24 comments

Monday May 20, 2013 by Alexandra C.

Let's get one thing straight: Rooney Mara is a badass statuesque alien that is not of this world. Somehow she always manages to perfectly straddle the line between punk rock and simple elegance.

Summer holidays may be approaching, but beauty school is now in session! Today, I want to discuss a technique for achieving full coverage concealer that stays all day.

In my long term quest for long lasting full coverage makeup routines, I've been watching an inappropriate amount of drag queen themed makeup tutorials. Seriously, it's becoming a problem. In my defence, it...
