My 14 year old son is wearing make up ( foundation ), ?

should I be worried, or is this normal these days?My 14 year old son is wearing make up ( foundation ), ?
well i would not be worried, i mean so what??


If he chooses to wear make-up, or dress differently to what you and everyone else thanks is 'normal' then that's his choice and its his life.


If he were gay would you not be happy? he is still your child and you should just support him.





Have a chat with him, and ask him why he wears it, surely its better too talk too him than too a load of strangers?





maybe he is worried about how his skin looks etc, i mean why should it be diff for boys? girls do there hair and make up in order too feel attractive from a young age.


Maybe he is insecure and feels it gives him a bit more confidence





you will never know unless you talk too him will you.


just be calm understanding and none judgemental when you talk too him.

Worried about what?





Wearing foundation doesn't automatically = gay. Nor should it matter if he did happen to be gay.





Wearing foundation may make him feel better about oily or spotty skin. You can help him by helping him choose a color that best matches his skin color.





Many men, gay and straight, wear foundation to even out skin tone, to protect it from the sun (many have SPF these days) or to accomplish a ';goth'; look in the case of very pale makeup.





And by the way, if you're worried about this, please buckle your seatbelt--his adolescence is going to be bumpy for you. Most of all, you can love him for who he is and his accomplishments, no matter what.
He's worried about his skin most likely...or its a trend going around amongst his friends.





I wouldn't jump to the conclusion its got anything to do with him being gay at all, and I wouldn't confront him about it. If he is thinking it, he wouldn't want mum/dad interfeering in something so personal at his age, when he really doesn't know what he's feeling himself.





Just step in if he's applying it wrong, eg. if its blotchy - he'd appreciate someone who knows what they're doing to help him out to make him look better (even if he more than likely will be really embarrassed about it)
More men are wearing foundation to hide skin blemishes. It's becoming more acceptable. Have you seen all the men's skin care lines with tag lines such as ';It's not your girlfriend's moisturizer.';? There's a move towards this kind of thing.





There were straight guys in my high school over 10 years ago who wore foundation because they had bad acne. Their doctors suggested it.
I guess whats the point of him wearing the makeup? If its just to cover up acne or something, I wouldnt worry. My husband and all of his groomsmen wore foundation to our wedding so they didnt have ugly skin in our pictures, lol. Maybe hes just wanting to even out his skin? If he was wearing lipstick, I might start to worry....
Try sitting down and talking to him and see whats going on. You might be surprised as weird as it sounds some guys use it to cover up pimple scars/ new acne. He could be in the experiment stage. Accept what he says to you because you don't want him to push you away. Hope I could help!
well, most things like that are normal now.


if i was you i'd talk to him and ask him why he is doing this.


then go on from there.


don't be worried til you find out..


and do let us know why he is (email maybe)


and then go on from extra answers then
Maybe he has a pimple he is trying to hide from a girl. Boys will go to all lengths to hide them. Not all boys but most.





If you are really worried just sit down and have a talk with him.
Well its not exactly 'normal' but more and more boys are wearing make-up these days maybe he is slef consious about his skin so waers it to cover it up. But there is also a rise in Gay guys,

It's just makeup, it's not like he's out doing heroin or anything.





It's more and more common these days for boys to wear, or atleast try out, makeup.
Is that all? Jus a trend. My best mate 44, straight, 18 stone rugby player uses foundation and moisturiser.





If he's got zits he might be trying to cover them





Talk to the lad
There are a few guys at my college that wear foundation, either cos they have dodgy skin or to cover spots up. Or he could be gay or very vain?
well hes either guna be gay or if he has acne he might be trying to hide it or maybe if hes like emo or something he might just be wearing it as a trend
I know a lot of guys who are wearing foundation... Did you talk to your son and ask him what's going on? Don't assume anything until you talk to him..
In my opinion - normal.









completely normal! just be thankful he isn't wearing bur-berry cap and a trackie!
He could be gay..


Or have his own style...


Find out if his friends wear make up aswell.


if they do his probably got it off of them.
He's either vain, gay, or an aspiring crossdresser.
It's pretty normal these days.. I wouldn't be too worried if I were you.
Well, does he have a bad acne problem? He might be selfconcious about it. Thats the only thing i can think of.
Nothing to worry about,


i think make up on boys looks hot :)


Lol


xx
well i think thats really weird. doesnt he know that wearin too much foundation gives u spots????
i'm 14 and if i did that at my school i'd be bullied...


no, NOT NORMAL!!!


what's the point in it anyway..?
