17 Things You Just Get As a Makeup Aficionado

For some girls, makeup is a fun, occasional activity for nights out and special events. For others, it is a necessary evil for dates and family parties. For those like me, it is not only the perfect hobby and pastime but an art.

People always have something to say about makeup, whether positive or negative. Here are just a few examples of things that, as a makeup aficionado, you just get:

1. People constantly ask you why you have a full face of makeup on.


2. And the answer is always "Because I wanted to and it looks good. Like, what's the issue?!"


3. No matter how many times you practice it, applying winged eyeliner never gets easier or quicker.

4. Free time or boredom always leads to watching makeup tutorial videos on YouTube.

My fav is Carli Bybel!

5. To perfect your makeup, it takes a while.

Like sometimes over an hour just for makeup, but man is it worth it in the end.


6. Lip liner.

Need I say more?

7. Filling in your eyebrows is the toughest part of makeup.

Too much can make you look crazy and fake but too little can make you look like you have no eyebrows.


8. Contour and highlight can be a freakin' process, but the results are just divine.

9. Forever having to do eyeshadow for all of your friends because you're the pro and they have no idea between an eye shadow brush and a blending brush.

10. You secretly love doing their makeup: it gets done correctly, flawlessly and they are amazed by your talent.


11. You're broke because most high-quality makeup products are like $50 each.

12. Each brush is also $40. And you need all of them.


13. You have your "go-to" base products.

Under-eye concealer, mascara and powder foundation equals makeup in a rush.

14. However, you usually have a full face of makeup on with contour and highlight...or you look homeless with negative makeup.

There are only rare occasions where this does not apply.

15. Doing your makeup in front of your "makeup virgin" friends can be a special kind of torture.

"What is that?"

"Why are you doing that?"

"How do you do that?"

"That's what you use that for?"

16. Eyelash curlers are the necessary evil...because of that one terrible experience in seventh grade we all had.

R.I.P. my eyelashes.


17. You're dying to try the new Kylie Jenner Lip Kit. It is a must.

Whether it sucks or it's great, you need to try it.

Can I get an AMEN ladies? These are things just known in the world of makeup and, as a makeup freak myself, I can attest to these facts. To all my fellow makeup lovers, may your brows always be on fleek and your highlighter brighter than your day.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
