Remember the NYX Cosmetics Wicked Lippies? They were a thing in 2014 and I fell head over heels for them. Lip colors so bold, so bright that most people wouldn’t dare to try them. Especially darker girls like me. But, alas, times are a changing. We’re not afraid of bold makeup, as we shouldn’t be (and shouldn’t…

I’m Brande Victorian from Toledo, Ohio and I’m 31 years old. I’ve been in New York City for 9 years now. Toledo is a small city, and a lot of people don’t leave. It’s very much the get married, get a good job type of place. I remember telling people I wanted to move to…

Skin is in, all that glitters is…glamorous, and brown 90s lips are here to stay. Oh, and did I mention those less than perfect, heavily lined eyes with deep, dark black liner are a go? Now, we all know that none of the beauty trends are new. The industry just recycles and renames the looks,…

I’m Africa Miranda, giver of life [laughs]! Well, you do so many things! It’s funny because I think the challenge, especially when you’re a creative, is to get to do the things you want to do. But the problem is when you start getting the chance to do a few of them, every time you…
