We all know the cliche saying, "beauty is pain." Not only is beauty pain but it is also a series of mini meltdowns we call a whole struggle. Obviously, there are worse things in the world. But, I think we can all agree that the following listed below seem like the end in that given moment.
1. Breaking a nail.
No matter if it's your natural nail or an acrylic nail this hurts. If it doesn't hurt physically (which it usually does) it will definitely hurt emotionally. Cue the drama.
2. Uneven Anything.
Eyeliner, eyebrows, eye shadow, or just about anything else. Spending an absurd amount of time fixing and evening out everything when you have somewhere to be is the true definition of stress. In all honesty it makes you not even want to leave the house at that point.
3. Hitting your nose with your mascara wand.
This isn't the end of the world but, it absolutely drives you nuts every single time. You would think we would learn but that never seems to happen. Not to mention the ridiculous faces made in the process.
4. Drying matte lipstick.
We all love the look of a matte lip. Well, until it gets super dry and your lips look dryer than the Sahara in the dead of summer. Bonus: it will also start coming off in the middle of your lips if you eat or drink almost anything
5. Burning yourself with hair tools.
The worst part if you unintentionally inflicted such pain on yourself. All you can do is scream and reflexively throw your straightener or curling wand across the room. Not to mention the super fun burn mark on your skin that EVERYONE will comment on.
6. Removing your makeup.
After a long day this is the last thing you want to do, but you also don't want your skin to break out from all that stuff on your face. However, that tough waterproof mascara seems to never seems to want to come off.
7. Breaking your new favorite palette or compact.
We have all been there. Just like when you drop your phone, you hold your breath and hope that everything is still in tact. When you finally pick it up to observe what damage has been done, you cant decide whether you want to cry or scream. There goes * insert absurd $ amount* down the drain.
8. Smeared lipstick.
Red lipstick is 100% the worst in this situation. But no matter what shade you're sporting that day, after spending 10 minutes perfecting the line and then filling in your lips any little flaw drives you insane.
9. Tired eyes.
Coffee and concealer my friends, coffee and concealer.
10. Waking up late.
Your beauty routine in the morning takes time, and when you wake up late that's just time you don't have. Running around your house in the morning to get yourself together is inevitable.
After all that time struggling, you know you look good leaving the house in the morning. So finish that look off with a tiara girl, show the world who's boss.
