A Cosmetic Custom- Unzipped?

Raise the Roots, The Tri-on is finally here..

Never in decades if not centuries has anyone or anything seem to stall the cosmetic industry, but it's August 2020 before it dawns on me that it's been months since I've applied lip color to my lips.  Who or what has prompted the pause on this Tri-on?

You won't hear it in the news unless its after The Beauty Inside-Out Beautician has left the scene of the crime.  It's been reported that in 2018 the global cosmetic market grew by an estimated 5.5 percentile.  Now what about here in 2020 in the midst of a global pandemic?  Has a list on teeny-boppers switched out their pink and mark brands for face moisturizer and sunscreen?  That's about the size of it with the constant off and on or daily wear of surgical face masks.  And while we're on the topic of masks, what's on the other side of those masks.  Perhaps written therein are our daily affirmations.  The kind of affirmations that you might get from a good all day coverage or press powder.  Whatever it is, I'm interested in all the numbers.  I'm also interested in the number of symbolic interactions one obtains with the shared interest of gloved hands, wrapped faces, personal sanitizers, and the like made readily available to bridge the slightest unwanted run-ins or brush ups.  I'll also like to hear a story or two of a time when one forgets about a possible smudge and pulls down their face covering only to be pointed at or is it that small bit of laughter that helps us to remember that our cosmetic customs are now dated by a greater cultural bug.  In a census year, I'm also curious if it would be too much to wonder if companies like Alastin Skincare found it's hand creams to be big sellers with all the hand washing, or has it come to find it more profitable and turned to selling hand sanitizers.  With a reported three years revenue growth, perhaps they're the right insider to turn to for a consensus on what the global health scare has done to keep revenues up.  Essentially, I might have thought workers at such plants and workplaces would be at home with a non-essential labeling but it was my shortsightedness and ignorance not to recognize that cosmetics are not just eye shadows and lip-balms.  Equally, I should have seen the long-lasting impressions of an industry almost as old as skin.  Now that I've made that realization, The Beauty Inside-Out Beautician is ready to unzip it's cosmetic bag and find out how to find an essential spot in such an industry that has got to be related to Cosmetology.
