Mucho obsessed

Oh and subscription boxes! Wow, no one can tell you anything about them, can they? Because you have them all from Birchbox to Cohorted. 

In fact, subscription box arrival day is the best day of the month. You eagerly await the postman to make sure you get your mitts on the latest products before all the spoilers come out across social media. Woe betide him if he is late for any reason!

Obsessed

How come for years we were fine just slathering on your foundation with our hands, but now no one would dream of it? Now we have to use a beauty blender, slightly damp, of course. Or a flat stippling brush for that airbrushed feel.

Another sign that you are obsessed with makeup is that you are aware of products that other people haven't even heard of. You have a stocks of things like camouflage makeup that is highly pigmented and waterproof once sealed with powder. So not only do you look great every time you step out the door. But you can also do amazing things like cover over scars, birthmarks, and even tattoos if you need to!

Kind of obsessed

You know that you are kind of obsessed with makeup when you go out, and all your friends are wowed by your look. I mean, they just really love it, and they think that maybe makeup is your new job! But you've just been clocking up some extra hours watching tutorials on Youtube.

If your nearest and dearest start asking for makeover or lessons you know you are a true makeup aficionado.

It's likely that if you are pretty obsessed that you will have a special section in your handbag to keep your travel sized items too. Which are used for topping up your look as you are out and about. If there is not just a lipstick in there, but a makeup fixing spray, an eyebrow pencil, and some pressed powder. Then you have got to realize that you are kind of obsessed with the stuff, right?

Not that bothered actually

You may think that you are not that bothered about makeup, but here's a question you should answer. Do you go more than one day a week without wearing the stuff? 

If you do, you could argue that this means your not bothered at all! Or maybe you are so obsessed with the stuff, that you know that you should give you face a break to breathe. So then it looks its best for the other 6 days a week?
