Good question. I, back in the dark ages 😊, had to go through the same thing. First of all, you need to have a relationship with your mum where you can actually tell them these things. This will lead to a happy relationship in other ways, too. To do this start spending a bit more time with her. After you have that, think about if she is the kind of mother who is uncomfortable with puberty. For instance, when my aunt was going through puberty, my grandmother insisted on calling Bras "upper underwear"! If you think she might do this type of thing, you two need to talk. Tell her (after a long time of planning out what you are going to say, and all the things you do before doing something uncomfortable) that you would like it if she would be a bit more open about puberty, because it is making you feel like it is a bad thing. This may not be true, but it will give you a reason. After you think she has matured on that subject, go ahead and tell her the bra part. Just say "Mum, I think I need a bra". Hopefully she will consent to buy you a bra, and if not, then you've got a problem. After that, for the makeup, the next time you are in a store that sells makeup, point it out to her, and start bugging her to get it. It should probably go like this: "Mum, may I please get this?" Mum: "I didn't know you were interested in makeup!" You: "All the girls at school are wearing it, and I think I'm old enough." Mum: "I still think you're too young." You: "Please? " And hopefully she'll get it. Now please don't put too much on. You don't want to look like a clown. Just a little blush, maybe a bit of mascara or eyeshadow, some lipstick, and you'll be beautiful. I hope that helped.
