I originally saw the ‘Boyfriend Explains What Makeup Is’ Tag on A Girl Recommends blog and then again on Emily Mae’s blog, and I thought it would be fun to do with my partner. My partner used to work at a warehouse for L’Oreal, so I expected him to know a little about makeup. This is what he thought the various makeup products were.
BB Cream: I don’t know what BB Cream is. I thought it was a brand. It’s not a type of makeup right? (He then talked about seeing a L’Oreal BB Cream commercial, but he still had no clue what it was)
Primer: I don’t know what it is. I know what normal makeup is.
Foundation: I know what that is. You use it with the right skin tone. You use it on your face and neck to make your skin look better.
Concealer: It’s something you use to cover up acne.
Powder: That’s pretty much the same as foundation. Like it has the same purpose.
Eyeshadow: You use it around your eyes.
Eyeliner: It’s the one you do like this *uses his finger to show where you use eyeliner*
Mascara: That’s for your eyelashes.
Corrector: I don’t know. It’s something you correct makeup with.
Contour: I don’t know what that is.
Blush: It’s the red thing you use on your cheeks.
Bronzer: I have never heard of that word.
Highlighter: I only know of highlights in hair, not makeup.
Setting Spray: I don’t know. I guess something to set the makeup.
Lip Liner: I have no idea. I have never heard of lip liner before. (I asked him what he thinks it is based on the name, and he still had no clue)
As I expected, my boyfriend knew about some makeup like foundation and blush, but he did not know some words because they were in English and not Danish, so I can give him a break on not knowing a few.
I love this tag! I did it with my partner today and he tried so hard! Haha he had no idea about bb cream either. 😂
Hahaha
Omgosh I love this! I really enjoyed doing the “Husband does my makeup tag” video but he really didn’t describe what he really thought each product was used for and there were many things he put down because he didn’t know what they were!
Hahaha you should do this tag with your husband! It should be fun!
I really want to try this on my boyfriend since his only makeup knowledge is watching me do my makeup!
You should do it!
Brilliant!
this is hilarious!!! nice post!
Shows just how little attention men pay to our make up haha!
Definitely! Haha
This is a great post! Enjoyed it.
Thanks!
