I’m very angry. I’m going through my gallery, and I’m pissed. You know why? Cos I’m tired of seeing the same look. No spice. Nothing new, just same plain fine face. I’m bored already. Y’all that repeat styles consistently, I don’t know how you do it; I admire you.
Now, I’m not angry at my fine face, don’t get me wrong. I’m just angry at my friends, and myself. How can I not have even one friend that is very good with makeup? I mean, just how? It hurts to know I have very useless friends. I said what I said. Come and beat me, or better still, block me or delete my contact. Y’all who have no atom of skill in you, but have friends with gifted hands, whom you can always run to for help, have no idea how much God has done for you.
On some days, I have a picture of what I want to look like for church or an event. But it never becomes real. It dies in my head, just because I can’t do make up, and I don’t know how to style my hair. Very sad. I can spend about an hour, working on my face with my tools; powder, mascara, lipstick and eyeliner. The end result of a very long one hour? An almost plain face with very little difference from my natural face, and I ask myself, what’s the point? Waking up an hour earlier, spending between thirty minutes to an hour, only to still look plain? Nah. Thanks. I’ll just carry my face like that. Oh no, I’m not ready to pay money on makeup, not yet. Maybe someday, when I blow, or when I have a really big event.
It’s important to let you know that I do not like the idea of friends always wanting free stuff from their skilled friends. Let’s try to be reasonable, these skilled friends paid to acquire their skill(s) and spent money on acquiring their work tools and would also invest time in doing a job. Don’t you think always asking for freebies is witchcraft? At least, make an attempt to pay, let them decide if they’d work for free or give you a discount. Even family members should pay! But what are we friends for if you can’t do free makeup for me, ehn? Yes, with your tools. The result you’d get from my makeover should be rewarding enough for you. There are some things money can’t buy, you know.
Sighs. I’m angry at myself too. I don’t know how I ended up this useless. No skill at all. Not hair, not skin, not face. Just USELESS! I need new friends, and a new self, please. Audition starts now. Every skilled person is eligible, irrespective of gender.
PS: Note that in this rant, my use of “skill,” refers to just hair and makeup; strictly beauty related skills.
