I was simply a powder, blush, and lipstick girl before my sister gave me a serious bunch of makeup and tools. Of course, back then, I didn't know how to use those eye shadows, mascaras, eye liners... And then I relied on my internet bestie, Google, who led me to YouTube. There, in just one click, I met Sineady Cady of The Makeup...

I’m about to finish my second bottle, and my third bottle is ready as a reserve. Needless to say, Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Foundation is my current favorite foundation for daily use.
