High-end brands, drugstore finds, matte, glossy, blue undertones, orange undertones, even that one terrifying greenish red that my BFF swore ālooked amazingā on me (spoiler: it didnāt). And still, itās likeā¦ meh. Some look too vampy, some too bright, and others make me feel like Iāve just raided my grandmaās vanity.
Donāt even get me started on how some reds look bomb in the bathroom lighting, but the moment you step outside? Clown vibes. š¤”
