*Important Note: Some of these brands may or may not be sold in other countries that require animal testing by law in order for the products to be sold, but I donโt have the time to research animal testing laws outside the US as well as what brands sell in those countries. So Iโm leaving this one up to you.ย
Okay, this has been in my drafts for at least 3 months now. Time to roll it out! Keep in mind, these are videos/bloggers that helped me specifically and there may be some videos/links that arenโt as useful to you. Thatโs okay! I recommend you get lost in the beauty blogger side of youtube at some point, itโs a lot of fun and you never know what youโll find!
And on a last note of disclaimer: I donโt follow the personal lives/twitter feed/rumors about anyone in these videos. I donโt know if someone is problematic or not, I am simply recommending the video.
wonderful resource for nonbinary/trans people who have a desire to wear makeup, but were never taught because of gross gender rolesย
Oh joy! Just something to help anyone willing to read.
