Although I've always considered blogging to be kind of corny, it makes sense to document and share the things that I am excited about. Especially for my friends. It gets hectic sending thirty texts that all say "You gotta try this highlight. This might be the one." There also just aren't that many blogs geared towards girls with my skintone (think, NW40/45). It became painful to google things like "____ on dark skin." I also ran into the problem that NO ONE seemed to be making reviews on the products that truly interested me- it was always holy grail type items.
Typing all of this already makes me feel crazy.
...Anyway
I recently ordered Bobbi Brown: The Ultimate Beauty Resource book off of eBay for like three dollars or whatever. I love Bobbi Brown. I feel like not enough people my age are talking about her enough because she was so 90s and cool. I mean she still is, but you know what I mean. One of the main philosophies she lives by is that you can't just "create" beauty, you must enhance your beauty from within. This book was published in 1996 and to be honest, it's still extremely relevant to this day.
I thought I'd scan a few pages where she discusses African American beauty. (A lot of these techniques can be applied towards anyone with a medium-deep skin tone)
