Advice on applying makeup

[Mallerlyn]

Start with washing your face, moisturizing and then priming! The base of the makeup is the most important 🙂

This was a great intro for new users. I know I personally lurked for some time before posting and there wasn't a new member thread when I joined. I would also suggest also making posts that are specific instead of just titled "Help!!!"

What really resonated with me about this video was mentioning how nice and kind the BIC folks are. I still can't believe how lovely everyone is here.

@sprocketta Love your kind words! Do you remember what your first post was? aka what made you make the jump from lurkin'? 🙂 So glad you did btw!

[sprocketta]

@AlexBT Here's my first post. It was VERY tentative, as you can see. I was fixating on getting a new foundation. I never took the class, just read lots of reviews and made a few trips to the store. Ultimately I settled on the IT Cosmetics cc cream. That stuff is amazing! Funny I was so set on this, because I rarely wear base makeup. But I tend to get my mind on a certain type if product and then research compulsively and buy. But now I always ask for BIC opinions too.

Hello! I have been a member for a while and have reviewed a few products that I purchased online via the Sephora app. Why are my reviews not showing as “Verified Purchases?”

Thanks for the advice. I'm looking for a nice group to get and share advice.  I already like it here. Now off to finish that profile.

@TeamBIC This is a great video 🙂 Yes, everyone is very helpful at BIC ❤️

Side note: in my mind, I have been pronouncing it "bick" the whole time!!

[curlychiquita]

@pocketvenus, I've always said bick, too! 😆

[PrettyPaint]

@pocketvenus  Haha, yes, this is how I've always pronounced it as well.
