What are three things you'd tell to a makeup newcomer?

Price does not equal quality; higher price means you are, at a minimum, paying extra for branding, and you may or may not get high quality with it. There are so many releases that it’s okay to wait and think about something–even if you “miss out,” there’s another release tomorrow. Find...
