Makeup is such a unique thing. It is an art, and yet it is an everyday activity for a lot of people. It is used to make features stand out, and it is used to hide certain features. It can make you look like a different person, but it can also make you look like just about anything if the artist has the talent for it. It is amazing what people can do with makeup, and anyone can do it.

1. There is a space in your home dedicated to makeup

As expensive as it is, it might as well have its own room.

2. Traveling gets stressful

3. You have found your lifelong motto

Every morning you repeat “sisters not twins” to yourself as you try to convince yourself that your eyebrows and eyeliner don’t look like distant cousins.

4. YouTube tutorials have saved you many times

Whether it is learning how to do new trends or techniques or just learning the basics, YouTube has become a lifesaver in the makeup community.

5. You love/hate new trends

New trends are fun to try, but a lot of them do not stick around for long and some require buying expensive products. However, without new trends highlighting and contouring would be a completely foreign idea to most of us.

6. You clearly have your priorities straight

Do I want a new lipstick or food tonight…?

7. Purchases can be a bit impractical

Yes, I will definitely have a use for Jeffree Star’s black highlighter…

8. You become judgmental about others’ makeup

We all know it is not cool to judge people, but I cannot help but cringe when I see a pair of comma eyebrows walk down the street. We have all been at a makeup low so it’s more of an empathy thing anyway.

9. You also experience makeup envy

We all know the feeling of seeing superior makeup and wondering how the hell the person creates such majestic beauty…

10. You secretly love it when you’re asked to do somebody’s makeup

People often feel bad asking because they think it is an inconvenience, but you love showing off and having other people compliment your work.

11. You know you are beautiful without your makeup

People who love makeup are often told that they do not need it or they should wear less, but most of us know that we do not need it. We love the art. We love trying new techniques and learning different styles. It is not about covering up your natural features. It is about showing your personality by accentuating the features we love.
