In skincare and makeup, advice is often fraught with misunderstanding…women think there are some hard and fast rules about what to (or not to) use. When I worked behind the makeup counter, I heard these all the time, from “I can’t wear red lipstick” to “You should never wear powder if your skin is dry.” I thought it would be fun to poll my experts on skin care and beauty to see what they hear from their clients that are common misunderstandings.
