5 Things I Learned From Beauty Gurus

It is no secret that I love love love YouTube. I could waste whole days watching beauty videos. I watch beauty gurus and people who are normal everyday people like me. I never have claimed to know what I was doing when it came to makeup. I honestly have no clue what I am doing most of the time. I like to watch the people who know what they are doing so that maybe one day I will have the skills to make my face look flawless like they do. Here are 5 things I have learned from binge watching YouTube beauty gurus.

1. Concealer goes over foundation.

This one makes me seem a little dumb, I know. Okay, let's be real here. I see concealer and think "this goes on first to cover up my pimples". I in no way would have thought that you put concealer on after foundation, because why not cover your blemishes first?

2. Eyeshadow primer is key.

I do not claim to be great at makeup but I think I can make my eyeshadow look pretty good. Eyeshadow has always been my favorite makeup product. I love doing my eyes and making them pop. I also notice that after a few hours there are lines on my eyelids from my eyeshadow. Until recently I had no clue why this was. Its because you should use a primer to make everything stick better and stay in place. WHAT?! Never knew this...

3. Lip Primer.

Another type of primer, I know. I honestly only knew about foundation primer until not too long ago. Growing up I remember my grandma putting on chapstick before her lipstick so that's what I thought you did. Well now we have actual lip primer and I am still not sure what the difference is but ,eh who cares?

4. Baking.

The first time I heard this in a video I honestly thought that it was a joke. Like "oh now it's time to bake". I was so confused but then I heard it more and more and I was really confused. What the heck does this mean? Now I could be wrong but from what I've gathered it is when you put a powder under your eyes to help set that area and then after a few minutes, you brush it off... Uh ok.

5. Contouring

Contouring is still a little bit foreign to me. I don't really get how to do it and what colors to use for each step. I know this is something that a lot of people are doing and I just don't get it. Sure it sculpts your face and brings out features but it seems like a lot of work to make it look good. Some people fail at it and look like my three year old sister did their make-up. I seriously just do not understand the whole process.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
