If you love makeup then you know that sometimes it is hard work. Trying to look like you are the next Jaclyn Hill is a process that no one else can understand. You feel like you are crafting the next big masterpiece, only for that winged eye liner to go all wrong. If you know these struggles, then you also understand how euphoric it is to undergo these seven things.

1. When you put on bold lipstick and it ACTUALLY stays. There is nothing like taking a sip from your cup and realizing not a single smudge was left on it. You have finally found the holy grail, even if it may have cost you the price of a months worth of food.

2. When your eyes match up perfectly. All that blending and concentration paid off. The wings you have are so sharp you could slice someone's finger off, and it is blended like a dream. You've never felt so symmetrical in your life.

3. When you spend so much money, but you get a free gift. The $150 was so worth it because of the $10 gift. I mean that makes sense to everyone, right?

4. When you score the palette right when it drops. Girls get excited over this like guys do over a good interception. You feel like you have actually accomplished something in your life and you aren't a total failure.

5. Trying on new products and feeling like a goddess. It may be exactly like everything else you own, but it is new and it is different. Yes, I do own 30 lipsticks in the same shade. Yes, they do all have a different look to me. I may repeat, but no shame.

6. Meeting someone else who is just as obsessed as you are. Like do you wanna be best friends? The conversation normally last about 30 minutes and consists of straight makeup tips and favorites. Kat Von D or Anastasia liquid lip? These are the questions that need to be answered.

I'm sure you recognize these moments about like you can recognize the difference between eyeshadow with and without a primer base, or that sharp line that needs blending. So to my fellow makeup junkies, I hope these moments find you often and well. Slay on!
