Hi, I have a makeup question. I'm 14 years old and have wondered about wearing makeup. First of all, I want to because I blush REALLY easily and people will comment, "Why are your cheeks so red?", which makes me blush even harder! The reason why I want to wear makeup is so its harder to tell when my face goes red. Is the best thing to "cover up skin" foundation? Also, overall I hate makeup, but only want to wear foundation to cover up from my blushing. My mom has said that she only wants me to wear makeup when I'm 18! (I've never talked to her about my face) my blushing has made me very self conscious and I'm nervous a lot, even when I just think of the guy I like it makes me blush! Btw, I found out that my "blushing problem" is CB (chronic blushing) there is no cure for it...so what should I do about the makeup problem? Should I ask my mom? What should I say to her? What's your opinion or advice? Thanks!!!

I think it's clear that your mom doesn't want you to wear makeup but this blushing problem is bothering you, I think she just needs to get used to the idea that a lot of people your age wear makeup. If you don't like makeup i don't suggest you wear foundation as it will make your face feel very heavy. Try a blusher with a color very close to your natural skin color-there's a chance this won't totally get rid of your blushing but it will tone it down a lot, you also won't really realize your wearing makeup. Also this way it won't be very visible your wearing makeup just that you won't be seen blushing but if your mom does notice just explain that it's bothering you, it's just a bit to help cover it and you don't want to wear anymore. x
i think when you want to wear make up just put little foundation that will also compliment the natural color of your skin so your mom would not notice it the apply a blush on so you can hide this "blushing" effect you have so when you blush you can tell them that "No I don't blush it is just my blush on."and that would make a good alibi or to keep that blushing madness you have.Just bear in mind that make up should enhance what assets you have and not to overdone your face,also I remember a fashion tips that if you have it heavy make up for your eyes dont use heavy make up for your lips and vice versa
i think you need to sit down with your mom and tell her how you feel about the issue you are having with your blushing. i honestly think she should let you wear at least a small amount of foundation if this is really bothering you. i have had a simillar issue. i have quite bad acne scars and the odd pimple here and there, so i sat down with my fam and told them. i am now allowed to wear makeup due to my own issues and at the end of the day its your face and body and you should be able to do what you want.
