If you love makeup, the thought of makeup, or makeup related anything you probably have a complicated relationship with it. It’s super fun to use and experiment with while helping you unleash your inner boss slaying left and right. There are endless options and combinations for highlighter, bronzer, lippies, and mascara. But if you love makeup as much as I do you know that it can also be a love-hate relationship between you and your makeup. Here are six things that you can relate to when you love makeup:
1. New Product = Snapchat Photoshoot:
They joy of bringing home new products from a successful day of shopping is one of the best feelings ever. Whether it’s a new eyeshadow palette or the primer you’ve been dying to have. Obviously now you have to show all of your friends (who are also makeup addicts) because of this the best moment of your life and now you’ll be glowing like MannyMUA, and you're probably going to burst from excitement at any given moment. So you grab your phone, find the perfect lighting, and mass snap out the finished product.
2. Tutorials are your background music:
From cleaning your room to doing laundry, makeup tutorials are now the new music in your life. Autoplay on YouTube is your best friend because you won’t have to get up to watch all the spring looks that your heart desires. Sometimes people think you’re talking to someone because you are commenting out loud to that fleeking wing Shelby Triglia just did on that glitter cut crease.
3. No sleeves at Ulta, Swatching is EVERYTHING:
You know exactly what I’m talking about. The whole “I’m just going to see if they have the new ________ palettes in,” but you came prepared because you definitely knew it was there so you wore a tank top so you can swatch the hell out of it. Then you leave with rainbow arms and some makeup remover while wishing you had a third arm. But you can't help it because pigment is also everything.
4. “There’s still a little left in it”:
Finding every possible solution to getting everything out of your liquid foundation container because you spend $17 on it and you’re the most hesitant to get a new one. When stuck between getting a new one or waiting, scraping the insides with a small brush is always your favorite solution. You just can’t let go.
5. Makeup Soulmates are in this together:
You might have a makeup addiction, but at least you’re not alone. You and your best friend in makeup will always understand each other on the most spiritual of levels.That one friend who understands all your makeup addictions and feeds them. You hear about a restock for liquid lippies, and now you’re just waiting for that text so the fangirling can commence. They will always get you.
6. Eating with Lipstick is an Artform:
I just love the moment when I complete my look of the day with the finishing touch of lipstick. Dark colors are my weakness! *insert heart eye emoji here* But somehow I always manage to either not eat before applying lipstick or make food, forget about it, do my makeup and then remember the food. If you are also a food lover as I am, eating will always top the wonderful lines of my lip masterpiece. So then the transformation from human to horse starts upon the first bit.
