I celebrate each birthday to the fullest. This past September I turned 35!! With that however comes the importance of the right make-up choices to always make me feel that I look my best. After a huge amount of requests from the masses to spill my “face painting” secrets, I am. Follow me on this photo shoot day with the self portraits I took of my process. Can I just add how hard it is to draw a straight eye line when you are still seeing “flash” spots. Yeah! Definitely a fun challenge.
(Below I also posted a video of a make-up tutorial I did for my friend Liz, inspired by the movie, Black Swan. Watch it to see the application of my fav products.)
My BEFORE pic- Only chapstick.
Applied in order of appearance. Primer, foundation & HD powder

Thin line of blk liquid liner along lash lin
Sorme smearproof for inside rim of my eyes

Top lashes added
My lash kit. Everyone should put one together (Case from fishing dept for lures)
Use tweezers to grip & allow glue to "set" for a minute. Makes it tacky & stay where you place.
I cut lashes to size for my underneath outer corners.
Final look with bottom corner lashes added. Necklace by Hannahmade
& NOW FOR MY “SUPERHERO” EYE!
I drew my outline w/this.
Great adhesive for loose glitter. Coat skin where you wish to apply loose glitter.
Apply loose glitter using a dry brush & press it into adhesive.
Ta da!

Hi Brig. I’m a big fan
I was wondering if you were going to Empire School of Beauty’s Future Professionals Expo this year. I saw you in last years video and was really excited.
Not sure yet. I had such an awesome time!
