one more halloween look!

I couldn't resist! I had to post this new look that I learned how to do today, it looks awesome from up close cause you can actually see the stitches, I use potty for this look, it is not too hard to do, but you need to have the right tools to make it look the way you want. Great for Halloween, even for a Frankenstein look with stitches in the forehead :)

3 basic eye brushes

3 BASIC EYE BRUSHES

If you are just getting started with your make up kit and don't know exactly what kind of brushes you need, this will be really helpfull! Brushes can be a little expensive, considering that you need some for the eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, face, etc... but the good news is that you don't have to get them all in the department store make up counters! But I will recommend you the ones that you should buy there.
The eye is such an important feature, so if you are planning on spending money on brushes, this is it! These are the ones that need to be of the highest quality and there are 3 brush types I recommend.

Definition/Angle brush: As you can see in the eye picture the darker area was defined by this brush, because of the angle tip it is so easy to trace the line where you want the eye shadow to go, yes! Even for beginners.

Blending brush: My favorite! this will give the magic-professional touch to your eyes, it will blend the darker color into the highlight making your eye look sophisticated.

Hightlight/Small Blending brush: This will give the final touch, enhancing your eyebrow bone area and make your eyes pop out even more!

My favorite 3 brush brands are the ones in the pics which are: angle-Chanel, blending-MAC, highlight-Bobbi Brown.

The real trick about a make up artist is in the brush! So if you want to have your make up routine jump to a new level, new brushes are a MUST!

Halloween spooky make up

  

Here is another idea for this upcoming halloween! I am taking a tv/film make up class at BYU and I have been learning some cool tricks to do scary make up!

The products are from Ben Nye and you can get them at the halloween stores that are all over the place , here in utah you can also find them in taylor maid.

Oily skin NOT in for this season!

Hi again! I have to tell you about one of my best little make up secrets... for those of you out there who have oily skin and dont know what to do, I got the solution and you are going to love it! Its called the mattifying powder from Arbonne, really my favorite product from this brand, and even better it is colorless on the skin. I have really oily skin in my T-zone (nose and forehead) and when I discovered this I almost lost it! Its amazing, you put it on before your moisturizer and then you put a little bit after you are done applying your make up foundation.

I wanted to show how great this product is on myself but I didn't have oily skin when I wanted to take the picture so I grabbed Jake haha and told him to be my model. Plus he is a good example of a regular oily skin which is in the forehead. Look at the difference without the powder! the light goes directly to the shine, then with the powder it completely blocks it. The powder is $25 dollars and it is amazing it goes for a long time and you just need a little bit for those oily days. Hopefully you get a chance to try it   :)
