So I'm almost 19 years old, right? Right. Guess what. I still can't do my darn hair! The most I can do is straighten it. I'm talented enough to do that...barely. I can't use a curling iron, because no matter how hard I try or how many people I watch, I can't seem to figure it out. Same goes for curling my hair with a flat iron...I've watched like 6 videos on YouTube about how to create curls with a flat iron, and yet EVERY time I try it fails. I also fail at using bobby pins, but that is a whole nother story.
I also can't figure out eyeliner. There are girls almost ten years younger than me that can get perfect eyeliner, and yet I can't even figure out where on my eyelid to PUT it. I've figured out mascara thankfully, and concealer and all that other jazz, but I just can't get the hang of eyeliner. I've tried every kind imaginable-- liquid, pencil, using eyeshadow as eyeliner, the ones that go up when you twist the bottom... but I just can't get it!
Hair products- nope. Can't get them. I either get too MUCH hairspray, or too little...and I'm not really even sure when I need to USE hairspray. Gel doesn't work for me.... All these other girls have PERFECT hair that I know isn't natural (mainly because I have seen them when they haven't done their hair yet ) and yet I can only get the hang of straightening mine, which I HAVE to do because mine is so damaged that if I just let it dry naturally I'm frightening to look at. Which is another thing I can't quite get...how to make my naturally wavy/curly hair WORK without straightening it.
I'm starting to wonder if there is any hope for me. Maybe I was just meant to be a boy. By the amount of girly stuff that I CAN accomplish, I'm starting to think I was.
I want to be full of win, but I am full of fail.
