First Makeup Tutorial- Purple Palette

Wow... Am I excited to write this post or what.
I've planned this out in my mind meticulously for many years. 
I always wanted to be a blogger. I tried to blog about me and Than but lets be honest, most people don't care about us that much (well, my mom does) , so why not blog about something other people will actually be interested in (rather than a billion pictures of my son, thats what instagram is for no?)

All right, lets get down to business! 
First, I want to warn you, this is my first time making video tutorials so don't be quick to judge (I say ummm way to much, dont worry, it gets better as my videoing skills have improved).
Secondly, I swear I am not trying to convert you to MAC... 
ok, I am, but I am not being sponsored or paid by them (I wish!). I just really adore their product. There are many cheaper and fancier alternatives to MAC, but overall, MAC rocks. 
Ok Im done preaching here. Thirdly (I hope thats a word), I am from Mexico City so if my accent comes out, just laugh, 
its ok, I'm not watching you

Welp, now that we got THAT out of the way, lets get serious. I created this video because EVERY time I wear this look to work, Every customer asks me to do it on them. So, lets just say purples are popular, or they just want me to magically transform them into a mini me with the swipe of my magic brush. Either way, this is a look that can work on any skin tone, thats whats so great about purples. They look great on almost everyone.

Try this look on you. Make it your own. Ready, set, go!

Ps if you have a smart phone, download the blogger app so you can watch it while you are accentuating your beauty with some makeup.

And remember, practice makes perfect.

Here's a picture of the end result:
