My husband gets so mad at me because it takes me SOOOOOOO long to do my makeup so I need some help! The problem is mainly with my eye makeup. I have deep set down turned eyes so I can't go without eye makeup but it takes me forever!! Do you beauties have any suggestions??

I don't have suggestions because I also take forever, my husband has the patience of a saint.

Lol Seph! I swear my husband thinks I'm just full of myself but really I just love applying all the techniques I've learned plus I'm a perfectionist when it comes to makeup.

Girl, just tell him it isn't about you, your trying to look your best for him so he can show you off and other men can be jealous...lol.

Hmm if he's getting mad about it I would try either wearing less makeup (most men like how we look better without to much paint anyway) or if you really wanna spend a lot of time pick a night when you can start getting ready earlier in the day. He will love you for it.

Try and master one or two looks for when your in a rush, him getting mad at you while your doing it can't be helping either! haha.

Ladies I've tried every one of your suggestions and he still gets mad. Except for Libby's suggestion that's a great idea! I need like a fast go to look! Thanks for all your help ladies!!

I agree with libby. In your spare time, sit and practice some different looks. Figure out which you like best and master them. Then use them as your go to looks. Also my favorite brush is a dome brush, so much can be done with it so easily

My boyfriend gets mad too...he likes to tell me that he's always waiting for me. which is true. if its day time I usually do a real quick look. like a light lid with a little darker crease. I'll tight line my upper lash line, maybe some of the crease color on the bottom lash line too, mascara and I'm done. that eye look takes me about 5 minutes and cuts my whole routine down by a good 20 minutes or so. night time is another story...I'll keep him waiting. I don't care if I hhave a crabby boyfriend...as long as my make up looks good that's all that matters.

Lol Kelly! That's how I feel anytime I do my makeup day or night! Lol
@Michelle thanks good idea...cutting down the amount of brushes I use could help too!
Jan 30, 2014
Michele S.
I actually use 1 brush for my shadow

I have the opposite problem. I'm always rushing mine because he takes FOREVER to get dressed and out the door.lol. My only suggestion is prepping long before you have to be somewhere that way he doesn't spaz out.

Hahahaha @ Bens comment. My ex used to always get mad about how long I took but then insulted me if I had redness, pimples, etc. visible. I dumped his ass and found someone who treats me well. I'd definitely try to master one or 2 looks or minimize products by using 1 product for multiple things, like Bronzer as your crease eyeshadow color as well as on your face. If you don't have time for a full face routine just do concealer on blemishes (if you even have any your skin is beautiful!) and use some powder :)
