17 Things You Just Get As a Makeup Aficionado
Tumblr

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
