The comment about Sephora associates is patently untrue. You may be thinking of the Chanel counter at Bloomingdale's. All Sephora employees look very different. Some are attractive & some are not. But honestly, the message you're really sending with that statement is that as women, we should continue to engage in beauty wars & compete against each other. Are you purposely trying to help out the Patriarchy?! I suggest that anyone reading this post should immediately buy the book "The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolfe. That's true empowerment, which is always beautiful!

Never underestimate the power of a good makeup brush. They have some good drugstore ones if you don't want to shell out a lot. The type of makeup brush you use can change your entire look tbh there's a brush for everything and investing in the right blending brush saved my life and my eyeshadow game

@Fransisco Set it with powder! Pencil liner will easily smudge if you don't set it, so after you put it on, set it with black shadow ( or whatever color matches). Same with a tinted moisturizer/foundation, you should use a setting powder OR even a setting spray to help it last (:

For lipstick to stay on longer apply a layer or 2. Blot and then reapply a second time..repeat if needed once more. This works for me. Creamy drugstore lipsticks tend to fade. So make them dry by using powder(loose or pressed) on ur lips first..
