I LOVE makeup. My face is almost always done up, and, unfortunately for my boyfriend, our drawers are cluttered with palettes and lip glosses. I am obsessed with creating different looks, and sometimes I even dabble with SFX makeup. That being said, I've seen a lot of things that people criticize others for wearing makeup. It's annoying, tiring, and well...None of their business.
Here are 15 things us girls who wear makeup are tired of hearing:
1. "You're wearing makeup to impress a guy."
First of all, I don't need to have a guy's approval on my face in order to feel good. If I don't wear makeup, my boyfriend loves me. If I wear makeup, my boyfriend loves me. If a guy judges you depending on what you may or may not wear on your face, you're with/talking to the wrong one.
2. "You look like a cake-face."
Honestly, yeah, sometimes I might. A lot of products go on my face. I use primer, foundation, concealer, powder, eye makeup, highlight, and bronzer. Depending on the weather, it could look greasy or flaky, and it's not a big deal because I can just touch it up. Yes, sometimes I wear a lot of makeup. And what about it?
3. "Stop buying makeup, you have enough."Â
B*tch, HAHA!!! You will not be telling me what I can and can't do. If I work hard for my money and want the newest Jeffree Star Cosmetics collection to go with my Anastasia Beverly Hills palette, let me shop in peace. I'm using it all, aren't I??
4. "That lip color is too unique."
And you WANT to look the same as everyone else? Can't relate. I will wear teal, pink, or orange lipstick, and you can watch me rock it.
5. "Take some of the makeup off, you have too much on."Â
I do not want to hear it. I will wear no makeup, or I will wear a full face. Maybe I'm just wearing my favorite mascara, or maybe I made myself look like a doll. I can put whatever I want on my own face.
6. "Doesn't that take forever?"
Yes, it's a process sometimes, but if I'm the one doing it, what does it matter to you?
7. "Makeup is overrated."Â
The funniest part is, I can't recall asking for your opinion!!
8. "Don't you ever get tired of doing the same thing every day?"
The same thing? Excuse me? I do not use the same eyeshadows, blending techniques, or lip colors every single day. Maybe if you paid attention you would realize that!!
9. "Try looking more natural."
Oh...Yeah...You see...No. I'll look however I want.
10. "You must be insecure with all that makeup."
Maybe once a long time ago, but I love me with or without my mask on!!
11. "You wouldn't look like that without makeup on."
Are you meaning to tell me that without makeup on I have a few more blemishes or some wrinkles???? My eyebrows aren't always this dark??? My eyelids aren't always yellow and orange with a black wing??? My lips are not forever baby pink and sparkly??? What??? There's no way...
12. "Take her swimming on the first date."
Go ahead, take me. I can practice swimming TF away from you— or even teach you how to drown!
13. "Why do you have three of the same lipsticks?"
They're different, sorry you can't tell the color difference between red, orange red, and magenta.
14. "You pay to put on products just to wipe them off a few hours later."
And you pay to carbonated alcoholic yeast and grain water, just for it to last you a whole 20 seconds while you shotgun it to seem cool in front of your friends. Next.
15. "Are you sick?"
Yeah, sick of you asking me stupid questions.
