you've come so far Monica, from quitting your tech job to speaking in freaking NEW YORK it's been great seeing you grow, keep going!! ❤

[zeynabgafoor]

Monica I just wanted to thank you for teaching me how to apply makeup properly and telling me truthfully what brands are. You are amazing and I love getting the notification that you have released a new video. Hope you have a great time in New York I know your going to do fantastic

This was honestly such a fun but relatable struggle to watch. The way you carefully picked out minis and still tried to pack for a full beat — totally get it. It’s wild how something as small as a makeup bag can cause so much stress, but you really made it work (even if the zipper didn’t survive). Loved seeing your product picks and how intentional you were, especially with the red lip. You didn’t fail — you just redefined the assignment.

Multipurpose products work best for this chalenge. 😊 My tiny go-to are:

1. Red or pink cream product for blush, lips, and eyes.
2. Contour powder for eyes and contour
3. Eyeliner
4. Mascara
5. Translucent powder
6. Medium coverage concealer for foundation & concealing
7. Mini highlighter (for eyes as well)

The “do you see how shallow this is” had me in the feels😅 so proud of you! Please do show how it all worked out❤

[ArviI-qc]

As a fellow indian i cannot imagine the amount of courage it takes for you to break the cycle of engineers and doctors but rather choosing a profession you love .I cannot be more proud of you on how far you've come(wish I had the courage)

[raiyanavorajee]

Also good luck for your speech

Day 2: please please make a video where you rank your best to worst lipsticks that you have ever tried based on formula, lasting power, colour, comfort etc ❤❤
