If you’re overwhelmed by the masterfully contoured faces and perfectly arched brows, remember that you’re not alone. Makeup is not the most important thing in the world, but let’s be honest, many women dream of knowing how to perfectly accentuate their cheekbones or how to make their lips look fuller.
Here are the 8 struggles every woman who’s not that great at applying makeup fully understands:
1. Looking like a clown when you try to wear blush
It doesn’t matter if you use powder, cream blush or cheek tint you always end up looking like a clown.
2. Redoing your winged eyeliner 10 times before giving up
It feels like you’re never going to have the perfect cat eye.
3. Praying you have naturally full eyebrows because you don’t know how to fill them in
You don’t even know how to choose the right shade of eyebrow pencil.
4. You don’t know what to use first, is it concealer or foundation?
You just go with the flow!
5. You always buy brightly colored makeup, but you’re afraid to use it
You love the way some wear blue eyeliner and you want to try it too. Unfortunately, you always end up wearing your everyday brown liner.
6. Your lipstick never stays more than 1,2 hours
And you somehow always end up having some lipstick on your teeth!
7. You always beg your talented friend to do your makeup before special events
It’s nice to have a friend who knows makeup that well.
8. You constantly watch contouring tutorials, but you end up with disastrous results
You expected to look like Kim Kardashian, didn’t you?
