I am not a Makeup Artist, but what I am is art student from SCAD. Yes, I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars learning about colors, shading, grading, the human anatomy, shapes, and all that color theory has to offer. I have a natural eye for all th...

I always used to avoid eyeshadow palettes that cost more than five dollars. I saw this eyeshadow palette being advertised, and I decided to purchase it for myself. I have absolutely no regrets. It has all the glittery shades of gold that I love, that...

I have almost 6 shades of this butter gloss. What’s crazy is how affordable they are, they smell really good, and they moisturize my lips. I honestly wasn’t expecting them to moisturize my lips too which is a nice bonus because my lips tend to get ve...

I use this palette set, mostly as my highlighter palette. I use a light brush tap it on the color I’m interested in and I lightly brush my cheekbones right after applying the blush. It helps me not get overwhelmed with a lot of highlighter on my face...

I love lip colors but May of them don’t love me back. I can’t tell you how many I have tried. When I came across this brand and the reviews online plus the photos they had. For a black 40 plus year old woman I had to try them. Let’s not even mention...
