Key Update on Terra Moons Brand
In light of the recent controversy involving Terra Moons and its partnership with a white supremacist, I must express that I cannot recommend purchasing from this brand at this time. As a queer Jewish woman, I stand firmly against white supremacy in all its forms. For a comprehensive overview of the Terra Moons drama, I encourage you to visit Reddit, where you’ll find all the requisite screenshots, timelines, and important information. If you’re searching for a dupe for any Terra Moons color, feel free to reach out to the Hex Squad; we’re more than happy to assist you in finding alternatives!
Every product showcased in this article has been personally purchased by me unless specified as *PR.
Discovering the Perfect Red Shades for Your Skin Tone
When it comes to choosing red, I find that cool-toned reds tend to be the most flattering for my complexion. Reds with too much orange often clash with my skin tone, which is a fair neutral with cool to muted yellow undertones. Understanding your skin’s undertones is crucial in selecting the right shades that enhance your natural beauty, making you feel confident and vibrant.
