AITAH for getting upset at my mom’s plan to go to a party?

My mom and I are going to a grad party tomorrow. However, she works all day, so she is going to go straight to the party from work because the location is closer to her work. She wants to get her makeup done. She ran into the makeup artist, and at first she offered to do her makeup for her at work during her break. However, my mom’s work doesn’t have a set time for break, so she couldn’t give her a specific time of when she could do her makeup, so she didn’t give her an answer until last night.

My mom wants her to do her makeup after work at 7 pm. Now the makeup artist is saying she’ll go to a middle point where we drive to her. So I’m going to have to drive from home and my mom will drive from work to the place. I kept saying that I’ll just do my own makeup and drive from home straight to the party because I don’t want to get my makeup done. And my mom keeps saying no and is telling me I have to get it done.

My mom is saying I’m just being difficult, so I just hung up the phone cause I’m so sick of being dragged into my mom’s plans and being forced what to do just because I live with her even though I’m an adult. I understand that I don’t have total freedom because she pays the bills in the meantime while I’m applying to grad school and studying for my exam, but does that mean I don’t even get a choice in what I want to do with my body and face until I move out next year? AITAH for getting upset with her?
