So, I was hoping for a bit of fun to usher us into weekend mood!
Have you ever wondered how well your husband or the men in your life knew about makeup? I stumbled on this in the blogosphere and I knew I wouldn’t let it go, till I had the husband give it a go!
And he was such a good sport about it. I laughed so hard at some of his answers, and I thought I’ll share. I simply asked him to define the terms and I’ve shared his exact answers! I also found a couple of funny quotes about men & makeup, so I’m throwing those in as well.
Bronzer: I’ve never heard it before in my life. How’s that spelt?
Blusher: A brush you use to create a blush on your cheek.
Mascara: Ofcourse I know what mascara is. It’s for straightening the eyelashes, thickening, darkening them and making them stand individually in single hairs.
Eyeliner: A dark pencil-like tool you put it just above your eyelashes to make a dark line. This was the first and only makeup you used to wear back in the days!
Strobing: Eh… How’s that spelt. I have no idea. Sounds like new millennial lingua.
“Every woman needs a man that will ruin her lipstick and not her mascara!”
Eyeshadow: I think eyeshadow is for the upper part of the eyelid. While the eyeliner is just for a line, eyeshadow fills the whole eye lid.
Brown Powder: It can come in palette. It has that applier thing. Often circular. You open a lid, use the applier and rub it in your face.
Foundation: You apply this on your face before you apply all your makeup. To smoothen up any bumps that there may be.
Concealer: I’ve heard about that before. For particular patches you want to cover.
Highlighter: Wow, I used to know that! That’s what you put on the lips either after or before your lipstick.
“Men: When women wear makeup, they’re basically lying to us
Women: I don’t see why I’m being blamed for a man thinking I have gold eyelids”
Setting spray: Never heard about that. But I’m assuming after you put your makeup on, you use it to have it in place, so you can go swimming and the make-up will still be there.
Contouring: You do this on your cheek bones and face to make them more defined. If you want that cheek bone you better contour it!
Primer: Ah, I know primer oh. I know the name but I can’t remember what it does.
Lip liner: I thought I’ve answered this. What did I say you put on your lips? *I answer, that he said highlighter* That means I’ve failed highlighter… I meant lipliner.
Brow Pencil: For carving eyebrows.
“Boys: Girls wear makeup to impress boys.
Girls: You think I own 78 MAC Lipsticks to impress someone who can’t tell the difference between Ruby Woo and Russian Red? No.”
Serum: That’s an English word. To wash your face? If this was an exam, I’ll say a liquid formula that you use to wipe your face before or after makeup
Cleanser: Normally put on a cotton wool and deep cleanse your skin.
Micellar water: Honestly I’ve never heard it before. I won’t lie!
Toner: That word can mean many things. Not sure babes.
BB cream: I’m assuming you won’t put a cream before you have makeup on, so BB cream has to be what you put in your face before you start making up.
I thought he did pretty well – must be the effect of the YouTube videos I watched with him at some point. The definition of Mascara cracked me up, and when he defined highlighter, I’d have spilled my drink from my mouth if I had one at that moment! Plus did you catch his slight shade at my make up back in the days?
I asked him if he thought it the test was hard, and he said “Not really, just that there’s so many things I’ve never heard of before…”
What do you think? How well will the men in your life do?
pS: I think I finally have 6 empty makeup containers from, so I’m eligible for a free lipstick from MAC! I’m thinking of a red or purple shade. Any suggestions?
OK I just asked DH all these questions and he knew all the answers except for serum and strobing. I’m shocked to say the least. Oh he also said BB cream is either “Big butt cream” or “Big breast cream” … I can’t… Yes micellar water ” is it for menstrual something? I’m dead!!! To be fair tho even I don’t know what mecellar water is lools.
Omgeeee! His answer to micellar water! 😂😂😂😂. It’s actually for taking makeup off. Supposed to be better than wipes and almost as good as washing the face. Big Butt cream!! Geez. Hahahaha. That’s quite creative sha. Loool!I’m not even sure I really know what strobing is. Have a great weekend Sis!
Hahahahaha 😅. I found this really hilarious. He tried sha. I haven’t tried this with the men in my life, I would try that sha. Nice one Kachee. MEMOIRSOFAGREATLADY.COM
I laughed at applier, lol. My boyfriend will totally fail this test. I don’t know a few on this list myself…what the heck is micellar water? And strobing? Jeez, make-up is not a joking sturv anymore ooo. Anyways he tried sha, with the definitions and all. I’ll give him a B+The YC blog || Bloglovin’What To Expect On Your First Day Of Work
I think B+ is a fair grade! @toluwaladetoyinkehinde:disqus defined strobing for us in the comment above, and Micellar water is for taking makeup off. Hahahaha.
Awww…so nice he paid attention to the application of most of them. I do think he did wayyy better than i would have done. I am not a makeup girl so i didnt know a number of things you mentioned.
Lmao He did try though. That mascara definition is so complete like he’d been studying it for days!!! The highlighter part tho… I’m actually gone. but I bet you thought your face was beat going out with your dark eyeliner back in the day hahaha Strobing is just using highlighters/bronzers to highlight/contour your face without the concealer and baking… basicallywww.toyinwithfashion.com
Tola for Prime Minister! He did a good job. His answer for setting spray. Haha. I just asked Sammie. his answers were so creative though! Lol!www.pagesbyike.com
Hahahahaha….This was so fun. Going to try it with almost all the men in my life. I can already see my dad failing woefully. Highlighter….bwahahaha.Even I don’t know what strobing is so he did well jare!PS: Loved how you spiced up the post with quotes.www.howmojistyledit.com
I’ve been wanting to do something like this for awhile but was chronically single until a month ago lol so now I just might be able to! Girl, his answer for “setting spray” had be cracking up!http://thequirklife.com/
Lol @ chronically single! Well that’s changed! It cracked me up too! Like I feel he’d seen too many jokes about girls’ makeup not coming off even in the pool.
Hahahahhaha! Your bae is such a good sport! I don’t even know what micellar water is or how strobing even works 😂😂I think the men in my life will fail this test terribly. I’ll ask and share their responses 😭Oh and for lipsticks you should get Rebel!Happy Sunday! 😘
C’mon. Tee nailed it. He didn’t need to know all cos honestly some names here are new to me. Would try this with hubby but I won’t hold my breath on him having even a C. Those quotes cracked me up so bad. I love the first quote for its meaning.www.bubusboulevard.com
My husband went on an official trip a few weeks ago and he thought he had successfully “stolen” my oh so wonderful perfume. after a few days on his trip he had to confess to me that “babe, how come your perfume has no fragrance when i use it?”…i said “what perfume?”…he said “you mean you haven’t realised i stole your perfume?”…i said “ahn ahn, my perfume isn’t missing now?”……just guess what he thought was my perfume?My setting spray!!!
Did you exchange for a lipstick in the end? If not I’d recommend Diva! Or the Arianna Grande one, can’t remember the name right now.This post made me laugh out loud! Very fun!
Me I’m just over here clapping for him 👏👏 he really tried. I haven’t even heard some of these things before, please which one is Micellar water and BB cream again? 😩 Me and makeup can never get along I just know😝Great Post Kachee.Portableisthenewhot.blogspo…
Looool. I think he tried.Micellar water is used to take off make up and BB cream i understand is lighter than foundation so for everyday use. I’m not very into makeup as well.
