This Beauty Blogger's Dad Did Her Makeup, and LOL, the Eyeliner Was the Biggest Struggle

Beauty blogger and model Jasmine Brown has over two million subscribers YouTube, so it's safe to say her dad might know a little about makeup if he's ever watched any of her videos. Looks like he has in fact learned a thing or two, because Brown made a video of her dad doing her makeup and he's . . . pretty good, actually.

Sure, there were a few hiccups along the way - if only all men understood the struggle of applying eyeliner - but he definitely knew about blending, contouring, and eye shadow. "I need to make those eyes pop," he said as he applied a surprisingly well-done swipe of blue shadow. As for the ending? Well, things take a comedic turn, and there's a "beard" involved. The video is from 2017, but it's still a fun (and sweet) one to watch.

North West, Queen Of The Alphas, Wears Pink Eyeliner For Her Solo Cover Moment

Most people look back on their fifth year of life and have nothing but snaggletooth school portraits and elbow macaroni necklaces to show for it. North West — on the other hand — will be looking at her first solo magazine cover on #TBT.

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West's firstborn is the cover star of a special edition of WWD 's Beauty Inc. — all by herself — no Saint or Chi in sight(although we wouldn't be opposed). The publication has named her the face of a new "youthquake" generation referred to as Alpha. "West, whether she knows it or not, is at the forefront of a generation that is highly connected, engaged with fashion and beauty, and individualistic in style," the cover story reads.

West posed for her first spread clad in colorful outfits styled by her mama, and wore a neon-pink cat-eye courtesy of makeup artist Mary Phillips with braided ponytails by Chris Appleton. Kardashian West took to Twitter to tell fans that her daughter picked out her own eyeliner, which also happens to be perfectly on trend for Spring. "I’m seriously so proud of my Northie! She picked her looks and eyeliner color and is so involved and loves fashion & beauty so much," she wrote.

Her #proudmama moment didn't come without a handful of mommy shamers, though. Some slammed the reality star for her daughter's choice in makeup:

Social media followers also called out the star for straightening her daughter's naturally curly hair for the shoot, a debacle that she's been criticized for in the past:

Kardashian West previously told Refinery29 that she has a set of beauty rules enforced for her daughter, but above all makeup is about creativity. "It is a form of expression, so I want her to express herself," she said. Judging by West's first solo spread, we can expect the five-year-old to continue with her trend-setting makeup looks — leading the Alphas in style — whether you like it or not.

·  Customers are accusing makeup brand Kat Von D of charging $20 for a full-sized eyeliner that some argue contains the amount of product that would be found in a sample-sized version.

·  The allegations began after a customer took her Kat Von D Tattoo Liner apart and posted a photo of the product's cartridge on Facebook. She accused the brand of "putting a sample-size eyeliner into a longer-shell tube."

·  The post quickly went viral, leading other customers to question the brand and its products.

·  However, other Facebook users argued that this is a common practice throughout the beauty industry.

·  Kat Von D responded to the allegations on Instagram, saying that "the cartridges in both full size liners and mini liners are the same - it's the amount of product inside each cartridge that is different."

Beauty brand Kat Von D has been accused of tricking customers into paying $20 for a full-sized eyeliner that some argue contains the amount of product that would be found in a sample-sized version.

On Tuesday, a customer named Cheyenne Vaughan took to Facebook after disassembling a Kat Von D Tattoo Liner she had purchased. In her post, Vaughan accused the brand of "putting a sample-size eyeliner into a longer-shell tube," and then selling it to customers for "triple the price."

Vaughan included a photo of the eyeliner in her post, showing the product in three separate pieces: a long tube, a cartridge that holds the actual product, and a cap to keep the eyeliner from drying out.

The post quickly went viral, leading other customers to question the brand

Some customers agreed with Vaughan, while others accused the Kat Von D brand of overcharging for its other full-sized products, including foundation.

"I don't buy her stuff anymore because I've seen this happen with foundation," one customer commented on Vaughan's Facebook post.

"Explains why I had to replace it every other month!" wrote another.

Others said that this is a common practice throughout the beauty industry

"Ummm really? No one knew this? Check all your high-dollar makeup, even weigh the powders. This on all makeup" wrote one person.

"Yep, it's not just her lol. It's all the liners and other products," said another.

On Wednesday, Kat Von D defended the Tattoo Liner on Instagram

In her post from Wednesday, the beauty mogul said that while the cartridges in both the full-sized liner and travel-sized liner are the same size, "it's the amount of product inside each cartridge that is different."

She continued: "The product fill on our full size Tattoo Liner is 0.55 ml, while the product fill for the mini is 0.2 ml - thats over DOUBLE the amount of product!"

She also said that "any brand who has an eyeliner with similar component on the market will tell you the same thing," adding that "you need that much cartridge space for the pigment to flow out."

And to give an example of another brand that appears to have a similar product, she included a photo of Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner.

There might be a good reason as to why brands would use the same cartridges in both full-sized and travel-sized products

"The 'ink wells' are the same size because duh, it saves money in production," said one Facebook user.

"The size of the pencil doesn't mean much of anything. It's the amount of ink each one has that matters. The full size has 0.55 ml of product and the travel size has 0.2 ml. So there's no scandals here," said another.

Kat Von D doesn't appear to sell sample-sized versions of its Tattoo Liner individually

However, the brand does sell the sample-sized product in a set with a sample-sized version of the Kat Von D Dagger Tattoo Liner, which costs $20 in total. It is not clear how much the sample-sized product would cost if it were to be sold on its own.

On the set's packaging, both sample-sized liners are said to contain 0.2 ml of product.

For the full-sized version of the eyeliner, both the Sephora and Kat Von D websites say that the liner contains 0.55 ml of product.
