Makeup is art. Makeup is passion. Makeup is expression. If you're anything like me, you love some good makeup: cheap makeup, expensive makeup, drugstore makeup or beauty counter makeup. It doesn't matter what kind, we love makeup. Walking into the makeup store or aisle is like walking into heaven. Being obsessed with makeup can be very comical, but makeup lovers keep going, riding on the wings of their eyeliner.
1. This mascara is perfect... but it's $23.
Mascara can make or break a face. But there always seems to be a bigger difference between that $5 mascara and that $23 mascara. So you buy the more expensive one and learn how to not cry.
2. I probably own every piece of makeup or makeup accessory ever made, but why not get more?
You probably have multiple bags of makeup, drawers, bins or whatever else to hold and store your makeup, but you still find it perfectly acceptable to buy more - because why not?
3. Contouring is probably the most revolutionary makeup technique next to the winged eyeliner and red lips duo.
Whether you use a novice palette, a pro palette or you use individual products like me, you probably would agree that contouring is one of the best or most revolutionary techniques to come into the makeup world, even if you don't exactly have the hang of it yet.
4. When your winged eyeliner is your life motto.
I'll be the first to admit it, I'm not the best at "life-ing" or "adult-ing," so I wing everything, like I wing my perfect eyeliner.
5. You spend entirely too long at the makeup store.
You know that feeling, when you're swatching in the makeup store, you're comparing prices and look up stuff on YouTube and Pinterest before you buy the product, that you start to notice the workers walking about you, looking at your purse, and you realize that they are watching you because they think you are shoplifting.
6. Walking past the makeup store is the worst, especially when you just paid rent and you still have to live.
"Just let me go inside!" "I need to test out the new Naked Palette!"
7. I always dream about having a high class job that pays me boat loads of money. Because, well, I have to still buy makeup.
Makeup isn't cheap you know. I need an expense account just for my makeup obsession, or maybe another job.
8. Looking at photos from before you discovered the perfect pencil for your eyebrows or that perfect shade of foundation.
I hate Timehop just for this reason.
9. Forget Netflix and chill... buy me makeup and make me smile.
Why would I want to spend the night watching Netflix when I could spend the night watching tutorials on YouTube on how to use my new beauty haul.
10. When people see my made-up face and they say they don't wear makeup.
I'm glad that you have such wonderful skin that you don't have to bake your face, you don't think those scraggily things you call eyebrows need to be filled in or that you don't know the pain of hitting the end of a tube of the most perfect color of lipstick.
11. My favorite word: sale.
My favorite phrases include, "sale," "clearance," "BOGO" and "free."
