It’s important to find a good pH balance in your skin, so that it doesn’t become a breeding ground for bacteria and you don’t come out with a break out of spots, dry or oily skin.

photos + post by amy nadine, graphic design by eunice chun When I’m talking to friends and strangers, I can’t help but notice if their lower eyeliner has traveled down the lids, making it look like they have black eyes! It’s not their fault, really… kohl and kajal liners are made to be smudge-able and have a “slip” to them; even some longwear liners will smear a little if your eyelids are on the oilier side. Yet the whole mess could have easily been prevented if only they had ”set” the liner with a little powder immediately after applying it.
