Yes! As @JoSometimes said, you are more than welcome! Feel free to browse and participate in threads and ask questions. Welcome! @oliva627

@missaa8 I did some digging and it seems like the terms are interchangeable. I suppose it might depend a little on the context. The safest thing to do when in doubt is to just ask quickly before continuing. I hope this helps!

Hi @Ebunbun and welcome to BIC!! It's fantastic that you're exploring yourself and interested in experimenting with makeup. Do you happen to have a Sephora nearby? You can visit there and inquire about a makeup session (there might be a fee involved), where they'll teach you makeup techniques and help you discover what suits you best!! Good luck! 🐞🍀

@Kinseyyyyyy Absolutely! Trans is an umbrella term, a catch all for anyone who doesn’t completely identify with the sex assigned at birth. I’m genderfluid too, male at birth, and I swing wildly back and forth between the two.

@XxJasmin5xX YEEEESSSS! I’m so excited for you! I still remember my very first makeover at Sephora. It was absolutely magical! I’m not sure how you feel about being in a public space. You can request to move to a quieter spot in the store if that makes you feel more comfortable. Feel free to dress up before hand, they’re very welcoming. And don’t forget to bring some reference photos of the look you want to achieve. The 60 minute service is enough to do a basic look up to a soft glam look. If you really want to glam it up, you’ll need the 90 minute service. As @Westcoasty mentioned, some locations offer a 75 minute lesson. Even if your location doesn’t do lessons, you are welcome to ask questions along the way and they’ll leave you with tips to do it again at home. You can also ask for a full rundown of all the products they use in case you want to purchase them for yourself. And please come back and let us know how it went!

Hey @AvocadoGurl! Welcome! If you haven’t already, please feel free to say hello on Introduce Yourself: New Member Monday Also, a quick tip for navigating BIC: Use @ when replying to someone. It doesn’t automatically inform other when you’ve replied. We use this as a workaround so that messages don’t get missed. 🙂

Welcome @thickwb! Feel free to say hello on Introduce Yourself: New Member Monday Looking forward to chatting about skincare and makeup with you.
