15 Struggles Anyone Who Loves Makeup Will Understand

The love-hate relationship we all have with our makeup.

15 Struggles Anyone Who Loves Makeup Will Understand

1. Feeling your foundation melt off on a hot day

Surviving warm summer days with your makeup intact is one of the most difficult tasks to endure.

2. Making plans with a friend and getting a text that reads “I’ll be there in 20”

Do you not realize it takes me 20 minutes just to decide which Naked palette to use?

3. Getting a paycheck and immediately running to Sephora

I have no self-control, but I honestly don’t care.

4. Having one eyebrow that always looks amazing, but the other that can't get it together

I can always count on my left eyebrow, but I don't even trust the right one.

5. Making your winged eyeliner PERFECT, but then realizing you have no idea how to replicate it onto your other eye

I never have more focus, concentration, or artistic ability than when I’m trying to get that perfect winged eyeliner.

6. Thinking your makeup is flawless, but then walking into different lighting and it’s a completely different story

How can some lighting be so nice to me, but other lighting be so cruel?

7. Before vs. After a night out

Nothing is worse than coming home, looking in a mirror, and wondering, “At what point did half of my eyebrow rub off and why didn’t anyone tell me one of my lashes fell off?”

8. Watching one innocent tutorial on contouring turns into a four hour binge fest of makeup tutorials

I swear my makeup tutorial binges are worse than my Netflix binges.

9. “I’m going to do natural makeup today.”

Somehow whenever I say this I end up with a smokey eye and winged eyeliner?

10. When someone tries to touch your face

My highlight is my pride and joy; do not take that away from me with your sticky hands.

11. Getting your mascara perfect… and then blinking

Is looking like a raccoon in style?

12. Or worse… getting your face makeup perfect and then smearing your face with your mascara

RIP to my contour.

13. Having the best makeup day, but not leaving the house

I’ll post a selfie on my story, it’s basically the same thing, right?

14. Listening to people say, “You would be so much prettier if you didn’t wear SO much makeup”.

I do not need you or your negativity in my life.

15. Always running out of space for your makeup

I don’t think there will ever be a time where I’ve completed my makeup collection, but I don’t want to live in a world where that happens.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

11 Things I Learned My Freshman Year of College

Not everything you learn in college can be found in a textbook.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
