People overestimate how involved celebrities are in their celebrity owned makeup brands. And I have experienced less than positive interactions I will just leave it at that 🥴 I would never want any one of you to ever feel intimidated and worried about saying hi and meeting me in person EVER. You all are the reason why I have this platform in the first place 🤎
