Green eyeshadow



I've been playing with new makeup lately. I got an eyeshadow primer and eyeliner pencil from Urban Decay. The primer really keeps my eye makeup looking perfect all day long. The eyeliner pencil is very creamy and easy to glide on. It is also water proof. I posted a couple of pictures of me wearing green eyeshadow. And of course if the boys see a camera, they have to get in on the action.

Spring fever

I just had to change my background. The other one was pretty but just too dark.

YouTube videos

I feel like I have been sick FOREVER. One thing that has help me keep my sanity while laying in bed is YouTube videos. I've been watching makeup tutorials. There are a few people that I love to watch kandeejohnson, juicystar07, MakeupGeekTV, MichellePhan, pixiwoo, and MakeupByTiffany. Apparently I don't know much about top brand makeup. Mac seems to be the product line for makeup artists. These girls give great tips and tricks for applying makeup.

Last month at RS we had a class on makeup. A lady in our ward did a makeover and tutorial using some Mac products. This has totally put me in the mood to be a little more adventurous with my makeup. I personally like Bare Escentials makeup. A couple of weeks ago the girls in the family and I went to the mall and stopped in to check out the BE boutique. I had a lady do a really beautiful blue eye on me. It was great because she did one eye and then told me how to do it and I applied the other eye. I also got two new brushes. Now I am much more into using brushes. When I was a teenage I used the foam applicator that came with the package. What was I thinking? You have so much more control and ability to blend with a good brush.

I want to thank my mom for having the sense to take me to a makeup counter and teach me how to apply makeup when I was young. There is tones of information on the web to teach you good techniques. There is no excuse for bad makeup anymore. I guess some people just don't know their makeup is bad. That's where loved ones come in.
