Dearest Fashionista Readers,

I'm a 16 year old fashion and beauty maniac who works at a teen newspaper in Atlanta You can check it out here at VoxRox.org. Our latest issue deals with "Masks and Identity" and I found myself asking, if by dressing up, are we really just covering up?

I'm certainly no beauty expert, but I do love to sit and apply colors and powders of all sorts to my face, but lately, I've had to ask myself, am I covering up more than a blemish? Basically, is makeup just a mask?

I'd love to hear your opinions on this.

Thanks!

I am obsessing over the lipcolor at this week's Proenza Schouler show!

It is the perfect orangy-red.

Has anyone read who did the makeup?

Thanks!

XOXO

Hi everyone!

To keep it short and sweet - I've been trying to find an awesome eye shadow.

I'm open to any brand as long as it's good quality by which I don't necessarily mean expensive. I kind of want to experiment with bright colors that blend well and will last all day.

I'm interning so I'm not looking to make any major cosmetic investments but just something fun for the summer.

Any thoughts?

I know that most of you have heard about the cosmetic line for men at H&M, which includes bronzer and mascara.

I'm eighteen and wear mascara every day.

But I'm wondering:

If you saw a boy with long, dark lashes, would you assume he was just lucky?

Or would "maybe it's Maybelline" come to mind?
