3个迹象表明你有化妆瘾

 　　1.You never leave the house without makeup¹ on

　　1.你永远不会不化妆就出家门

　　This is actually your nightmare. If God had wanted people to see each other the way they naturally looked then makeup would never have been invented.

　　这实际上是你的噩梦。如果上帝想要让人们互相看到对方自然的样子，那么化妆就永远不会被发明出来。

　　At the very least you maintain the belief that others should not see you the way you naturally look. Why else would you have spent so much on makeup if you didn’t want to flaunt² what you’ve got after all?

　　至少你坚持一个信仰，那就是其他人不应该看到你自然的样子。还要什么其他的理由让你花费这么多来化妆，如果你其实并没有想要炫耀？

　　2.Getting makeup professionally done is your dream

　　2.专业化妆是你的梦想

　　While your dreams of being a supermodel may have fallen short, you can still attain³ that flawless cover model look with the helping⁴ hand of a makeup artist.

　　尽管你的梦想是成为超级模特而且或许不符合标准，你仍然可以成功地通过专业化妆艺术家的手来帮你遮盖这些样貌方面的瑕疵。

　　For most, a professional makeup artist is a must for special occasions, such as hen nights or weddings, but for those who are addicted⁶ it is a weekly, if not daily, necessity.

　　对于大多数人来说，专业化妆是是特殊场合必须的，比如女子婚前单身派对或者婚礼，但是对于这些沉迷化妆的人来说，就成了每周必备，如果不是每天必备的话。

　　However, it doesn’t stop there as the lowly addict⁵ will question the makeup artist on the products and techniques that they are using in the hope of recreating the look on their own.

　　然而，痴迷并不止步于此，因为这一普通的痴迷会质疑化妆师的化妆品和技术，这些痴迷者想要用这些化妆品和技术来自己重塑面容。

　　3.The makeup section is your first choice in any shop

　　3.化妆区是你在任何商店的首选

　　Whereas most people will make the rational decision of trying to buy a full outfit⁷ and then match their eyeshadow or lipstick⁸ to it, for others the makeup isle⁹ is the first stop in the shop.

　　然而大多数人都会理性地决定是否要买套装，然后来与她们的眼影或者唇膏搭配，但是其他人在商店的首选都是化妆区。

　　If you can’t match your lipstick to your nail varnish¹⁰, and then your nail varnish to your outfit then you just won’t be happy. In any case, finding the perfect shade has to be shown off in the right way, doesn’t it? For the makeup addict coordination¹¹ is the ultimate key.

　　如果你不能将你的唇膏和指甲油搭配起来，你的指甲油和你的全套化妆品也不搭配，那么你就会不开心。在任何情况下，都认为完美的阴影都必须以合适的方式炫耀一下，是不是？对于化妆瘾来说，协调搭配是最终的关键。
