In today's world, makeup has become quite the hot topic. Back when I first started wearing makeup, it didn't seem to be as big of a deal as it has become. Over the years, my makeup collection has grown from one Lip Smackers to several palettes, bronzers, blushes, a colorful array of different lipsticks and my personal favorite: HIGHLIGHTERS! Here are some things that only the ladies and gents that share my love will truly understand.

1. Hearing "take her swimming on the first date" genuinely makes you laugh because, GIRL, I work hard to make sure that this face will stay on through a freaking hurricane.

So, go ahead! Take me swimming on the first date! This bake ain't going anywhere, my liquid lip will persevere and my highlight will continue to gleam for the gods.

2. When you get a compliment on your makeup, you feel like you have truly accomplished something in life.

Sure, it's nice to hear that you're a super nice person or that someone likes your shoes, but, when you hear someone say that 'your highlight is on fleek' or even a simple 'GIRRRRRL THAT CONTOUR', that could make your day on the gloomiest of Mondays.

I beat my face almost every day, it's my favorite part of my day.

5. Also, baking has absolutely nothing to do with your kitchen.

6. Hearing "you wear too much makeup" is the most confusing phrase to you because, let's be real, there's really no such thing to a makeup junkie.

7. What even is minimal makeup?

No seriously, I feel like my "minimal makeup" still takes me at least an hour to accomplish because, even when I say I'm just doing concealer and mascara, it turns into a full on glam look. But also, because the process of doing makeup usually goes a little something like

8. Going out with a bare face is always a risk because the SECOND you walk out of your house like that, you are going to see every guy you have ever wanted to notice you when you were looking cute as hell.

9. That awesome moment when you (finally) finish your makeup and you got your winged liner on right.

10. The question "who you gettin' all done up for?" is one that never made sense to you.

Like, why does it have to be for someone? You think I paid $52 for this highlighter to impress you? Oh honey.

11. When you recommend something to a friend and they end up loving and you're just there while they're raving about it like

12. And finally, if you are TRULY a makeup lover, you already know that this woman right here is the actual queen of our world.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
