The Beauty Bloopers: ‘It’s never smart to borrow someone else’s foundation’

Since my hair is the oil, I need to wash it daily and it takes me half an hour to comb it without getting it frizzy. But yet, fate doesn’t seem to want my hair to stay calm and smooth. Once, I get out of the house with the wind touching my hair, it gets frizzy. So I clamp it up with hair bands. By noon, the hair bands start to slip because of the greasiness. The worst part is by this time, I have one more class left before going home and by now I just looked like I survived a tornado. -Muneera M.

Every time I get out of the shower, I don’t bother brushing my curly wet hair nor do I even own a brush because I know it would just look fine and dry up the way it is. But no, my friends and family can’t seem to comprehend the reality of my hair. So I had enough of their complaints and I decided to buy a brush and try it out. I can’t express how I regret listening to them despite my gut feelings, my long fine curls turned into a dry mope that witches could use when they lose their broomsticks. -Deshni F.

I encountered a situation during which I couldn’t find the foundation that I always use after scouring the stores for it. When I ordered the foundation, I was told that I had to wait for three more weeks. To compensate for my loss and time, I decided to use my mother’s foundation. Unfortunately, it turned me into a ghost because my mother had three shades of her skin tone lighter than mine. I realised that it is never smart to borrow someone else’s foundation. -Ghaida A.
