Makeup is a form of self-expression. Through the makeup you use, you can describe yourself to be anything you want. Not to mention it is so fun to use. When going to a party or to homecoming, it is easy to say that every girl’s favorite part is getting ready with friends while doing each other’s makeup.
Not all girls can be good at makeup, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love it. The happiness an Academy girl feels at a makeup store is like the happiness of a kid at a candy store. The variety of brands, colors, textures, and brushes is endless. Some of Academy’s favorite makeup products are as follows.
The most popular makeup store is Sephora. There is one located at every mall and they have the largest variety of brands and products. Sephora also offers makeup appointments for special events and every once in awhile,they have special sales.
