Realist

You can never go wrong with a classic winged liner, never! But I decided to jazz mine up a little bit. I opted for using a bold bright colour liner instead of a black.

I'd like to make it clear that I'm not on either side of this argument, it just raises a rather interesting debate I think. A lot of things I post on my blog particularly are very "serious" I suppose, truthfully I would love to publish more beauty related things but I'm conscious that it may come across as contradictory since a lot of posts deal with feminism, body issues and serious topics like this. I suppose more broadly this raises issues of feminism and beauty. Are you expected to...
