Is there anyone in your life who understands your love of makeup?

[cno64]

Is there anyone in your life who understands, or even attempts to understand, your fascination with cosmetics, MAC or otherwise?
I can't say that my mother understands, but she's sympathetic, and as long as I use my own credit card to buy stuff, she's okay with it.
I do have one gal pal who I turned on to MAC, and she never tires of talking about the stuff.
Occasionally, her husband will grouse, referring to his wife and me, "Those two are makeup crazy!"
He's laughing as he says it, though.

not really... maybe my sister ( just a tiny bit whenever I'm around her! LOL) but other than that no one really understands or shares my passion/addiction to it

 

[sexychefva804]

Yup, my mother...her and I are going to QVC's beauty bash to meet reps from BE, Smashbox, Clinique, Philosophy, Bobbi Brown etc. Her collection is larger than mine and she is always up on the current product. She turned me on to Smashbox Jetset Liners, and I showed her MUFE and MAC.

Not in my family or any of my friends.

But I made friends with my MA who I can share my love for MAC with in a personal contact.

And then there are all you ladies here on specktra, of course!!

 

[blindpassion]

My Mom! Haha
Shes definitely a cool Mom, I'm 17 and she's 49, but she looks like shes in her 30's (not in a plastic way, shes very youthftul)

And shes always staying with the times, she is definitely a MAC addict now too, it's very handy haha because shes the one saying "anytime you want to go to MAC this week, I'm up for it!" =) Im lucky.

Not really, but I am cool with that. I have met some very cool and wonderful people b.c of my love of makeup... Definitely all to the good!

My primary obsession is skincare, followed by makeup. Friends and family truly don't understand my obsession with skincare, natural foods or makeup. They kind of roll their eyes at me whenever the topic comes up

I'm slowly getting my sister in law and nieces into better skincare; now they all use mineral makeup and my nieces absolutely LOVE MAC and Dr. Hauschka, my favorite cosmetic brands. My best friend just isn't into it at all, so I'm grateful to both Specktra, EDS and Labmuffins forums where I can talk about my obsessions with kindred spirits.

Just because I seek internal and external beauty doesn't mean I'm a shallow, vain person concerned only with appearances. I also care about a lot of other things. Skincare is only ONE of my many, many interests and passions.

Nope! my boyfriend is getting there lol, just all of the lovely people on specktra.

 

[makeupNdesign]

Only my sister understands me as well as all the fabulous people on this site. Even my 2 best friends think I'm nuts. They couldn't care less about makeup. Whaaaat the...??

I did however meet someone at work who's just as obsessed as I am: woohoo, friend for life!

 

[Trista]

My best friend is the only person in my life who is as obsessed with makeup as I am. Unfortunately she moved to Atlanta and I miss her soooo much. But we still chat over the phone about our crazy makeup expenditures!
My other friends, while they do wear a lot of makeup, don't express much concern about the makeup brand they use and they don't seem to have the intense interest that I have.
Good thing Specktra is here!

 

[mebabygirl86]

i cant say that i have anyone either

they just think im addicted,but for me its more than that.
i wanna have a career with it so its gonna be in my life for a longgggg time,lol

 

[lahlalove]

no i dont have anyone either. my bf thinks im crazy and my friends don't really wear makeup...but my mom is good to go to for advice for skincare. just not makeup

 

[KAIA]

My bf understand my love for make up =)

 

[seabird]

my best friend, we both LOVE it. unfortunately however, no one in my family likes make-up and hardly wears any, so my mum and grandma think i'm really odd and always seem to think that make-up is a 'waste' of money. lucky that my best friends mum loves it too, we all talk about it together!

 

[Ms. Z]

Family, Friends, Co-workers, unfortunately, No!

But I do have this site and a few wonderful members that I have had the pleasure to meet & shop with.

 

[Koni]

My sister understands my obsession 'cause she has a similar habit with sweaters. LOL! She likes going shopping with me because I'm always on the lookout for new things or colors that might look good on her.

My husband calls my makeup collection "my toys" and laughs it off. If he only knew how much I spend, he wouldn't laugh so hard!

 

[user46]

My mommy! She's the one who actually got me into MAC

 

[glam8babe]

my boyfriend has gotten pretty much used to it now... in the beginning he thought i was just crazy lol but now hes the one that gives me the money for everything which is so lovely of him

my friends arent into makeup that much, yes they wear it but they dont care how to blend and all that lol they think im crazy when i talk about makeup soo much but who cares!!!?

my mother doesnt understand it either shes like "youve already got about 50 lipglosses why do you need another one?" and im like "well this is limited edition! plus i dont have a coral/pink colour with so n so sparkle in it" haha

 

[SuSana]

Not to the extent I do, which makes me sad. I mean my Mom and sisters wear makeup but they think I have too much of it. They call Specktra my "little blog" lol and I think if you only knew how many people were on this site! So I just keep it to myself mostly, but when they want me to do their makeup it's a different story! They go through everything and pick what they want and say ohhh you have so many good colors, so it comes in handy

 

[Kuuipo]

I have two middle aged metrosexual brothers.....(my mother never left home without looking perfect) who believe people who are not interested in their own beauty need an intervention.
