Makeup. That word itself can either be empowering or scary, depending on who you are. Personally, I am not the best when it comes to makeup. I'm a ginger so my skin is like super duper pale. I might as well be called Casper the Friendly Ghost when looking for my foundation matches (but no seriously, it's usually the lightest shade the brand has). Often my makeup looks not so great, but then there are other days when I'm like "Yes queen, work that highlight," or "Yeah, slay that perfectly symmetrical and identical winged eyeliner."
Whether you are amazing or wonderful at makeup, or rather you're downright awful and you're just better off without it, everyone can relate to these makeup memes. And let's be real, they are pretty accurate and hilarious. So furthermore, here are 10 makeup posts we can all relate to.
1. Contour
Okay. Yes. The Mona Lisa was a work of art. But contour, is also a work of art. Have you ever watch someone blend that out? That takes true skill. I think Leonardo da Vinci would have been proud. Also, doesn't the contoured Mona Lisa look like Nicki Minaj? Just me?
2. Lipstick evolution
I fondly recall my times of saving my beloved Lip Smackers in my pencil case instead of pencils. I had just about every flavor just like above. However, my favorite one was the pink lemonade. Now, I collect matte lipsticks like no one's business and I cherish them just the same as my Lip Smackers.
3. Skin tone difference
It's sad to say it, but it's true. Ladies, gentleman, everyone and anyone who have done this, should not be ashamed. This terrible act is all apart of learning. Also, screw you Kate in the 7th grade who told me my neck was a different color than my face. How was I supposed to know any better? I actually forget to blend to my neck sometimes and when I notice out in public I feel like I need to receive a turtleneck sweater from the sweater gods.
4. The morning after
Worst feeling ever. Especially when the mascara gets in the corners of your eyes. I always end up looking like some possessed demon from "American Horror Story."
5. Timing
Beauty takes time. Precision is key. Sometimes our timeliness can be sacrificed for a bomb eye look and eyebrows.
6. Bad makeup shopping habits.
But the new palette from Urban Decay is here, and I don't have that specific Morphe eyeshadow brush. I need it – I need them all.
7. Eyelashes
Take two lashes by eye lids daily, you beautiful slayin' queen you.
8. Sephora
When Sephora takes you and consumes your entire soul. Thanks for taking all my money Sephora! I'm so glad I used my Beauty Insider card tho, gotta get them points honey.
9. Eyebrows
Okay. Right? Right? For me my right eyebrow always looks better than my left, but the context still applies! Like oh my god. I've never felt a meme so hard before. Why you do you look so different at my eyebrows? Do you have something against me? Was it because I plucked you way too much my Freshmen year of high school? My bad babes. Okay, also. I know you are supposed to be not sisters, but twins. But honey, y'all don't even look related. Could you corporate once in a while? That would be great.
10. When people tell me to wear less make-up
Above all the funny and relatability that comes with makeup problems, makeup is art. Makeup is expression. Never let anyone tell you to do something you don't want to. Makeup is not a finalized aspect of life. The art and style of it constantly changes and is different between every person wearing it. So pick up those brushes, apply that glorious highlight, do you and always continue to be your best. Always.
