8 Things That Happen When You're a Girl and Don't Understand Makeup

I feel like most people just assume that knowing how to use makeup is built into every girl’s DNA when she’s born. Hahaha... Yeah, so not true. I honestly have no idea how to use any type of makeup, but oh well, right? People in the 1800s didn’t have makeup, so why do we? Besides, the whole concept is just covering up your actual face with fake products that are centered around your appearance. I’m sorry, but I just don’t see why makeup sounds fun to people. Like, what’s the point of even trying to understand this beyond complicated system??

1. Before we start to talk about applying makeup, can we just talk about how confusing the aisles are

I’d probably be less confused trying to get out of the Bermuda Triangle than I am when I have to look for the makeup I’m trying to find.

2. When you do find what you’re looking for, you end up buying the wrong thing

Dang it, I accidentally bought PURPLE mascara?! Why is colored mascara a thing? We all know you weren't born with colored eyelashes!

3. You only buy the basic mascara, eyeliner, and foundation because that's all you know how to use


Even that might be too much…I guess we’re getting risky here...

4. When you were younger and your mom bought you those makeup kits, it was nothing but a complete fail for you


And you probably don’t wear eye shadow anymore because it still turns out like this…

5. Since your “makeup routine” only takes two minutes max, you’re always the one friend ready way before everyone else


...and then you have to sit around being irritated by your makeup educated friends

6. You’ll never understand why some people think caked on makeup looks good


You have a clean face right under there…what are you doing?? Why is this a thing??

7. Don’t even get me started on why people think that winged eyeliner looks good

You are a human, not a bird! Sorry not sorry...

8. Your friends are constantly asking to give you makeovers


SHUT UP I LOOK FINE.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
