What Do You Hate About Shopping For Makeup?
Just because you love all-glitter everything, adorable mini-sized beauty products, and the thrill of hearing someone tell you that your eyebrows are absolute perfection, doesn't mean you love actually going into the store and buying makeup. It can be a messy affair; that nice white top you were wearing is most definitely going to wind up smeared with something without your knowledge. There's also no guarantee that the store will even have your coveted item in stock (Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Foundation, you've been put on blast).
Even though swatching is necessary (and honestly cathartic), we should all probably just do our cosmetic shopping online. Until we can make the full switch, though, there are a few nuisances that just can't be avoided. Ranker polled makeup junkies to find out which things totally ruin their in-store shopping experiences and we're sure that you'll be able to relate to some of them, maybe all of them.
