Is there any color that is underrepresented in makeup?

Is there any color that is underrepresented in makeup?

I think cooler undertone products are missing from color cosmetics quite a bit – like cooler browns and taupes but also quality lavenders, grays, and purples. The most obvious gap is in base products with issues in shade/undertone diversity.

How do you use any products or tools to customize your makeup?

I like using something like MAC Fix+ to improve adhesion or intensity for wet/dry products or more sparkly powder products. I also mix in liquid highlighters into foundations for sheerer coverage and/or luminosity.

How has your involvement in the beauty community evolved since you started wearing makeup?

I started off commenting and posting often in a community dedicated to MAC makeup, and then I ended up starting my own blog, which is where I am today. It was a hobby, but it became my full-time job after I graduated from my graduate programs.
