I started wearing makeup in the middle of my freshman year of high school. Believe it or not, I started wearing makeup much later than most of my peers. I had no idea what I was doing. I cringe at pictures of me with makeup on sometimes.
Guess what? I'm 19 years old and I STILL don't know what I'm doing. It's pretty obvious. I've gotten better over the years, but...trust me, it's a struggle.
1. The horror you feel looking in the mirror after trying to follow a makeup tutorial.
I love watching YouTube makeup tutorials, but I struggle to recreate the beautiful looks that are supposed to be "effortless."
2. Removing your makeup at least twice before actually doing it right.
I always have makeup wipes at my side because I just KNOW I'm going to make a mistake.
3. Your "fancy" makeup look is basically the same as your everyday makeup look.
For me, adding red lipstick=fancy.
Other people will go all out with sparkly eyeshadow, highlighter, bronzer...why do all that when you can just put on lipstick? Don't tell anyone that I don't know how to do all of that fancy stuff.
4. Wearing the same look every day because you literally have no idea how to do anything else.
If this is all I can do, fine.
5. Buying eyeshadow palettes with instructions and still messing up.
You know those eyeshadow palettes that have step-by-step instructions? Yeah, I can't do those right either. Makeup companies can't make this any easier for me. I'm doomed.
6. Being clueless every time you walk into Sephora.
Seeing all the products and not knowing where to start really brings out the Kim in me.
7. Avoiding certain makeup products completely.
I'm too scared to even try to use bronzer. It would be a nightmare. TRUST ME. I'll stay with being a pale white girl for my whole life, thanks.
8. Getting REALLY excited when someone compliments your makeup.
I feel like I overreact when people tell me they love my makeup. I feel like this on the inside.
Look, Mom, I'm going places!
9. Watching your friends do their makeup in awe.
HOW do you do your eyeliner in literally two seconds? Teach me. Please.
10. Accepting the fact that you may never understand makeup completely but you're still a queen.
The only thing that matters is that I like my makeup. I still look good, so who cares?
