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.

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.
