How To Take Two

Double feature

Second try

Fingers crossed

So I’m not terribly thrilled with the quality of the videos, and I'm a little frustrated with youtube and my lack of computer problem solving skills.  I feel like you can’t really see anything because it's so grainy, but at least the lighting is good.  Hopefully next week I'll have worked out any bugs and you'll have yourselves a bbeeaauuttiiffuull tutorial that I'm happy with.  For some reason last week youtube was all “you can’t load this it’s too big!” and I was all like “thanks…it’s not like I work hard on these things…”  Trial and error is the way to go like anything else, and at lease I have a video up this week!  I’ll take it!

Today is a recreation of the never aired Glowy Angel Skin from last week, and a shout out to Jessica Dowson's request for some eyebrow advice.

*  If you are uncomfortable shaping and tweezing your own eyebrows, I would highly recommend seeing a professional.  It's okay if you cant do them yourself, and your local spa therapist is a wonderful tool so please use them!

Glowing Angel Face & A Pink Lip

 Beautiful Complexion

Shimmering Glow

Lip Flush

This look is a different take on festive makeup.  You don’t have to be a wiz with eye shadow to pull this one off too.  I was browsing sephora.com, and one of their adds had a beautiful glowing woman who looked like an angel.  I thought, wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could harness that and show all my beauty’s on the interwebs!  So here it is. 

I would recommend using a proper meant to be face highlight because I had a little sparkle control problem using the high pigment shimmer. Also, if you need more coverage that a tinted moisturizer can give you, go ahead and use your normal foundation…and because I’m not a huge foundation user myself I couldn’t tell you what brands I recommend.  I guess I have some homework to do eh J

When I started these makeup tutorials, I really wanted to target an audience who wasn’t overly comfortable using makeup, showing them some tricks that are easier to build confidence.  My goal is to show every young woman, that they are truly and wonderfully beautiful in their own way, and my mission statement will to always encourage a healthy body image and positive self esteem.  I do plan to progress in skill level and colour intensity at some point, to grow with my viewers, but for now I will only be teaching simple techniques. 

If you are looking for more intense looks or different styles of technique, I can recommend the following youtubers and their tutorials.

Leesha is Xsparkage, and I really enjoy her tutorials.  I’m pretty sure she gets paid to be on youtube and run her makeup website doing reviews and getting free stuff from cosmetic companies.  Her style is very colourful and exciting, and you can find her at http://www.youtube.com/user/xsparkage

Josh is Petrilude, and he is the most beautiful man I have ever seen.  His alter drag ego is Misty Maven and his style is very dramatic and kind of reminds me of Curque Du Soliel.  You can find him at http://www.youtube.com/user/petrilude

And for some other local talent, a young woman I went to high school with is Make-up by Hannah.  Her tutorials, I think have a retro influence to them because she loves the 50’s eyeliner and has eyebrows like Marilyn Monroe.  You can follow her beautiful creations at http://www.youtube.com/user/Hannah23Bell
