That barrier cream step your friend probably skipped is way more important than people think. Are you sure they explained the full sectioning and foiling part too? I've seen stylists try to cut corners by painting too wide of a section at once, and that's always a bleed waiting to happen. Maybe the "faster" part just means they left out a key step.

Watched my friend try that heel lock lacing thing last week. He had these awful blisters from his work boots. He looped the laces around the ankle part, and boom, no more slipping. Said it felt like a whole new pair of shoes.

Sure, wow matters, but editing should still respect the actual object.
