1. The moment when you look in the mirror in just the right light

and see a long dark hair sprouting from your chin. How long has it been there and why don’t I carry tweezers on me at all times?!

2. When your boss/interviewer/crush/anyone with significant importance

tells you that you have lipstick on your teeth.

3. When you realise midway through curling your hair

that you have been curling it the wrong way. It’s supposed to be away from the face – agggh!

4. When you’re trying to hide the fact that you’re super sweaty on the tube

and casually wipe your forehead only to remove all your foundation from your eyebrows upwards.

5. When your hairdresser promises they won’t cut your fringe too short

but proceeds to ruin your life by giving you the Jim Carrey Dumb and Dumber ‘do.

6. When the only thing you want to do in life is tie your hair up

but neither you, nor anyone in the near vicinity has a hair band.

7. When you’re wearing ripped jeans

and realise there’s a massive patch of hair you forgot to shave on your knees.

8. When you genuinely consider making a tourniquet

after you cut yourself shaving and it will not stop bleeding.

9. When you decide to go for an impromptu hair colour change

and end up crying on the bathroom floor. You promised me iced chocolate, not Severus Snape.

10. And when you get hair dye all over your towels,

shower curtain, floor and toilet seat…just to rub salt in those fresh wounds.

11. When you finally trust someone to thread your eyebrows

after months of growing those bad boys back and they leave you looking like Jafar.

12. When you step out in daylight

only to realise your foundation doesn’t match your neck. We’re going to need a turtle neck ASAP over here.

13. When you spend all morning perfecting your winged eyeliner

only for your eyes to start uncontrollably weeping once they see bright sunlight.

14. When you wake up after a late night fake tanning sesh

and wonder if extreme streaking is an acceptable excuse for a sick day.

15. When the mother of all spots pops up on your chin

and you left your make-up at home.

16. When it’s the night before your holiday,

you haven’t packed, you need to leave for the airport in 2 hours but you’re in the shower shaving your entire body after weeks of overgrowth.

17. When you hug someone

and realise you left a foundation mark on their top. 99.9% of the time this is guaranteed to be an attractive man in a suit at a wedding.

18. When you open your powder

only to discover it shattered in your bag.

not my highlight #Makeuplolz ✨

19. And when you put the lid on your lipstick

before rolling it all the way down.
