19 Things College Girls Who Don't Wear Make-up Will Understand

The thought of even leaving your bedroom without at least one layer of mascara probably terrifies a lot of you, I know. My sister refuses to come back downstairs at night after she has wiped her face clean, for fear of one of us (her own family) catching a glimpse of her naked eyes. If you’re not at all like that and you’re proud to walk around town with not an ounce of make-up on, you’ll definitely relate to this list. Here are just a few of the things all college girls who don't wear make-up on a daily basis will understand:

1) Rolling out of bed at the last minute is standard.


2) Everyone tells you that you look tired.


3) You never have panda eyes when you get out of the shower.


4) You have way more space on your dresser than the rest of your friends.


5) Getting really impatient when your friends are still doing their make-up an hour later.


6) You occasionally wear eyeliner and mascara on a night out, if you’re really going all out.

7) No one notices if you’ve been crying during a sad movie.


8) You have no idea what having “eyebrows on fleek” means.


9) You’d rather stab yourself in the eye repeatedly than watch make-up tutorials on YouTube.

10) You tried the “smokey eye” once before and it looked like someone had beaten you up.


11) People constantly tell you how good you’d look with “a little mascara” or “a touch of blusher”. 

12) What the fuck is contouring?


13) No lipstick or lip liner will ever top Vaseline.


14) The Naked palette obsession goes completely over your head. They’re all the same, for God’s sake.


15) You spend all your time in duty-free at the airport looking at sweets and sunglasses.


16) Girls who wear make-up to the gym physically repulse you.


17) What other girls spend on expensive foundation, you spend on expensive Ben & Jerry’s.

18) You’ve been asked for ID at the cinema on more than one occasion.


19) Every selfie is a no make-up selfie.
