Is it really about makeup or is it about honoring the parent (and by way of that honoring God) who for whatever reason doesn't think it's a good idea for you? I'm wondering how many kids in this world would love to have a parent who loved them enough to say no. 
My stepdad didn't like for me to wear makeup as a teen. I wasn't thrilled about it either but I loved him enough to understand that he was trying to protect me from some things that can happen to young ladies when they try to appear older than they really are. Ultimately you will need to decide whether something you can wash off of your face and let run down the drain is more important to you than respecting your parents and obeying God's instruction to honor our parents.
God bless

Me being the rebellious child that I was, at least when it comes to make-up, I might not be the best person to answer, but here goes. Although the story has nothing to do with make-up, it is related in regards to parents.
When I was a little girl, probably around 8 or 9, I ended up playing my parents off of each other, over going to swim to a friends house. I had asked my mom if I could go swimming, and she said no. She had left the house to do some errands, so of course, sneaky little me went to ask my dad. He asked what my mom had said, and of course I lied and said yes. So he let me. Long story short, I was quickly caught in my lie and punished. (Can't remember if it was a spanking or being grounded.)
So my suggestion is, if one parent says no, then that's the end of the story. Don't do it. You'll basically be playing each parent off of the other, and that's not honoring them. What you might consider doing, in a very respectful manner is ask the one who said no, if they would explain to you why they wish you would not wear make-up right now. Your parent probably has a very reasonable answer.

You need to follow what bible says:
Ephesian 6:1 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother"-which is the first commandment with a promise-"so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth"
so i think that if you do what your mother say but disobey your father (and viceversa) then you are not following what bible says
