New Years Eve Tutorial

Hey Darlings!

Hope you are all well. It has been a few months since I have posted and I apologize! Things have been a whirl wind around here. Not going into detail considering I'd like to keep somethings private but I can assure you I am here to stay :). Christmas sure helped as I got a new camera and Derek got me Power Director Editing software to edit. Now before you get too excited, editing is not one of my strongest points but I will give it my best. Now unlike a ton of guru's out there I can't say that I have the time to do insane amounts of editing but I'm sure simple thinks like watching me put on mascara for 2 minutes is kind of boring to say the least so that's where movie magic comes in haha. 

Now on to the tutorial!

Modern Basic

Just a little tid bit :)

My new favorite brand of cosmetics! Modern Basic is a cosmetic distributor that also does private labeling. & great for students, makeup artists, and even freelance MUA to build their kits or even to just restock since the prices are low. Modern Basic products have been used in schools, and see in various spa's and trade shows (IMATS, Hair shows etc). Thought I'd just pass that along since I just found out about the company.

What is your favorite brand that you came across lately?

LOVE YA!

Weird Facts TAG

Hey Darlings!

Hope your well :). I was recently asked to do more TAG videos and of course I said yes! I know my biggest request is to do more tutorials, and I'm working on it, I'm trying to find good lighting again, and a good setup. I've tried a few different areas of our house and so far I keep getting an orange cast or the lighting is way too dark. Don't fret my lovelies I have one last idea I'm working on and I think it may be a winner. *Fingers crossed!* There's always the option of expensive lights and a better camera but unfortunately I don't have that sorta cash to burn. Hopefully in the future I can get a better setup, don't forget Christmas is coming :P 

Anywhooo! Enjoy the video my loves!
