Beauty things I suck at.

So I saw a few YouTubers take part in this tag a while ago, and it got me thinking about the beauty things I'm not so good at, and things I want to improve on. I love makeup and all things beauty, but I'm by no means a professional makeup artist or guru; so I suck at a few things when it comes to beauty.

Here's a list of things that I never managed to get the hang of or haven't learned yet. ( feel free to comment with the things that you suck at! I'm sure you're not alone )

1. Liquid Eyeliner. 
I must be really uncoordinated when it comes to applying liquid eyeliner. I manage to get it everywhere, and it never looks even. That cute, flirty winged out look? Forget about it. It's impossible for me to do. And besides, I've never had the patience to spend 20 minutes on each eye.
I can never get my liquid eyeliner to look this perfect, but I really wish I could!



2. Filling in my eyebrows.
I already have thick eyebrows, but there are some spots that have less hair than others. But whenever I put a pencil through my brows, it looks unnatural. I also suck at choosing the right colour for my brows, and I have no idea whether I have a warm or cool skin tone and whether I need to go lighter or darker with the pencil/powder colour. 

3. Waiting for my nail polish to dry.
Ain't nobody got time fo dat! I always seem to find other things to do while my nail polish is drying, and it ends up smudging and looking horrible. Maybe I should invest in a proper manicure? I also get sick of my nail colour really quickly, and want to change it after like, a week.

4. Resisting makeup sales.
They're just so tempting! I need to start saving my money, but I usually find something I 'need' in the sale. haha. Do you have this problem? Is it too tempting for you too?

5. Taking care of my skin adequately.

I suck at doing a meticulous beauty routine every morning and night. I don't always use a toner, exfoliator, expensive skincare product etc. A lot of the times it's just cleanse and go. I also don't drink enough water and I sometimes binge on chocolate. I find it hard to go through a complicated routine when I have more important things to do. I do make sure I wash of my makeup every evening, though! That's super important!

Hope you enjoyed this little insight into the things I suck at when it comes to beauty, and I tag you! Even if it's just a comment on this post, tell me the beauty things you can't seem to master. :)

Until next time,
