How. Do. They. Do. That?
Magic? Luck? A unicorn sneezed glitter and beautiful, complimentary colors onto their face?!
I have watched hundreds of YouTube videos in the past three years, most of which have been makeup tutorials. Before you judge me, let me explain that this is how I unwind. My entire life, I have needed to have a creative outlet — drawing classes, painting canvases and now makeup. I de-stress by sitting at my desk with my makeup, watching YouTube tutorials and practicing. I am currently subscribed to 41 beauty vloggers and I own 18 lipsticks. I swear this isn't excessive... it's extensive research!
Here are just 16 thoughts I have while watching a makeup tutorial:
1. Youtube is my homepage, again, please don't judge me.
2. *Goes straight to my subscriptions and clicks on the latest makeup tutorial. What did the title say? Idk! If there's makeup involved, I am going to watch!
3. *Anxiously waits throughout the intro — Let's cut the talking and get to the makeup, ladies and gents!
4. Is that a primer or a magic eraser- Be gone, pores!
5. OMG! That foundation makes her skin look FLAWLESS! I need it in my life! *Adds to Sephora cart
6. It's probably because of her beauty sponge. Everyone loves a good beauty sponge. Dabdabdabdabdab.
7. Can I brow-ow your eyebrow products? Because yours are on FLEEK! That reminds me, I should tweeze mine...
8. Middle fingers up, tell them dark circles "bye." Tell them dark circles, "bye."
9. Prediction: Creme Brulee and Cocoa Bear in the crease. Nailed it!
10. Blend. Blend, Blend. Blend. Blend. Blend.
11. I see the light from the heavens shining down on your glittery lid shade!!
12. A moment of silence for the gel liner. WHAT?! How did it glide on so effortlessly?! It looks like I dipped my finger in Nutella and wiped it across my eyelid!
13. Bronzed goddess! She went to Cancun and back in the matter of seconds, no biggie.
14. Must have: Milani Lumnioso blush. It's oh-so beautiful!
15. I'm blinded by the highlight! #iaintsorry
16. Seal the deal with the blood of your enemies. JUST KIDDING! Use an obsessive amount of Mac Fix+.
Voila! Another masterpiece, or another lesson learned.
Bottom line: If you're feelin' yourself, do you boo! Makeup or not, you are flawless :)
