You Know You’re A Makeup Addict When…
Hi, we’re Stylight and we’re makeup addicts. We’re unapologetically obsessed with makeup and we have no plan on changing anytime soon. Sound familiar? No judgement here, babes, this is a safe space.
If you know which mascaras are the best, what eco-friendly brands are the cool new kids on the beauty block, how to properly wash your face, chances are you’re at risk of being a makeup addict, too. But we wondered: What are the real signs of makeup addiction? When is a knowledge of which eye makeup flatters your eye colour entering pathological territory? No need to be ashamed, we’re right there with ya. These are the 10 signs you’re a makeup addict.
1. Eyebrows ain’t no thang for you anymore.
You’ve got that technique on lockdown. You get annoyed with all of this buzzy microblading everyone’s getting into. It’s like, ugh, just learn how to properly pluck/fill them in. Duh
2. You’ve got the cat eye down pat.
You mastered that bad boy years ago.
3. You’ve no time for over lining your lips.
…You’re far too concerned with what the next Pinterest lip colour craze is. (And it’s rose gold, by the by.)
4. It physically pains you to see anyone drop their makeup palette.
A cracked eyeshadow or contour kit is the right way to torture you.
5. On that note, airport security’s your idea of a nightmare.
What the heck are you going to do? You have beauty products – expensive ones – and excuseeee you if they’re not less than 100mL. Or that they practically fill the entire carry-on baggage weight limit.
6. You don’t know where all of your money goes.
…And then you realise it’s in your bathroom drawer. And bathroom cabinet. And bag. And bedside table.
7. There is nothing sexier to you than a freshly opened [insert beauty product here].
Literally any glorious new makeup purchase will do.
8. You know shade names of every one of your favourite brands’ products.
Like a beautiful Rain Man of makeup.
9. You've never met a free sample you didn’t like.
So that’s what’s taking up so much space in your under-sink cupboard…
10. You have more brushes than hair on your head.
And you take care of those lovelies like they were your children.
