Back then you couldn’t flip a page in a fashion magazine without coming across some starlet or supermodel raving about Benefit Benetint or Stila Convertible Color , sporting matte skin and lips in various shades of cocoa and beige. I remember desperately trying to copy the the makeup I saw on shows like 90210 and in TLC’s ‘Creep’ video, but despite spending tens of dollars in the Bonne Bell/Wet ‘n Wild section of
