    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

    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!

    I have a problem in keeping my tinted moisturizer and pencil eyeliner from melting. How do most girls have that perfectly done and even after an hour, nothing's smudged?
