anywhere<\/em> in public \u2013 you\u2019re a makeup addict.<\/p>\n\n<\/h6>\n2. Carry makeup around with you wherever you go<\/h2>\n
Having a few makeup items in your bag is pretty normal, and seems to be the average amount of makeup that most of us carry around. If the majority of your bag is stacked with endless amounts of beauty and makeup products \u2013 you\u2019re probably a makeup addict.<\/p>\n
3. Don\u2019t ever let your partner\/ friends see you without it on<\/h2>\n
This is a classic symptom of being a makeup addict. If you\u2019re longing to delay the moment when your partner and or friends see you without makeup, this could be a sign that you probably wear too much makeup and that you may have some insecurities about going completely au natural, even around the people closest to you.<\/p>\n
4. Sleep with it on<\/h2>\n
Every one of us has slept in makeup before \u2013 usually, it\u2019s by accident, and it\u2019s never usually a conscious decision we make. If you\u2019re the sort of person who deliberately leaves their makeup on when they go to bed so that you don\u2019t have to reapply a lot the following morning, your makeup habits are becoming unhealthy.<\/p>\n
\n<\/h6>\n5. All of your house\/dorm is covered with makeup products<\/h2>\n
Most of us have a few makeups bags or boxes in our room where we keep all things makeup and beauty related. If your home resembles that of a beauty counter in a shopping mall, your addiction to makeup is going too far.<\/p>\n
6. Spending too much money\/ all of your money on makeup<\/h2>\n
We all know that makeup can be really expensive \u2013 so why buy so much of it? Marketing campaigns lead us to believe that every new mascara that comes out, solves a problem that the previous one didn\u2019t \u2013 and that\u2019s how they get us to spend too<\/em> much on makeup products.<\/p>\nIf you\u2019re a sucker for always buying the latest makeup product and digging deep into your pocket for the cash \u2013 you may slowly be becoming a makeup addict.<\/p>\n
7. You\u2019re a makeup hoarder \u2013 you keep multiples of the same product<\/h2>\n
Nobody likes to waste anything \u2013 but at the same time, nobody likes to keep anything that is of no value or meaning. Once you find a product you love, you hoard it like the world is about to end, and you’re obsessed with keeping multiples of your favourite lipstick shade or eyelid shadow. If that means spending more money than you actually have, then so be it.<\/p>\n
8. No matter what \u2013 there is always a makeup product in your online shopping basket<\/h2>\n
No matter what time of year, there is always something makeup related in your online basket. Whether it\u2019s a discounted lip liner or an eye-watering expensive $50 concealer stick, that basket of yours is never empty.<\/p>\n
\n<\/h6>\n9. You live for YouTube makeup tutorial videos \u2013 and most of them are in your \u2018favourites\u2019 list.<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re like most of us, we\u2019re all guilty of watching the occasional YouTube tutorial on how to apply makeup. If you find yourself watching these more than you watch a Netflix series, you might be becoming a makeup addict.<\/p>\n
10. The Limited Edition of a makeup product and brand \u2013 just \u2018in case\u2019 you need it<\/h2>\n
When Bobbi Brown releases the limited edition of their new lipstick set – you\u2019re one of the first people to purchase it \u2013 even if you have never tried the brand before, and don\u2019t have much intention of ever trying it either. This behaviour screams makeup addict.<\/p>\n
11. The makeup off routine \u2013 is more like a ritual<\/h2>\n
You have a structured and regimented routine when it comes to taking your makeup off at night. It probably involves using multiple makeup removal products and lots of makeup wipes \u2013 this process is never skipped out of respect to your face, and to all of the products, you are going to heap onto it the next morning.<\/p>\n
12. You own way too many packets of face wipes<\/h2>\n
If you notice that you finish an entire packet of face wipes in a few days or a week, this is an alarming sign that you wear too much of it.<\/p>\n
13. Your Birthday\/ Christmas wish list is made up 95% of makeup products.<\/h2>\n
Yes, you don\u2019t mind the occasional pair of cool sneakers or even some bedazzling jewellery, but what really melts your heart is receiving those small little lipstick boxes and those compact concealer sets.<\/p>\n
14. You\u2019re a contouring Queen and overly proud.<\/h2>\n
Contouring is all the trend, and being a self \u2013 proclaimed contouring Queen is no different. If you find yourself constantly talking about anything and everything contour \u2013 related, you\u2019re probably letting this makeup life consume you too much.<\/p>\n
15. You fought for the bigger bathroom in your dorm \u2013 even though all your makeup stays in your room<\/h2>\n
You fought your ground with other students when it came to you getting the biggest bathroom in your college dorm so that your makeup would have a cosy home. In spite of this, you still leave all your makeup in your room – seriously symptomatic of a makeup addict.<\/p>\n
