The launches look tempting… but my rules might surprise you.
In this video, I walk through September’s biggest new makeup releases – from MAC, Natasha Denona, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Charlotte Tilbury, and more – and explain why I’m not buying them. Along the way, I’ll share the exact frameworks that keep me sane, save money, and make beauty feel more fun.
