8 Things That Happen When You're a Girl and Don't Understand Makeup

I feel like most people just assume that knowing how to use makeup is built into every girl’s DNA when she’s born. Hahaha... Yeah, so not true. I honestly have no idea how to use any type of makeup, but oh well, right? People in the 1800s didn’t have makeup, so why do we? Besides, the whole concept is just covering up your actual face with fake products that are centered around your appearance. I’m sorry, but I just don’t see why makeup sounds fun to people. Like, what’s the point of even trying to understand this beyond complicated system??

1. Before we start to talk about applying makeup, can we just talk about how confusing the aisles are

I’d probably be less confused trying to get out of the Bermuda Triangle than I am when I have to look for the makeup I’m trying to find.

2. When you do find what you’re looking for, you end up buying the wrong thing

Dang it, I accidentally bought PURPLE mascara?! Why is colored mascara a thing? We all know you weren't born with colored eyelashes!

3. You only buy the basic mascara, eyeliner, and foundation because that's all you know how to use


Even that might be too much…I guess we’re getting risky here...

4. When you were younger and your mom bought you those makeup kits, it was nothing but a complete fail for you


And you probably don’t wear eye shadow anymore because it still turns out like this…

5. Since your “makeup routine” only takes two minutes max, you’re always the one friend ready way before everyone else


...and then you have to sit around being irritated by your makeup educated friends

6. You’ll never understand why some people think caked on makeup looks good


You have a clean face right under there…what are you doing?? Why is this a thing??

7. Don’t even get me started on why people think that winged eyeliner looks good

You are a human, not a bird! Sorry not sorry...

8. Your friends are constantly asking to give you makeovers


SHUT UP I LOOK FINE.

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.
