What do you get if you cross a makeup artist with a stand-up comedian? @Jeremythegirl the author of this #prgifted book. Strange combo? Not really. Although Jeremy does contrast her dual profession ‘In beauty we try to conceal your imperfections, while in comedy we try and magnify the flaws’ I think they sound perfectly complimentary: as a makeup artist she must gather some amazing material that she can then use as a comedian. Her anecdotes are hilarious, and although I didn't learn anything new about beauty, I sure as hell had fun. And now I really want Jeremy to do my makeup. Check out the full #bookreview in this week's #freshbeautyfix #beautyblog post BOOK REVIEW: BEAUTY BOOKS WITH A TWIST.
