Your mom let you use makeup? And did you do things differently with your own daughters?

My mom was pretty smart, she didn't let me wear mascara till I was 14 -- a couple years after my friends. Nothing else, then lipstick & eye shadow at 15-16. I nagged my poor mom about makeup but now I see pix of myself then and think, she was so right.

Sometimes I see very young girls with makeup, smokey eyes in h.s., and it seems so weird... am I an old fogey? They are so beautiful with nothing on their face, and of course men like women with light makeup, and because of mom I still mostly have a light touch.

I even bugged my mom about pantyhose because my girlfriends wore them. Can you believe I actually wanted to wear hose?
