In the Amodrn team, we have a wide range of beauty styles. Some of us always have perfectly styled hair and swear by a good lippy. Others are extremely lazy about their hair (okay, it’s me), but will never be seen without groomed brows and a coat of mascara. But despite our different personal tastes, we all LOVE writing about beauty.
