I'm a lover of all things makeup. It can be from Too Faced to Covergirl, anything makeup I want. On all levels except financially, I am a makeup guru. Here are some things you understand if you love makeup.
1. When a new product comes out
Easily one of the most exciting times of the year is when your favorite brand drops a new collection or product for all of us consumers. We are undeserving, we are undeserving.
2. It's okay to splurge
You know what, you deserve that 25 dollar mascara! And while you’re at it, splurge, and buy that 40 dollar bronzer because you need it and deserve it!
3. My makeup collection is not too big
Yes, I am going to buy that basic neutral eyeshadow palate and so what if I already have 16 other ones because this one is special! My makeup collection will never be complete, and you can’t stop me.
4. Drugstore can lowkey be kinda poppin'
You’ve learned to be boujee on a budget. Look, Maybelline and Loreal actually have some pretty nice products and they are super affordable too.
5. Sephora is basically your second home
New powder? Sephora. Just browsing? Sephora. Bored? Sephora. Sephora is a beautiful place that can do no wrong, except take all your money.
6. Perfecting a look
It’s like a mini celebration when you perfectly create not one but two winged lines, or when your contour is flawlessly blended.
7. Online shopping is dangerous
Like that new lipstick? Add to cart. Becca just released a new highlighter? Add to cart. Oh your total is $189.53? Proceed to checkout.
8. You appreciate other peoples art too
Makeup is an art form too, okay. Whenever I see someone with a beautifully blended eyeshadow look or killer cut crease, I just stop and admire what they've created. Like girl, teach me your ways.
9. Not everyday is a full beat
Now listen, especially since I'm in college and have 8 am classes, I don't always have time to wake up and spend 45 minutes on my face. Most days I'm out the door with my eyebrows done, concealer, and a little mascara.
10. I do makeup for myself
Trust me, I don't wear makeup for anyone but my pretty little self. I don't wake up and think hmm I wonder if Justin will like my nude lip and gold eyeshadow? No! I put on makeup because I like it and the way it looks on me.
