10 Things Makeup Addicts Are Tired of Hearing

Every makeup addict knows that once they start talking, there is no stopping point. The worst part about being obsessed with makeup is when people try to be patronizing about what you love.

Here are the top things every makeup addict eventually gets annoyed of hearing.

1. "That's really bad for your skin."

Although it has been a problem in the past, the advancement of makeup makes it less harmful for your skin.

2. "You're so much prettier without it."

Your nice old aunt may mean well, but most likely, I already know I look good without makeup, it's just a thing I enjoy doing.

3. "Where do you find the time?"

Where do you find the time to go jog in the morning? Or get out to buy morning coffee? If you feel like doing it, you can make time to put in the effort.

4. "Why do you wear so much makeup?"

Because it's fun and I look good in it!

5. "That lipstick is way too dark for you."

OK, but that purple lipstick looks amazing for me and boosts my confidence by 200%, so it doesn't matter if it's "too dark."

6. "Why do you waste your money when you can buy other things?"

A lot of things could be considered a waste of money; if it makes you happy, it shouldn't be considered a waste.

7. "Why is your face so oily?"

No, that's not because I'm prone to oily skin, I just love highlight!

8. "Aren't those colors the same?"

Sure Kylie Jenner's Dolce is similar to Colourpop's Teeny Tiny to Ofra's Mocha, but they are beautiful and I need all of them to live.


9. "By wearing makeup you're deceiving us."

I'm sorry that my bright red lipstick and gold eyeshadow made you believe they were a part of my face when they weren't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

10. "Girls who wear a lot of makeup are stupid."

Apparently, it's a stereotype that girls who like to wear makeup and look pretty aren't as smart, but it is perfectly allowed to be able to multitask and be a girl who loves beauty as well as becoming a doctor.

Because whether you like makeup or not should not be the basis on which you get judged on.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
