Makeup: Just Lippies
Hi I'm 15 and I want to wear makeup just so I can have fun with the lip colors but my parents won't let me wear makeup. So I was thinking since all I want to wear is lip colors maybe my parents would let me just wear lip colors. But I've never seen anyone just wear a bold lip without putting on everything else. What do you think? Is that normal? Or would it be a cute new trend?

Hey!
So, I've seen a lot of girls wear lipsticks with just a little mascara, and that's about it. If you already have naturally long, lush eyelashes than you won't even need the mascara. What I like about that is all the attention goes to the fun colors of your lips. If you do that, I do recommend sticking with a more sheer lip color.
Hope this helps!

Your parents probebly dont understand that being deprived of the option is what makes you want it so much, has (because i said so) ever been said to you as an "answer" to the why it is youve been denied your humble request, Once your able to do so freely youll see that its not important at all, would you rather be the one who has to were makeup just to be seen in the light, and horrified at the sights and sounds of water knowing any moment could change everything as your identity melts away, it rains sometimes to, lipstick alone must be easier no doubt but it smears and needs constant upkeep, but. i guess im just into genuinity so much cause my mother cant funtion without it and she seems so phoney to me because of it, she cares so much about what people think that its like shes not really a person anymore, imagine the satisfaction knowing your prettier without even having to try, sorry bout that, not really what you asked was it, i never said i was smart, i do feel bad about wasting your time though, ill try to learn from my selfish opinionated behavior and attempt to be a better person in the future, i hope you can forgive me, sorry again

I have not seen any females wearing lipcolor without doing the eyes. But there are plenty who will wear eye makeup without doing the lips.
The art of wearing makeup should be to help make your features more noticeable, pop out so to speak but not to make the makeup more noticeable than your features. Perhaps thats what the parents are concerned about or perhapas they feel it might attract the wrong attention from males which you're gonna get, makeup or not, its just the way males are.
What I think might be fun is for you and Mom to arrange to have makeup done professionally with asking yours be minimal and see how Mom reacts to the look of you with makeup.
I have found that having older skin, eye shadow just doesnt look good anymore and my husband likes the natural look. However my brows have thinned and are fading and I wanted to have some eyebrows. SO I tried just that and mascara and nothing else. It makes my eyes pop without me looking like a painted clown as some older women do and enough of the young gals too. SO just have a good talk with the parents and act adult like not whiney. If its still no, they may allow you to wear makeup sooner than they had in their minds simply because you prove yourself to be honest, trustworth, not sneak behind their back to wear it, and may grant you permission to wear it sooner if you're acting mature about it. Good luck.

Sometimes you will amazed at how far a good mature conversation can go with parents. If you tell them you understand why they have rules for you (and you will always respect them)ask them if maybe there is some type of compromise they would agree to concerning makeup. Ask if maybe they would consider just a little make up on the condition that you will get their approval before you leave the house. If they still say no then thank them politely for their time. This might cause them to rethink their stand on this issue but either way you are very lucky to have parents who really care about you! Sadly, a lot of teens are not so fortunate. You seem like a very intelligent and mature young woman. I'll bet you can find a way to set new trends with hair or fashion that will take the focus completely off of makeup!

Bold lip colour would probably be the one thing your parents don't want you doing. They may feel that it's a bit too adult of a look for a person your age (not that I agree, but my parents felt the same way when I was a teenager).
You may have a little more luck with them if you promise to keep your makeup minimal and fairly natural looking - you could always ask your mother to help you out so that you know what you're doing. Makeup is a great way to express your personal style, but it is important to learn good habits early on so you don't mess up your skin (or family photos!)
If you do stick with the lip colour only thing, I can tell you that I've worn a bold lipstick with just a little mascara. In fact, it tends to look best if you stick with a light touch makeup-wise if you're doing a bold lip, or a neutral lip if you're going bold on the eyes. You don't want too much going on at one time.
