I have a confession, I find it extremely gross to get make over done in a makeup counter. Don’t get me wrong, I love learning new tips from the experienced makeup artists, trying new products and colours on me but just not big on using products on display counters straight to my face.
Reason behind this is that no matter how clean and hygienic you think you are; the next uneducated customer is just going to come along, dig their dirty finger onto the makeup products on display and apply it to their face. I have seen people apply lipstick on display to their lips, JUST LIKE THAT, using the liner on display on their eyes, JUST LIKE THAT, using the bronzers on display and buffing away, JUST LIKE THAT. Gross much? It is disturbing and is a major ground for breeding infections.
This is the same reason why I would never swim in a public pool. The thought of while I do not piss in the swimming pool but that doesn’t stop someone else from doing so and I don’t want to drown myself in someone else’s piss. Major gross. I know, I am weird.
As a result, I only trial beauty products at the counter on the back of my hand unless it is a pump bottle product.
Do you feel the same way?
When a man gets all tough and serious, they call it being a man.
When a woman does the same, they’ll call her a bitch.
When a man makes a mistake, they call it learning.
When a woman makes a mistake, they’ll call her stupid.
When a man gets success, they call it hardwork.
When a woman gets success, they call it luck.
I suppose sometimes the only difference between a budding genius and a blooming idiot is where they choose to take a stand.
I’ve met many makeup artists (MA) throughout my years and I’ll be honest, not many of them make me walking away feeling entirely satisfied.
So I was talking to a MA the other day and he let on that not many MAs are confident with applying makeup on Asian features and when they do they overload and pile on way too many makeup to overcompensate the lack of definition
Personally, I really hate it when the MA
- matches a shade or two darker than my natural skin colour for foundation and I almost ALWAYS end up with darker face and lighter neck
- don’t listen when I say the shade is too dark on me or that I would prefer to skip the bronzer step
- or when they don’t even show you where they are up to and by the time you get your paws on a mirror its already too late
- when they don’t let you choose what you feel comfortable with and proceed to pile it onto your eyes
- messes with your hair or rest their hand (full of makeup residue of course) on your hair, I HATE THAT!
Have you had any bad MA experience?
Lately, I’ve came across a few things that made me sad; sad because people or things could get so out of control and all of which I did not see coming. Actually scrap that, I saw some of it coming.
- People who take things for granted
- People who assume you know everything and blame you later for not knowing
- People who would betray everyone’s trust and scam
- People who backstab and having to hear about it one year later
- People who are just plain nasty, mean and manipulative
- People who have no manners or common courtesy
- People who has clearly grown up but left their mentality and brains back in high school
- People who have split personality
- People who turn a blind eye on crime
- People who ‘claims’ to do the right thing by doing the wrong thing not knowingly
- People who choose to be with negative people
Now that I have purged all the negativity in my life, I can’t wait to going back to a clean, fresh slate.
Try it sometime, you’ll be happier!
There’s two types of people who rides the train:
- People who shove to board the train and people who don’t
- People who stink with bad breathe and people who don’t
- People who have BO and people who don’t
- People who push to squeeze in and people who don’t
- People who step over your feet and do not apologise and people who apologise
- People who blast their music through their headphones and people who don’t
- People who ignores elderly/pregnant woman in need of a seat and people who acknowledge
I catch the train to work everyday and let me tell you this, I come across at least one of annoying people like that each day. FML.
So I have been reading all these skinny bashing articles and posts across various media lately and felt a little overwhelmed by all these coverage. I don’t know about you but these all seem a little hypocritical to me.
With all the skinny models, actresses, Photoshopped images and Australia still manage to be one of the most obese country IN THE WORLD, can you imagine when they start embracing bigger girls in magazines and fashion shows?
