9 Reactions Every Person Has While Applying HIS Or HER Makeup
Kaboompics

It’s 2018. Men wear makeup, women wear makeup, and pretty soon your cat will probably start to wear makeup. Either way, the beauty community is growing and so is my love for it. If you love makeup just as much as I, a millennial, do, then you must love getting ready just as much as I do. We all have those days where makeup is acts like a new Gucci purse that just wants to be shown off. Here are nine reactions we all have while making sure our makeup is on fleek.

1. When you’re just like “OOO girl"

We all have this idea in our heads of how our makeup is going to look after we finish, but does it ever turn out that way? Actually, sometimes, yes. This is when you get that "OOOOOOOH GIRL" feeling. You know the feeling I'm talking about. It's that feeling that makes you want to take 100 selfies and post only one of them on Instagram. (With a filter, of course.)

2. When the highlight is blinding

Don't even get me started on highlight. Highlight has got to be dust that God sent down from Heaven because every time I put it on, my whole look is changed even if it's a bad makeup day. But when it's a good makeup day, you will catch me glowing for the gods and competing with the sun because I never know when too much highlighter is too much. Remember: ALWAYS WET THE BRUSH.

3. When your foundation is blending perfectly

You know it's a going to be a great day when your foundation wants to be your friend and help you out. For a makeup wearer, blending the foundation to get that seamless look has got to be one of the biggest challenges. If you don't have the right brush or sponge, your foundation will stab you in the back and become your worst enemy.

4. When you use clean brushes

I don't know about you, but when I get to use a clean brush I feel like my makeup applies a million times better. Better application equals a better day and a happier you. Don't forget that satisfaction you feel when you clean the brushes. I could write a whole article on that.

5. When you get to use a new product

A few weeks ago, I finally ended up buying the Laura Mercier setting powder and let me just tell you it changed my life. Getting to use new products that have been hyped up by your favorite beauty gurus is just like opening up gifts on Christmas morning - you can't wait. When I finally got to try one of the best powders on the market, you better believe it felt like Christmas.

6. When you don’t fuck up your contour

Contour is not an easy thing to do. So if you can perfect it, then girl you deserve a round of applause.

7. When you don’t look like a clown after applying red lipstick

We all wonder how Taylor Swift got her red lipstick so perfect. (She had people to do that.) When you get your red lipstick right you don't want anyone to touch you or even breath around you. Just one hug can ruin it all.

8. When you perfect the wing

I will always be jealous of all of you people out there that can do a perfect eyeliner wing. Yes, Jeffree Starr, I'm talking to you. It's very rare that your eyeliner will work out on both sides, so when it does you try and keep your makeup on as long as possible just to keep the wing.

9. When you’re finally done

Finishing your makeup and being happy with the results has got to be one of the most rewarding feelings. This is the part where everything finally comes together and you can drench your face in setting spray. Every time I finish my makeup I feel like a brand new woman ready to take on the world.

CAN I GET AN AMEN?

(Amen.)

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
