[nabs-l] Lame question

[Briley Pollard]

Also, I'd be happy to give more detailed techniques for application if you want, but it really is a huge confidence builder going to a makeup counter and working with someone one on one. Mac does consultations, as well as most of the counters in department stores.


That is all,
Briley

My mom always tells me if it looks splotchy or orange (not because she is trying to be mean, rather because she wants me to be aware and look presentable). When my sighted sister or friends do my makeup for me I receive compliments and I feel better about myself because I know I look my best.
