One thing that should be noted - this isn't just some woman writing about her personal preferences. This is a male makeup artist who has an unbelievable amount of knowledge about the chemical side of makeup, as well as having done work in many fashion shows, ad campaigns and publications you would all be familiar with (Imitation of Christ, Diesel, Patricia Field, Zink, New York Magazine, Interview, Target, Best Buy etc.)

I am a member of an industry site created for people in the industry (stylists, models, photographers etc.) to network, at all levels from amateur to pro, and he's also on this website and quite active in its forums. Reading many of his posts on those forums, I've come to see that his knowledge of makeup beyond just the basic what colours and textures go together is quite astounding. He is basically the go-to guy when anyone wants to know anything about the more chemical side of makeup. So his blog there is not just an opinion piece... it's quite rooted in fact and a lot of knowledge.
