    31 Reasons Wearing Eyeliner Can Be A Beautiful Nightmare

    The longer the wing, the higher you fly.

    1. As any makeup addict will tell you, eyeliner is awesome.

    2. It can look flirty af...

    3. ...Or fierce as hell.

    4. But eyeliner is ALSO a CURSE INVENTED IN SATAN'S BEAUTY LAB.

    5. I mean, let's just look at our options: Pencil liners? Literally Satan's crayons.

    6. Then again, pencil liners do offer you nice precision and control.

    7. A liquid liner is great if you want to see how fast sneezing can ruin your life.

    8. But also, oooooo when you get it just right? It creates a nice, smooth, evenly dark line.

    9. And gel liners are actually pretty great, but watch out: if you apply with a brush, things will get all gunky real fast.

    10. Either way, you know this: Q-Tips are your friend.

    11. Also, if you work out, applying eyeliner after an Arm Day at the gym is just... Sigh.

    12. The best is when you get your eyeliner perfect, and then: You see a sad video online and it's all ruined.

    13. Or you forget you're even wearing makeup and rub your eyes.

    14. That said, you can always carry makeup removing wipes + eyeliner in your makeup bag.

    15. You try to emulate a look from the runway or a magazine and it just... does not work.

    16. So you try and fix your eyeliner situation and end up smearing it all over everything.

    17. But when you get it right? Whoa.

    18. Applying it to your waterline? Whatever. That's terrifying.

    19. Although it does look prettyyyyy great once you've practiced the technique.

    20. Once you do get it right, you have to make sure not to blink and risk ruining it all over again.

    21. You leave your house thinking your makeup looks DRAMATIC yet ON POINT...

    22. ...And then, in the light of day, you realize you look like you fell face-first into a circus tent full of clowns.

    23. But think of it this way: Being bold means risk.

    24. Of course, realizing you have janky eyeliner is a great, simple way to ruin your day.

    25. But this is but a momentary setback! Sharpen those wings! They are your weapons!

    26. Then you notice it: YOUR WINGS. ARE. UN. EVEN.

    27. You figure, nbd, I can fix this. I've got skills.

    28. You then try to even things out MORE and end up looking like a FREAKING PANDA BEAR.

    29. But I mean. Pandas are cute, right? This is cute. (Is this cute?)

    30. But you know what? That's fine. The longer the wing, the higher you fly.

    31. Because, despite the~ struggles,~ you know you look amazing when your eyeliner is on point.
