On today’s episode of You Beauty, Leigh Campbell and Amy Clark answer your burning beauty questions, along with their Beauty Bite hacks and product recommendations. Plus, find out what’s trending in the world of beauty news.
The Beauty Edit:
Can drinking out of an ‘emotional support water bottle’ give you wrinkles, and should you be buying a viral ‘side straw’?

Concealer tips: how to make under-eye concealer last all day, will a rimmer help it from sliding off your face?
Beauty Bite Hacks:
Exactly how Amy tints her own lashes at home using an at-home brow and lash dye kit.
