LAZY BEAUTY GIRLS

You’re definitely guilty of one of these eight sins

Honestly: as a beauty editor I’m definitely guilty of some of the things you’re about to read. Yes, I prefer to go through life glowing and looking radiant, but I too drink the occasional glass of wine and find myself not in the mood to get rid of my makeup. And sure, sometimes instead of getting rid of my old polish, I’ll just add on a new layer. Talk about being lazy. Anyways, want to bet you’re guilty of doing at least one of the below?

1. Cleansing

The first three points are going to be all about cleansing because you’ve definitely gone three days with one cotton swab before. Yes, you use it to get rid of your mascara, but what you’re actually doing is using something dirty to clean your face. Get it? Doesn’t work.

2. Cleansing 2.0

Not doing it at all. The only way of washing your face is with a splash of water. Only to then spot foundation and mascara streaks on your pillow the morning after. Not a smart move.

3. Cleansing 3.0

You haven’t properly cleansed your face for a couple of days and the night that you do decided to do it, you go all out. You use all your facial cleansers and creams only to then forget about doing it for yet another week.

4. Shaving and smearing

You only shave the parts of your body people see. I’m focusing on your legs. Ankle length skirt? You only shave the area around your ankles. Wearing ripped jeans? You make sure to shave the area where the rips are. Oh, the same goes for smearing creams onto your body. No way that you spend your mornings taking care of your entire body. You’re only sticking to the areas that are visible.

5. Selftan

Another one of those things. It requires patience. The two things all lazy people deal with is that 1: you don’t apply it on carefully leaving you with weird streaks and marks or 2: you smear it on and head straight to bed leaving marks all over your bed linen. Patience is key here, it’ll make it last longer too.

6. Layer by layer

Didn’t clean your face and still have some traces of mascara on your lashes? If you think it still looks good, you’re wrong. Out of pure laziness you just add on an extra layer of mascara.

7. Outdated makeup

The shelf life of makeup? Believe me, it exists. And its important to keep track of because you don’t want any irritations on your skin, in your eyes or anywhere for that matter.

8. Nail polish

Instead of getting rid of your nail polish which is starting to chip off, you just add another layer onto it. And another. And another.
