These Gender-Neutral Makeup Brands Aren't Just Changing The Game, They're Making A New One

The second I started wearing makeup, I didn't just dot on a bit of concealer and lip gloss. I went straight to doing a full high-coverage foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, liner, and mascara. There may or may not have been a bit of a contour, too.

About a decade later, I now wear less makeup than I probably ever have, but I still follow all of my favorite beauty influencers and drag makeup artists on Instagram, lusting after the true art that they make out of the seemingly simple items we pass by in the aisles of Sephora and Ulta on a regular basis.

All genders have been embracing makeup for ages, but the mainstream beauty industry and mass industry giants have yet to catch up for the most part. That's where small businesses and boutique retailers championing inclusivity, the LGBTQ community, and gender neutrality in the vast beauty business.

One of the greatest things I love about the world of beauty is its ability to mirror cultural issues — these brands, below, are champions of social justice in the world of beauty.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
