No problem! I started really getting into makeup about a year ago and it's a really fun world to dive into, so I like to evangelize. :) There's so much room for experimentation and creativity, especially now that indie makeup companies are able to sell online (and, as a result, even mainstream companies are…

Well, if you're putting any makeup near your eyes/lashes, some is probably getting on your eyeball at some point. That's okay! Your eyes are very good at flushing out stuff that shouldn't be there, and products marketed to be used on or near the eyes have to meet specific eye-safe standards (in the US, at least, and…

Yaaaasssssss me too! 1:03 shows it well. The right eye is stumpier and a little wonky. Makeup artists to the stars: They're just like us!

Mmm, I don't believe any blanket "NEVER..."s or "ALWAYS..." when it comes to makeup. Yes, there are safer bets and riskier bets. But makeup is so dependent on your individual coloring and facial features, not to mention the context and look you're going for (of course your face for clubbing in Vegas is going to be…

It wouldn't even be THAT bad if they'd lined her lower waterline, too. Since she's so fair, that pale strip looks super awkward and gappy against the kohl.

Agreed that the makeup is too stark on Liv (Vietnam). I would also have cut out the mascara on her lower lashes; it's not necessary, and just ends up looking spidery. A more neutral lip color would help a lot, too — the one she has on pulls so cool it looks fuchsia, which clashes with her natural coloring. Maybe…

This is horrifying and completely believable. Ugh.

The reason there's a choice at all between eking out a living in a sweatshop and getting paid more for surrogacy is because the market pressures on both are exactly the same. In each case, people in less-developed nations are exploited for cheap labor in order to provide products that wealthier consumers want, but…

It did! Once he got over that hurdle, we've never looked back and it's been awesome ever since. Here's to a lady being persistent enough to club you over the head with her interest! They're out there. ;)

Months of hours-long IM and phone conversations, completely with sexually-suggestive flirting, long, lingering back rubs (given and received) whenever we saw each other, hand holding while watching movies? Really? Picking up on those signals is "humping every leg in the dogpark"? There's a wide, wide middle ground…

And then defend not wanting Gammy because "no one wants a disabled child." Keep your story straight, bro. Also, I don't for a second believe that Ms. Chanbua threatened to call the police on them, but honestly, could you blame her if she did? The couple just told you that they want their money back because they…

You sound a lot like my husband! I spent MONTHS throwing out every signal I possibly could, and only when I came straight out and was like, "Yo, idiot, I like you" did he cotton on. Even then, he wasn't totally convinced for another few weeks. Good thing he's cute, or I would have thrown up my hands in defeat long…

Yeah, I don't see sisterhood here. I see age-old commodification of women's reproductive labor and the ability of the wealthy to benefit disproportionately from the labor of the poor.

He says he doesn't have any of those urges anymore, because he got counseling while in prison.

Aren't they just the absolute worst? I sympathize with being faced with an unexpected, hard situation, but everything about the way they approached just reeked of entitlement, cluelessness, callousness, and douchitude. I'm glad that governments of less-developed countries are becoming aware of the problem and…

Seconding Lisa Elridge! Her looks are mostly simple, elegant, and versatile, and achievable for beginners. There are a ton of beauty gurus out there but a lot of them require you to have 45 products and an hour and a half to recreate their tutorials. Lisa is great, and her voice is soooo soothing as a bonus. :)

Stila's Stay All Day lipsticks are very, very popular — check out Beso, Fiery, and Tesoro. Also, somewhat shockingly, Sephora's house brand Cream Lip Stain in Always Red is pretty beloved in the makeup communities I lurk in. I have a tube and it's gorgeous, easy to apply, and very long lasting. Like all matte…

She was pulling on the jacket a lot during the red carpet interview, which makes me feel like she wasn't that comfortable with it either. Not sure what the deal was but I know that preoccupied dance you're doing while trying to make conversation but also adjust your clothing and I felt so bad for her!

Christian takes a lusty bite of Anastasia's toast

I know. :( It's terrible — Elysian has become a victim of its own success, most likely.
