What’s Your Most Awesome Beauty Superpower? And Your Lamest?

Outside of the very, very disappointing dress reveal in Pretty In Pink (not only was the dress wrong she also choose the wrong guy! Duckie for the win!) one of the lamest things Molly Ringwald ever had to do on film was slip her lipstick between her breasts and apply it to her lips in the Breakfast Club. To this day I’m still trying to wrap my head around that one. I’m not saying I haven’t tried it, I have, but it’s still sort of a lame beauty superpower.

What’s your most awesome beauty superpower? Something you really excel at? For those of you jumping in to say, “My superpower is apply liquid eyeliner!” just know I am so jealous. I suck at liquid eyeliner application! To this day I still haven’t mastered that flick!

I know my lame beauty superpower. Applying way too much blush! Clown cheeks? I has ’em!

I dunno what my most awesome beauty superpower is. I don’t really have one! Unless you count taking really good care of my skin a superpower! In that case, I excel at it! But I wouldn’t say my eyeshadow blending skills are a superpower, nor any real makeup skin…! I do have a great ability to conceal my tired, puffy eyes so I look like I got 12 hours of sleep versus 6 or 8. I’m pretty good at applying it in a way it’s not visible and looks very natural!

Is organizing makeup a superpower? I’m totally great at that too! You’d be amazed at how ridiculously anal I am about organizing my stash.

What about you?

What’s your most awesome and your lamest beauty superpower?

Do share!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I think I’m pretty good at blush since it’s usually what gets the compliments. Liquid liner will never be a talent of mine.

    I loved Jon Cryer and Annie Potts in that movie, not much else. And I didn’t care for the dress either, no waistline!
    I wouldn’t say I have any beauty superpowers but I’ve gotten better penciling my eyebrows (hiding the gray and the gaps).

      me too! Jon Cryer was my 80s crush! Every seen Hiding Out!? ;D LOL the big dress reveal was a horror show! All that work and it looked better before than after haha! Good on you! I’m always trying to do better with my application but doesn’t always work out ;-D

    I think you have to be old like me to appreciate the dress in Pretty in Pink. I was 13 when it came out and that was totally the style at the time. Plus Andie (love her name 😉 ) wore stuff that was in style but also stuff that wasn’t. She did her own thing. You are totally correct about Duckie though.

      I thought her wardrobe up until the dress was awesome but after the dress I was like oh god noooo! lol! I don’t even think it had an 80s feel. It looked like a sack! I’m sorry! don’t hate me for that 🙁 and P.S. I love her/your name too! 😀

    Mine is finding all the “deals”. When we travel to Mexico, I gift a lot of makeup to hotel staff because its very expensive there. I make up gift bags for the housekeeping staff and also staff on cruise ships. The other day I found a cover girl liquid eyeshadow( glitter) on clearance for 3.00 at Walmart. I had a 3.00 coupon so FREE.

      OMG THAT’S SO NICE! I go or I used to go on a lot of cruises and I never thought to do this! It’s such a great idea because many of those ladies (and guys) are away from home for such long periods of time and don’t even leave the ship at times. I bet a goodie bag of makeup would make their day! What a great idea! and excellent superpower!

    Applying my red lipstick perfectly every time. I never have issues with that.

    Not sure what my lame super power is. All other colors of lipstick looking hideous on me? Not liking the way eyeshadow looks? Every time I try more than a basic brown over the lids I have to go wipe it off… I just hate the way it looks on me! Eyeshadow that doesn’t look natural just looks ugly to me. Same with non-red lipsticks. So I guess you could say that my lame super power is managing to find my makeup style and never, ever straying from it. 😛
