Too much makeup? Ha! You know your makeup limit does not exist. You'll happily wake up an hour (or two ... or three ... ) early, just so you can get your full routine in. Sometimes, your friends tell you you'd look better without makeup -- and you tell them to kindly mind their own business.

If this sounds like you, welcome to the too-much-makeup club. Still, even though it makes us feel amazing, wearing a lot of makeup still comes with a fair amount of drawbacks. It takes a lot of time, money and effort to maintain your look sometimes. Your Sephora spending history is terrifying to check, and chances are, you can't open a single drawer in your house without several hair and beauty products falling out. Bottom line? It takes real work to be as fabulous as you, and you know it. So, with all that in mind, read on for 17 things all women who get told they "wear too much makeup" know to be true!

Your Daily Look Involves Four Types of Concealer
Everyone who wears too much makeup knows you've got your heavy-duty concealer for dark circles, the one you use for pesky blemishes that crop up during that time of the month, the one that's a couple shades lighter that you use to highlight your under-eye area, the one you use to disguise the redness on the sides of your nose, the sheer dewy one -- and the list goes on (and on).

You Often Spend More on Makeup Than Food
When that new Too Faced eye shadow palette came out, you decided to give up Starbucks for the month so you could get it (and it was totally worth it).

You Can't Wrangle Your Stash
At this point, your makeup has pretty much taken over your life, and it's everywhere. You have multiple train cases of the stuff stashed all around your house, all the drawers and shelves in your bathroom are packed and forget about all that primo real estate on top of your vanity. It's official: you have too much makeup.
