A space for women and girls to share their experiences and perspectives
What have you always wanted to ask other women but were too embarrassed to ask?
I'll start: how the fuck do other ladies get lipstick to stay on all day?

How do other ladies deal with makeup in the first place? I genuinely admire women with makeup skills, mostly because I'm so confused by the whole thing. Do these women just give up an extra hour of sleep every morning? Does their skin somehow not break out the second products touch it? Do they have to retouch their look all day or is there some magic ritual you can perform that leaves your face perfect for more than a whole hour at a time? There are so many things I don't understand.
I have similar questions about fingernails. I think long nails are so pretty, but I don't understand how it's possible to have long nails and also a life that includes things like dishes and using the bathroom. And don't even get me started on the way nail polish chips when you look at it.
I went through a period where I did my nails every other day and they grew really lovely and long. Now I can't be bothered and they're short and gross.
