Eleanor Roosevelt and Lyudmila Pavlichenko.
   Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a Soviet sniper credited with 309 kills, she is regarded as the most successful female sniper in history. She visited with President Franklin Roosevelt, becoming the first Soviet citizen to be welcomed at the White House. Afterward, Eleanor Roosevelt asked Lyudmila to accompany her on a tour of the country and tell Americans of her experiences as a woman in combat. Pavlichenko was only 25, but she had been wounded four times in battle.

aka “I’m a 22 year old newb and needed to find some resources”. Here’s what I’ve found so far that has really helped me! Lots of these are youtube tutorials; I find it more helpful to see someone doing it rather than just reading about it.

Face:

Lips:

Youtube Channels:

Blogs:

Cruelty Free Brands:

  • Hard Candy
  • N.Y.C.
  • e.l.f.
  • Lush
  • Wet n Wild
  • bh cosmetics
  • Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics
  • Impulse Cosmetics
  • Urban Decay
  • illamasqua
  • Melt Cosmetics
  • Sugarpill
  • Colourpop
  • Kat Von D
  • Anastasia
  • NARS
  • Smashbox

*Important Note: Some of these brands may or may not be sold in other countries that require animal testing by law in order for the products to be sold, but I don’t have the time to research animal testing laws outside the US as well as what brands sell in those countries. So I’m leaving this one up to you. 

Okay, this has been in my drafts for at least 3 months now. Time to roll it out! Keep in mind, these are videos/bloggers that helped me specifically and there may be some videos/links that aren’t as useful to you. That’s okay! I recommend you get lost in the beauty blogger side of youtube at some point, it’s a lot of fun and you never know what you’ll find!

And on a last note of disclaimer: I don’t follow the personal lives/twitter feed/rumors about anyone in these videos. I don’t know if someone is problematic or not, I am simply recommending the video.

wonderful resource for nonbinary/trans people who have a desire to wear makeup, but were never taught because of gross gender roles
