Every makeup addict knows that once they start talking, there is no stopping point. The worst part about being obsessed with makeup is when people try to be patronizing about what you love.
Here are the top things every makeup addict eventually gets annoyed of hearing.
1. "That's really bad for your skin."
Although it has been a problem in the past, the advancement of makeup makes it less harmful for your skin.
2. "You're so much prettier without it."
Your nice old aunt may mean well, but most likely, I already know I look good without makeup, it's just a thing I enjoy doing.
3. "Where do you find the time?"
Where do you find the time to go jog in the morning? Or get out to buy morning coffee? If you feel like doing it, you can make time to put in the effort.
4. "Why do you wear so much makeup?"
Because it's fun and I look good in it!
5. "That lipstick is way too dark for you."
OK, but that purple lipstick looks amazing for me and boosts my confidence by 200%, so it doesn't matter if it's "too dark."
6. "Why do you waste your money when you can buy other things?"
A lot of things could be considered a waste of money; if it makes you happy, it shouldn't be considered a waste.
7. "Why is your face so oily?"
No, that's not because I'm prone to oily skin, I just love highlight!
8. "Aren't those colors the same?"
Sure Kylie Jenner's Dolce is similar to Colourpop's Teeny Tiny to Ofra's Mocha, but they are beautiful and I need all of them to live.
9. "By wearing makeup you're deceiving us."
I'm sorry that my bright red lipstick and gold eyeshadow made you believe they were a part of my face when they weren't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
10. "Girls who wear a lot of makeup are stupid."
Apparently, it's a stereotype that girls who like to wear makeup and look pretty aren't as smart, but it is perfectly allowed to be able to multitask and be a girl who loves beauty as well as becoming a doctor.
Because whether you like makeup or not should not be the basis on which you get judged on.
