Why doesnt my my dad like me wearing makeup?

I dont think I am. my dad allowed me to wear makeup last year. just the only prob was I didnt have any. now that I do he thinks that a really ligth gray eye shadow it overdoing it and that my wearing makeup is disrespectful to him. HOW!?!

You are only 13, it’s understandable for your parent to think /responsibly/. Do you think at all? It’s so easy to figure out that your parent couldn’t care less about you applying it badly or stress themselves about the possibility that you could stab yourself in the eye. They just don’t want you growing up too fast, which you are doing.

My dad was the same way, he probably just thinks that since your wearing make up your growing up and he doesn’t want his little girl growing up. Oh and I always used to put on the makeup at school. usually by the time I got home and he got home it was all gone.

Well just ask him why he does not want you to ware make up. Tell him that you are not going to over do it . How old are you ? Tell him that you respect his choice and would like to know what age for him is acceptable to ware make up. I’m sure you have a pretty face so why would you even want to ware make up. I’m 23 with two children and a baby on the way and I dont ware make up. Yours truly, Demika Ray

Well, its probably because beginning to wear make-up is one of the first signs for him that you are growing up and most dads do not like that… Trust me, my dad was the exact same way. Don’t worry, though, its just a phase and he will get over it soon enough. And if not… well explain to hhim that you wearing a little make-up doesnt change who you are and it definately doesnt change the relationship between the two of you… only say that as a last resort, though, because it can sometimes get a awkward talking about that kind of stuff with your dad… xD anyways, for now, just wear it and dont let your dad’s outbursts freak you out.
