The struggles of getting ready on a Friday night
Getting ready for a night out usually goes one of two ways for me. The first (and better) of the two is when everything falls into place nicely, my hair stays put, my make-up is flawless and I look better in my little black dress than ever before. The second is…well, it’s exactly what happens in the video above.
So if you too experience nights when your hair won’t co-operate, your eyeliner has a mind of its own and everything in your wardrobe seems SO wrong, I’m sure you’ll have a giggle as you watch me struggle or alternatively you can see the events unroll below.
Alright, how long do I have to get ready? 15 MINUTES!
OK, what shall we do with this face? Maybe a little contouring?
Oh dear, went too far.
Phew, fixed that right up with some hardcore blending. Now onto eyeliner...so far so good...
DAMMIT!
Bronzer, bronzer, bronzer, bronzer!
Better not forget to eat dinner…
A red lip to finish and make-up is done!
But what am I going to wear? I own nothing!
Can’t I just wear my pyjamas?
OK. This is it. This is the outfit.
Now should I wear my hair up?
Or maybe down?
Or maybe half up and half down?
LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER IF I WERE BALD!
There’s no time! I have to go!
WAIT! Selfie…
OK now I'm ready!
Do you relate to this video? How long do you take to get ready for a night out?

I hardly go out anymore and don’t wear makeup a lot so when I do getting ready is half the fun

I'm a real home body so I don't enjoy going out at night, especially in winter. However, when I do need to go out at night, the outfit tends to be chosen at the last minute depending on my makeup and hair look, and on how I feel.

hahahah....I relate only with having nothing to wear. It use to always take me a while to pick right combo. Makeup was not a big issue, I wore only mascara and lippy. Now I just buy dresses and pop stuff on. No need to adjust or combine. Easy

I use to be like this but now it only takes me 10 mins to get dressed, Do makeup & hair & I'm straight out the door no time wasting. This was funny though.

Very entertaining, but this freezing cold weather I would have stayed home in my pj's. Thank goodness no more eyejabbing, had eyelids cosmetically tattoed, brilliant and so time and money saving.

All too often, eyeliner , hair, mascara, even the foundation not going on smoothly. It's a nightmare. Then there's the outfit on top of that. Bahhh!

No nights out for me but I do take a while to get ready in the morning. I try to set out my clothes and makeup the night before to save time in the morning.

For me getting ready can take hours. The struggle can be worth it in the end.

Completely relatable! I'll admit I have not gone out because I didn't want to go through this process

for me, if its a planned night out i would prepare 3 sets of clothes, a dress, a jeans and whatever, a skirt and whatever, by having this choices, makeup can be breezy, no make-up, makeup look? smokey? both can go well with any type of clothes, hair is the last problem since im not that good at tying so its either just leave it straight or make it curly, he he he
