Thoughts Every Girl Has While Applying Her Makeup


First off, you don't need makeup to look beautiful; however, some women love the idea of it and how it looks on them. You are not alone in how you think when you are applying your makeup. Here are some things every girl has said while applying her makeup.



Foundation:

Wow, have I always had that freckle? Why are my cheeks so red? Do you think that if I use my friend's shade, no one will notice? Is this spread evenly? What is the purpose of this brush actually? Am I doing this right? Go back to that tutorial I just watched; somehow it didn't turn out as flawless as hers. Alright, if I restart, then I have to ration the rest of my time on eyeliner; which is more important? I guess it looks OK. I mean, I covered up the main parts. Time to add just a tad of blush and I'm done with step one. So many more to go, but I will look great.

Eye Shadow:

Primer, check. Colors I think will match my outfit, check. With this clash? Maybe I shouldn't use that color. Black always works with everything. What do I do if I mess up? Then I have to add more foundation in order to even out the spot I had to take off. OK, if I don't do eye shadow, then I can always just do eyeliner. Or both. OK, well, this eye shadow will look OK and it's not too overpowering. Which brush is for what spot again? How do I blend this together so well like they did in the video? How many colors are put into making this look so nice? If I add this will I mess the entire thing up? Maybe I should just go bold anyway.

Eyeliner:

Time for the eyeliner. Where is the best place to start? Why is it so uncomfortable to do this? If I bend my arm this way I can get a better angle. Wow, I can't believe it didn't take me crazy long to get this side. Maybe I'm starting to get good. No. No. No. No. How could I have blinked and messed it all up? Why does the universe hate me? Time to get rid of what I did and try again. All right, not too bad. Not as good and as pretty as the first one, but not bad. I'm running low on time, so I guess I will start the next side. I must bend my art to be pretty. This takes a lot of patience. Wow, this looks so good. Time to compare the two. Wait, how did I manage to make that one thinner than the other? Alright, I can fix this. Just add a bit more here, a tad there, and great. Wait, now the wing is off on that one. Man, I can never get this right. OK, just add a bit more on the other and call it a day. They're sisters, not twins, right?

Eyebrows:

Plucking, waxing, shaving, filling in. Where to start? Which is needed? Plucking and waxing hurt like, but shaving them will make them grow back thicker. Wait, what is that threading thing? Maybe we can go get that done next time. Now, to fill them in, pick the correct color, and draw on in order to make them look nice and real to others. And remember they are sisters, not twins. Time to start. How did I manage to pick the one color that I own that doesn't match my hair color? This needs to be fixed ASAP. Now time to work on the two eyebrows. They look nice, but like I said with the eyeliner, they are sisters, not twins.

Mascara:

Now that the hard parts are taken care of, I just need to get through a few more steps of looking flawless. Wait, does this brush actually help make my eyelashes thicker and longer? Wait, how do I know how long they were before? Why do I look weird every time I put on mascara? Isn't there one moment when I can be attractive for once?


Lipstick:

The last step other than makeup setter. So, what color looks best? No, not that one! This one is cute. (Rubs on hand.) Wait, this is a beautiful color, and I can't wait to see more. Now that I have this color, it just makes sense to use it without getting any on my teeth. (Looks in mirror.) Of course. Just my luck, all over my front tooth. Maybe if instead of the Kylie Jenner lips, I just do a natural color. It can balance out the major eyeliner I did today. Perfect!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
