I’m pretty minimalist - I use brushes for foundation and blush daily, but I am pretty lazy on eye shadow for work most days but I have a couple of brushes in the rotation for the 1 time a week I wear it. Probably monthly I get grossed out by my foundation brush and wash it with the weird solid soap I got to use with…

Product plug: If you aren’t using eyelash primer, get on it. This stuff keeps your mascara great all day, no smudges or flaking or raccoon eyes. My favorite is Estee Lauder’s.

Why everybody commenting always so agro?

Hahahaha re “Why does that baby have so much hair?”

Dude, ONE OF US HAS TO BE SOBER. My valium ain’t gonna take itself!

Thanks! I’ve been considering taking a razor to my face after my friend had dermaplaning for her wedding and her skin looked so amazing - but I can’t commit to frequent upkeep.

Jane, how often do you shave?

I haven’t had, and don’t intend to have, a baby - but this piece made start to think a little differently (better, or at least more accepting) about the five pounds I’ve put on in the last few years.

Once I got there, though, it's like a magic bullet. There are others that some of my friends use that work better for them - Tazorac, RetinA, but I…

When I pleaded with my dermatologist to give me the secret to getting rid of the acne that flared up right around the time I hit 30, she told me that more women in their 30s have acne than do teenage girls. She set me up with a new skincare regimen, very similar to one Jane Marie has described elsewhere (which…

I have no solutions as my nails are shit, but huge props for using that pic.

Glad to see I'm in good company with so many other people in the comments estranged from their parents. It was a very difficult decision to make that break but with the kind of emotional abuse and crazy-making I faced, it was the only way to get some peace.

Amazing!!! Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve! Please help: I've got one wonky/droopy eyelid. I can't be the only one. It's been there forever but I think it's getting droopier or I'm noticing it more as I age (hitting the big 3-7 in a few weeks). Can I minimize it with makeup? Also, can you advise on…
