Do You Share Your Makeup?
What were we thinking in 5th grade when we all thought it was a most excellent idea to have a community Bonnie Bell Lip Balm? Or later in high school when our best friend applied her gloss and slipped it to us to do the same….
Ugh no.
Sharing makeup so not a good idea.
Honestly, I’m a little different when it comes to makeup sharing I guess because it was never a thing for me.
I remember when I was 10ish and girl’s in my class would ALL share the same lip balm. You’d think I’d want in on some of that action. You know, it was a rite of passage, a bonding of sorts, a sense of belonging…but nope! I wasn’t that girl. I absolutely would not use a lip balm that touched a friend’s lips no matter how super close I was to them! Later on in life when I entered my freshman year of High School I become best friends with a super popular girl. She was gorgeous, I felt like a complete dork standing next to her but oh so proud I got to call her my best friend. Anyway, she was an over sharer….! When I tried my first cigarette (that was the first and last puff, I’m not a smoker) I refused to puff the one she had her lips on. She was also the type to give everyone her gloss to wear. I lost count of the amount of people that ended up wearing that single lipgloss she kept stashed in her locker.
I’m proud to say I wasn’t one of the ones wearing it!
As a child and a teen I was never one for sharing a hair brush, lipgloss, etc….I know many go through a stage where makeup sharing is kinda a thing! But I think we ALL grow out of it and realize it isn’t a a great idea!
Have you or do you currently share makeup with anyone?
A sister?
Friend?
Or are you as anal as I am about your makeup and simply NOT interested in sharing.
