Zara Barrie is the former Senior Sex & Dating writer for Elite Daily, the current senior writer at GO Magazine and founder of The Dirty Beauty, a wellness blog for bad girls. She identifies as a mascara lesbian and lives beyond her means in New York.
"Self-help meets memoir. Party girl meets wise sage. Beauty meets
reality. Zara Barrie is the cool older sister you wish you had. The
one that lets you borrow her designer dresses and ripped up
fishnets, buys you champagne (she loves you too much to let you
drink beer), and colors your lips with bright pink lipstick. She'll
take you to the coolest parties, and will stick by your side and
she guides you through the glitter, pain, danger, laughter, and
what it means to be a f*cked up girl in this f*cked up world (both
of which are beautiful despite the darkness). Girl, Stop Passing
Out in Your Makeup is for the girls that are too much of a
beautiful contradiction to be contained. Zara is a gifted
writer--one second she'll have you laughing over rich girls
agonizing over which Birkin bag to buy, the next second she'll
shatter your heart in one sentence about losing one's innocence.
Zara is the nuanced girl she writes for--light, irreverent, snarky,
bitchy, funny; and aching, perceptive, deep, flawed, wise, poised,
honest--all at once. Perhaps the only thing that can match Zara's
unparalleled wit and big sister advice is her candid humor and
undeniable talent for the written word. Zara is one of the most
prolific and entertaining honest voices on the internet--and her
talent is only multiplied in book form. Girl, Stop Passing Out
in Your Makeup is for the bad girls, honey." --Danya Troisi,
Executive Editor, GO Magazine
"If Cat Marnell and F. Scott Fitzgerald had a literary baby it
would be Zara Barrie. She's got Marnell's casual, dark, downright
hilarious tone of an irreverent party girl. But then she also has
Fitzgerald's talent for making words literally feel like they
sparkle on the page. You instantly feel more glamorous after
reading a page of Zara's writing, even when the page is talking
about getting into a screaming match with her girlfriend outside of
a bar on a Sarasota street corner while high on benzos. I've always
been a fan of Zara's writing, but Girl, Stop Passing Out in Your
Makeup takes it to the next level. With shimmery words that
make her dark stories sparkle, she seamlessly manages to inspire
even the most coked-out girl at the party to get her shit
together."--Candice Jalili, Senior Sex & Dating Writer, Elite Daily
