Transcript

I got a lot of comments about how these types of lip combos are unflattering on me. Like they look gray or dead. Did you ever stop to think maybe I like that it looks gray and dead? I understand that we live in a world where color seasons became a big thing. Clean girl makeup is still a very big thing. Kind of lost the plot in the sense that people can just like things and want to wear makeup even if it doesn't suit their undertone or it doesn't look flattering. We can still like what we like. Personally, I love these kinds of lip combos on me. I wear something warm, I feel like I look like I ate a plate of spaghetti. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. But I'm also entitled to wear my makeup in a way that makes me feel good. Love you all.
