I think the makeup industry needs to use more everyday real woman in their TV ads, and magazines.

A lot has changed in the industry, before it was truly rare to find anyone who was interested in makeup and now because of social media it has boomed to the extreme with interest and all the secrets to application is no longer a secret.I learned everything from reading and practice and just getting the styles down from pure raw trial and error in the early 90's it was work with what you have or looking also at magazines and go for it.Products were cheap in cost nothing booming as compared to now.It seems like now anyone can watch a video and claim to be an Mua but as before you really had to work at it from just pure thought and on hands with different faces not just on your self.Look I'm ok with the interest rising but I'm not ok with the lack of respect of it because of YouTube because not only did it boom but now it's not taken as seriously because unless you do a video that's only when someone wants to hear you out or believe your skills or info and that bugs the heck out of me because a lot of the info is incorrect unless it comes from some people that are in the business of makeup or truly take it seriously without the popularity aspect of it.Their is a lot of pros and cons in the makeup world right now and this is just my take on it of the 20 years I've been in the love of it all  :-)
