Full Face Makeup Only Using Drugstore Products
I have always loved makeup. I used to have an obsession with it when I was younger, taking several trips to the mall every month just so I could wander around Sephora, MAC, and any other cosmetic store I came across. I would aimlessly walk around, swatching every foundation, lipstick, or eyeshadow that caught my attention. However, I quickly realized how expensive it is to use these brands consistently, especially when doing a casual, everyday look.

Oh, You Mad Cause I’m Melanin Rich?
Hey, I’m Kiyah and I love makeup. See now, when I was younger, I never thought that I would love something like THIS so much. I never was a Tomboy or nothing like that, but, I did like getting dressed up and liked to look nice. I’ve been a big darkskin girl all my life and now I’m 21. I grew up in Brooklyn where we always bought the latest fits (outfits) and flaunted it.

No Makeup Challenge
A year ago, I decided that I would do the “No Makeup Challenge.” I stumbled upon an article about this challenge and a few celebrities participating in this challenge. Instantly, I thought to myself that there was no way I could do that. I always wore makeup, under no circumstances would you ever find me in public not wearing any makeup. I used to spend over $100 a month getting new products and trying new things. Clearly, I was obsessed with putting on a full face every day even if I was just staying in. There was no way I wanted to try this.
