Maintaining personal boundaries while cultivating a deeply personal connection with her followers is something that Gitty has mastered, and is happy to break down for and share with you this week. In getting asked how to get one’s makeup to last, she refers a Sparkler to her newly launched 72 Hour Glam Mastery and takes you on a delightful virtual tour of the www.gittybergerbrand.com website.

Procrastination is the most insidious obstacle to productivity. Gitty gives a myriad of potential causes as well as practical tips on how to combat it. A Sparkler writes in, asking how to makeup shop properly and how to navigate the often intimidating world of beauty in general; Gitty breaks down the behind the scenes of the beauty industry as well as her approach to beauty education.

Self confidence, and muffling outside noise and opinions is a common struggle many of us face. Gitty breaks down both the logical root and emotional unpacking of this phenomenon. Sparkle wise, a question about blush application suddenly making concealer look too white reveals a concealer, not blush issue. Gitty explains how to take the bright under-eye trend and make it work for every skin tone.

One Sparkler writes in about the pain of being suddenly cut off from a friendship with no prior warning. Gitty explores the emotions that come along with that experience as well as how to best process them. The Sparkle question this week is all about how to create a beautiful foundation look on flaky skin or skin with large pores; Gitty explains what does and does not work and why.

Losing motivation when you stop seeing results is a common struggle. Gitty explores typical sources for this phenomenon, and how we can combat it to create the results we want. A Sparkler asks for tips on learning to be comfortable without her beloved thick black eyeliner; and knowing how many women use liner as their makeup security blanket, Gitty offers realistic tips on how to ease into the more natural, “no liner” look.

This week, Gitty tackles the monster that is perfectionism. She compares the growth process to a naked cake of all things, and offering other concrete ideas on how to overcome it. Freckles and foundation come next, as she clarifies how you can have the best of both worlds without settling for not enough coverage - or worse, wearing way too much.
