We all have that one friend that has all of the nice makeup and looks like a goddess no matter where they go. Her brows always nice and filled in, her eyeliner perfectly winged, she always looks perfect. But then there you are, buying your makeup at Walgreens and only barely knowing how to do a smoky eye look. Here are 5 things that you can probably relate to if you don’t really get makeup.
1. You can't keep up with makeup tutorials.
All the beauty gurus you see on YouTube and Instagram really blow your mind. You try to do the seemingly simpler looks, but yours comes out looking entirely different. You also don’t have the name brand eyeshadow pallets, so your colors are completely off. You try your hardest, but it never comes out the way it’s supposed to.
2. You don’t understand why people spend so much money on products.
Altogether, your makeup may cost $30-$40. That’s including foundation, loose powder, mascara, eyeliner, etc., and you take advantage of your Ulta birthday gifts to rack up a little collection. However, your goddess friend spent $50 on her last eyeshadow pallet, which only came with 8 different colors. This completely blows my mind. I don’t even like spending $20 on food, so to spend that so much on makeup is insane to me. Not that I wouldn’t want any of it, it’s all really pretty. I just definitely do not want to spend that much on it.
You’ve found a look that’s easy and doable for you, so you make it work every day. Other people, on the other hand, try a different look for different outfits. Their lipstick always matches their shirt, and their eyeliner is so precise that it could hurt someone. When you try to do a new look, you just look plain scary. It’s hard to try to experiment and it turn out looking right.
4. Your Halloween looks are actually scary.
Like in Mean Girls, a lot of girls try to look cute and sexy for their Halloween festivities, with their cute deer makeup or doll face paint. But you try to look cute and turn out looking like something straight out of a horror movie. You could never figure out how to get that cue look that makes you look like a mouse. But it’s okay, you always win the costume contest.
Even though you don’t have all of the expensive pallets and can only figure out how to do your eyeliner one way, you still look good, gal. Just because you’re not a professional doesn’t mean you aren’t just as beautiful as your friends who are makeup masters.
