"But the younger generation of fashion assistants and the interns who were my peers still craved beautiful tubes of magical gunk like children in a candy store. We consumed YouTube makeup tutorials like each one was a smiling gob of ice cream and zoomed in with squinted eyes to catch any hint of detailing on runway fingernails. If a hairdo required a maximum of two hands, we’d replicate it, and if a lip color was to be found on the shelves at any cost, we wore it. This isn’t to say that it wasn’t also all about the clothes for us. It’s just that when you’re twenty and dying to own a pair of your favorite designer’s shoes but can only afford the eyeshadow, beauty seems like a very real way to interact with a world that’s still slightly alien."
