BEAUTY MATH: CONTOURS 🫢 (details below)

if you're new here - welcome!! my name is rachel, i worked in finance for the last two years and reviewing beauty products from an analytical or "finance-y" lens is kinda my thing! 👩🏼‍💻

i created beauty math about a year ago to take my videos one step further and REALLY dive into this analysis

as a refresher, here's how "beauty math" works:

- each episode focuses on a new product "category" (i.e., concealers, skin tints, cream blush, etc.)

- we'll focus on typical packaging size, product amount, good / bad things to look for and most importantly VALUE of each category

- by the end of the series you'll be able to quickly assess any product as you're shopping so you know when something is good value... or not🫣

along with each episode i drop the PDF for the category so you can go look at how any product stacks up against the rest !

so follow along, stay tuned for the next episode and vote for what category we should discuss next !!

see you next time💌
