Growing up in a conservative family, one of the things I had no knowledge of was makeup. And as I grew older, there was a need for me to experiment to look nice during formal presentations and important events. But I didn’t know where and what to start on. My mind told me to stick with brands I know or heard of, while my indecisiveness couldn’t decide whether or not to buy that red lipstick I’d been eyeing. I only ended up walking out of the store shy and empty-handed. So for all of you out there who are like me, don’t worry, because now Giltbox has got your back!
