Makeup Q&A 1

In this post, I am going to be answering the questions you have about makeup. Anything from techniques, working with certain products, formulations, or even how to formulate them. I wanted to create some makeup educational content so that not only can you create fantastic makeup but also know how to use it in a way that works for you.
Disclaimer: I always will give general advice as makeup is more individual then people may try to paint it out to be. So please use your reasoning when deciding if any of these are worth it for you.
