I would recommend you use soft colors and little by little start adding darker tones. That way she's going to start to get used to see you with darker colors. Then, you'll be able to use solid black eye makeup and she won't be as surprised as she was when she first saw you. Basically, walk her through your transition from soft to darker colors. :) It takes time but it's worth it. Plus, I know that a mom's opinion is very valuable and means a lot. :) Good Luck Girl.

Hey Kiki! I also struggle with parents that don't fully understand or support my makeup addiction and looks. I am a fan of going all out with bold eyes or lips, and actually wearing it out of the house. When I first started, my parents would look at me like I was an alien and would ask me why I was wearing something like that or say that I should take it off. I've learned that the best thing is just to not care. It really affected me at first because the people I loved were saying they didn't like it, but at the end of the day it's all you. Do what makes you happy! I eventually told them at dinner one night about how much I loved makeup and trying new, crazy looks and that I didn't appreciate it when they said they didn't like it. If you tell them, do it professionally, otherwise they won't take you seriously. If they ever made comments about how they didn't like it after that, I would tell that I liked it and it made me feel good. You just have to voice your opinion in a nice and courteous manner. I understand if your parents don't want you to because of age, so just be gradual with it. Start doing looks with greys and maybe some black liner, then move on to black shadow in the crease of the eye, and then move on to a full black smokey eye. But overall, just be upfront with her. Tell her you love the look and you feel confident in it. It's not like you mom is wearing the black eye shadow, you are! Good luck 💋
