There is something about a shared beauty obsession that cements a friendship like nothing else. My partner, who many of you know from Bag Snob, and I first met in New York City during our college years. It was a summer that would change both our lives and our makeup routines forever.

The Fifth Avenue Intervention
I still remember standing on Fifth Avenue in the glaring August sun when I first noticed her makeup. It looked less like skin and more like a mask. Without a second thought, I dragged her into the nearest cosmetic counter at Bergdorf Goodman and asked the sales associate for help. "Can you help her please? She looks like she's wearing a mask!" I blurted out. The associate’s response was legendary: "I hope she's either your sister or your best friend because those are the only people you should take that kind of abuse from."
A Bond Built on Beauty Secrets
Thankfully, we became best friends that day and have been sharing our makeup secrets with each other ever since. We’ve stood by each other through every beauty triumph and disaster. She was there when I frantically bought 20 bottles of a Shu Uemura foundation that was about to be discontinued. In return, I supported her through her legendary "eyebrow crisis." Real friendship is being there for the high-stakes beauty moments.
Scouring the Globe for the Best
Our passion has taken us around the world. From the bustling streets of Hong Kong to the high-end boutiques of Tokyo and back to New York, we have scoured every department store for the best cleansers and lip glosses, which we'll share here on Beauty Snob We even took matters into our own hands and formulated our own nail polish when we couldn't find that one perfect shade.
To say we are "Beauty Snobs" would be a massive understatement. We felt it was finally time to share our secrets with the world! Check out our sister site often for all things to bring out the Beauty in you.
