10 Things from a Girl Obsessed With Makeup Wants You To Know

Here's 10 things every person obsessed with makeup wants you to know:

1- We don't wear it for you

While you may want to think I spend hours on my makeup and hair to impress you, you couldn't be more wrong. I wear makeup for my enjoyment. Maybe I wear it because I want to look good for myself. I can tell you I don't consider wearing blue eyeshadow because it's your fav color.

2- Contouring is NO joke

You may see tutorials of people contouring with different objects on the internet, however for us only semi-pro's we DO NOT play around! We do not consider "trying" to contour our nose for one day. It takes hours of careful practice of how dark to shade and where the lines should fall according to your face shape.

3-We could spend the down payment on a house at Ulta/Sephora.

There's no negotiating, we put aside money every week for our monthly makeup hall. Who needs to pay for college when you can slay your new highlight?

4- There is no "trying" something new while getting ready for an event

We do not just randomly decide to fill in our eyebrows before going to a wedding. We carefully set aside a few hours to delicately test the products, techniques, and tricks to the certain skill we are trying to master. We are not one to try something new the day of.

5- Tutorials have a special place in our heart

This is one time we could spend hours on YouTube. We could watch all of our favorite artists for hours on end. Maybe we aren't interested in trying the product/technique they're demonstrating but yet it's so fascinating.

6- Makeup is an art

It takes talent to make it all blend together and match. You have to learn the process. We don't rush the process, sometimes we need inspiration to do our makeup. We use brushes and colors and we blend and paint and color, we even draw.

7- Primer is important

You wouldn't skip it on a wall before paint, it's even more important when applying makeup. DON'T GET LAZY! Primer will keep your face moisturized and help keep your makeup on

8- Blending is IMPORTANT

Blend everywhere, you neck, your contour, your hairline, even on your ears. We blend religiously. No lines! Without blending contour's could look VERY bad, and so could our foundations, because no matter how hard we try, no shade will ever match perfectly.

9- We don't care if you don't like it

What matters is we like it, if you don't like it refer yourself to #1. We wear vibrant colors or dark eyes for our own confidence. While you may think our smokey eye looks too dark other makeup lovers will know its well-crafted.

10- New makeup= SWATCHES

If you don't swatch your new palettes then do you really even love makeup? I mean come on, swatching is the best part! Swatching is the reason makeup shopping is so fun as well! You should ALWAYS look at the "tester" makeup before buying! You want to know what you're going to get

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
