We all have that one friend that has all of the nice makeup and looks like a goddess no matter where they go. Her brows always nice and filled in, her eyeliner perfectly winged, she always looks perfect. But then there you are, buying your makeup at Walgreens and only barely knowing how to do a smoky eye look. Here are 5 things that you can probably relate to if you don’t really get makeup.

1. You can't keep up with makeup tutorials.

All the beauty gurus you see on YouTube and Instagram really blow your mind. You try to do the seemingly simpler looks, but yours comes out looking entirely different. You also don’t have the name brand eyeshadow pallets, so your colors are completely off. You try your hardest, but it never comes out the way it’s supposed to.

2. You don’t understand why people spend so much money on products.

Altogether, your makeup may cost $30-$40. That’s including foundation, loose powder, mascara, eyeliner, etc., and you take advantage of your Ulta birthday gifts to rack up a little collection. However, your goddess friend spent $50 on her last eyeshadow pallet, which only came with 8 different colors. This completely blows my mind. I don’t even like spending $20 on food, so to spend that so much on makeup is insane to me. Not that I wouldn’t want any of it, it’s all really pretty. I just definitely do not want to spend that much on it.

3. Your makeup looks the same almost every single day.

You’ve found a look that’s easy and doable for you, so you make it work every day. Other people, on the other hand, try a different look for different outfits. Their lipstick always matches their shirt, and their eyeliner is so precise that it could hurt someone. When you try to do a new look, you just look plain scary. It’s hard to try to experiment and it turn out looking right.


4. Your Halloween looks are actually scary.

Like in Mean Girls, a lot of girls try to look cute and sexy for their Halloween festivities, with their cute deer makeup or doll face paint. But you try to look cute and turn out looking like something straight out of a horror movie. You could never figure out how to get that cue look that makes you look like a mouse. But it’s okay, you always win the costume contest.

5. You don't feel like your makeup looks that bad.

Even though you don’t have all of the expensive pallets and can only figure out how to do your eyeliner one way, you still look good, gal. Just because you’re not a professional doesn’t mean you aren’t just as beautiful as your friends who are makeup masters.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
