Amazing

It's a shame that in this world some professions are so disrespected.

Like today, when I went to buy a tinted moisturizer for my face. Should be a five minute thing, I figured, to get a moisturizer.

After twenty minutes and a consultation with Elle, who's just celebrated her twentieth anniversary as a makeup artist, I know how to use foundation, how to apply blush, and how to make my eyes look more blue or more green, and how to make them look fantastic.

Did you know you should use a big brush to apply foundation? Like a giant eyeshadow brush. And you put a stripe down the middle and blend it outwards. Sponges suck up your foundation and you end up wasting most of what you put on.

My skin colour is called Sweet Tea.

When I tipped her she said, "you don't have to do that."

Yes I did. I learned more there than I did all day at work.
