How do I tell my parents that I want to start wearing makeup?

[Yianni]

Hey, are there any other guys here who wear makeup? How do I ask/tell my parents that I want to start wearing makeup? All I really want to wear is some simple eyeliner, but I'm not sure what to tell them. I'm scared that their gonna think I'm weird since I'm a guy or figure out I'm gay... What do I do??? :confused: Thanks in advance!

Sorry if I put this in the wrong topic, feel free to move it though.

EDIT: I'm a 14 year old boy.

I wear make-up. But I don't do it like girls do it. I wear foundation on the days that I need to cover up some acne, and I wear eye liner every now and agin to make my eyes pop. (I don't wear enought that you'd notice...)

If I were you, I would just start small. Maybe one day, you could try wearing eye liner very subtly. Then, if they notice, tell them how you feel.

Just do it. If they bring it up, explain. I don't know your exact situation, but chances are nothing horrible will happen to you.

What I did two years ago was put some eyeliner on during second hour and take it off sixth. I had PE last hour so I didn't really want to be wearing it then. :P

Or if you don't think your parents are going to completely freak out like mine would, just tell them you bought some eyeliner and you plan on wearing it. I wouldn't suggest just wearing it in front of them though without telling them.
