Eyelash curlers and lipsticks

7 beauty things that men really don't understand

Now that I've been doing this work for a few years, my husband has become quite accustomed to the world of beauty. Look, he had to swallow when I walked in with boxes full of (I'm not exaggerating) beauty products at the live together, but by now he just happily applies it and almost knows the difference between argan oil and macadamia oil. There are still some things he doesn't understand. And where probably a lot of Dutch men can relate.

Short haircut

I am very pro new haircuts, but men often want nothing to do with it. Because a visit to the barber means shorter hair anyway, and that's where the confusion often starts. They immediately think of a boy's haircut and just that makes it a difficult story.

The eyelash curler

Can come across as a very exciting device. And that you also have to hold that device against your eyes to give your eyelashes a curl. Doesn't. Understand.

Manicure

I have my nails painted every two weeks so that I don't have to look at them afterwards. I'm just too impatient to do it myself, resulting in the first stroke or swipe being in place after a minute. So back to the two weeks, I think that's all quite manageable. But when I go, he acts like I've already been there yesterday. Sigh. Eyebrows and eyelashes.

Men don't understand much about the

full eyebrow trend adding eyelashes or . They also find it complete nonsense that you fill in your eyebrows with a pencil to give them a bit more strength. I immediately come to the eyelashes, because fake lashes is definitely a word that needs to be pronounced three times before they understand it. Really, the two basic things for expression in your face just don't come through.. Now that I've been doing this work for a few years, my husband has become quite accustomed to the world of beauty.
