Do You Try New Looks?

How often do you try a new makeup look?  For some, it’s a fun adventure, a way to exercise your artistic flair.

 For others, it creates anxiety. You like what you have, and if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

I tried an idea today. I did a cat eye, and instead of filling in with the eyeliner, I filled the “triangle” with a shimmer color.  I used a silver shimmer.

You could fill in with pink, green, blue, purple, amber…the possibilities are endless, and it depends on your personal coloring. I think the key is to use a shimmer color.

It’s easier to use two eyeliner brushes.  That way you don’t have to clean one to do the second color.

This is an easy thing to try. This video was my first try doing this technique.  If you want a little guidance, I would love to set a time for you to do a session. Virtual or in person.  Reach out.

I had a client who wanted a bronzer. Mary Kay often has one on their limited-edition line.  For whatever reason, they have not had one for seasons.  Personally, I think that’s a failure.  I often get requests for bronzers.

This is a perfect example of making lemonade from lemons.  I created my own bronzer, and…I also customized a bronzer for cool or warm coloring. 

Not only do you get a bronzer, but you also get a contour color, a blush color, and even better?  You can use these two colors for eye shadow. 

For your personalized makeup lesson, I can meet with you in person or via zoom.  These sessions are fun and FREE! 

You can book a time with me right from this page.  I’ll look forward to it.
