Tips and tricks for your everyday makeup routine
Have you ever had a face beat and thought, "there's too much going on here." Well, the truth is that a lot of black women struggle with achieving a flawless look for a myriad of reasons. To achieve that flawless glowing look, you might need to go the extra mile to do enough research on modes of applications, types of products to use, and how to use those products to enhance your already beautiful skin. I for one like to go down the DIY-type of learning route so I tend to watch a lot of videos on makeup application. Watching videos also give you a first-hand review of how a product could possibly look on your skin. I would definitely recommend videos- and not just one, for anyone who wants to go the extra mile. Some websites also have shade finders that take you through a series of questions to help you find the right shade. If you are looking for a more interactive session, some websites allow users to try on different shades until they find the perfect shade.

Long-Lasting Summer Makeup Tips
Summer makeup looks that are cool, sweet and stylish are what you want to invest in this year. Gone are the days when heavy powders and layers of foundation were what everyone used to achieve that gloriously “fresh” appearance. The summertime heat can take a toll on skin and makeup so why would you want to coat your face with excessive layers of powders, creams and lotions? Too dark of a color palette could make it appear that you are much older than your actual age. Celebrate the warmth and sunshine by choosing makeup (and style trends) that can celebrate summertime beauty.

Stripping Away The Beauty Armor
Makeup is like war paint, clothing is like armor. Those are just things we put on our body to decorate ourselves. They do serve a purpose for expressing personality and boosting self-esteem when used in an non-obsessive way. But they do not define women (men and non-binary too, I don't want to leave anyone out).

New Me
One day, I was scrolling through endless Tik Tok videos and I saw this beautiful woman. Her hair was long and honey blonde. Her makeup was slayed to the Gods. Her lashes were long and luscious. Her contour had her cheekbones looking sharp. Her smile was bright and perfect. Not one crooked tooth insight. She didn't have one pimple on her elegant face. Her eyes were a light sparkly gray. I loved her room, her vibe, and her skin glowed. I was like how does she look so beautiful. She had over one hundred thousand likes, and her comments were filled with praises of her beauty. On Tik Tok, you see a plethora of attractive people, but that day I felt insecurity knocking.
