This text conversation between a girl and her boyfriend as he tries to buy make-up is gas

As anyone who wears make-up knows, there is a huge variety of colours, textures and brands to choose from even in the most basic of chemists.

It can be confusing, even for those in the know.

Which is why this girl’s idea to send her boyfriend to pick out some bits for her was wildly optimistic.

The boyfriend, Imgur user, posted screengrabs of their text conversation as he tries to navigate the beauty aisle and it’s since gone viral.

As you can see, his girlfriend quickly realises that she should have just gone herself:

’Sorry I had you go…I should of went’.

Scroll through the images to see the poor guy’s heroic attempts to get the right stuff - along with a little bit of messing to keep himself sane.

Fake eyelashes? A very specific shade of matte lipstick?

He made a good effort but that is definitely too complicated a task to designate to a make-up newbie.

Props to both of them for their patience.
