What is absolutely refreshing is how honest you are in sharing your opinions. It's important for people not to stick themselves in a box and just assume that whatever makeup looks are prescribed for their colouring, facial features, etc.Wallsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342725483374525865.post-35443516805655668672012-12-18T20:02:55.400-05:002012-12-18T20:02:55.400-05:00I feel like eyeliner looks are difficult on me (ex...I feel like eyeliner looks are difficult on me (except really graphic, cat-eye ones, I suppose).
