Not a day goes by that I don’t see this query pop up (and its variations). Let me tell you: I’ve done the education and now I’m sharing my findings with you, from A to Z! Here are some MAC…

I wish Inflact was available when Kelly Rowland was doing GRWM lives/stories for her X-Factor appearances. I distinctly remember being bummed that I couldn’t download a specific makeup video she uploaded her to her profile some years back. She uploaded herself wearing a metallic smokey blue eye and nude lip combo then – if I remember correctly. You can see more of her…
