What Is Deep Inside
The first thing I see when I look in the bathroom mirror, the morning sleep still in my eyes, is my acne. I look at the red, inflamed bumps and whiteheads like they are old friends that I wish would leave me alone. I turn my head this way and that to see the new “friends” that were not there the night before. My acne is like a bruise or cuts you get. You are not sure why or how you got it. Some days, I can shrug off my skin imperfections. The other days, I feel like the world is seeing my acne before they see me as a person.

Natural Eyeshadow Palettes That Work with Every Skin Tone
Most of the time, over-the-top eye makeup looks garner a lot more bad attention than they do good. Whether men are painfully aware of the amount of makeup you put on, or your girlfriends are looking at you with wide eyes and a practiced, forced smile, you don't want to be wondering if you should have gone for a nude look while you're being handed your fifth vodka cranberry. Then the next day when you have to go to work (or class), those glitter eyeshadows that actually stay put seem a little frivolous, don't they?

Makeup Primers That'll Give You an All Day Look. Top Story - November 2018.
Makeup primers are one of the most essential steps in your makeup routine. If you don’t use a foundation primer, your makeup is more likely to look cakey, show imperfections, and wear off easily, because a face primer is what sets your makeup and allows it to have that matte finish that we all strive for. Each primer has different effects that can color correct, reduce fine lines, and give a natural, oil free glow.

You don’t need to be a makeup artist to get beautiful skin, or the perfect look you desire.
