development into womanhood together." (Here is the clincher, involve her!!!) Then the "piece de resistance" is being overly prepared! Explain you want to make a compromise for, say, a tinted moisturizer. It's step one into this arena and you want to demonstrate you're ready for the bigger things by properly managing the first steps. So before you have this talk with your mom look into a few brands of tinted moisturizers and figure out which would be most beneficial for your type of skin. (So if you don't already know figure out your skin type and while you are at it, make sure your keeping all your things and yourself neat, clean and orderly, moms don't grant further priveledges when you aren't currently handling your current business!) When you talk to your mom, she will be blown away and impressed with your dedication and initiative on this matter and will understand it is important to you. Asking her for her opinion and assistance in choosing the best shade or whatever helps her still feel valid and needed in your life while also establishing small steps towards that point where you are steering your life and she is more for backup. Calmness, thourough and valid research, maturity, compromise, and teamwork is far more likely to get you what you want in a good way rather than going behind your moms back. Think about it, would you rather do what you want and eventually hit set back or move towards what you want while also moving towards earning more trust and recognition in getting other things AND building a better relationship with your mom (which also helps ya get more of what ya want faster) ? Good luck!

@alisa & ema. you to are on point. i was thinking the same thing.

Alisa D.

Thanks Sevetria! And shame on the rest of you who encourage someone to directly disobey and DISRESPECT their mother. I have little hope for the future if that many of the population condone such behavior. Sad sad sad.

I agree w/ alisa. I know it is hard to understand your mothers point of view. Just imagine your BEAUTIFUL best friend telling you how they feel ugly and want to cover their face with makeup. No matter how many times you tell her she doesn't need she feels she does. This is how your mom feels... She is afraid makeup will only perpetuate low self esteem.
