K so i am not doing a video tutorial today because I want to talk about a couple of products you need to own and the reasons why you need to own them.
1. 2 brushes... MAC's 239 and 224
they are about $20 and $30 respectively but you can find the first one at michaels for $3. The 224 brush you just have to purchase from MAC full price.
239
224
The reason you need this super expensive blending brush is because your makeup will never look as good without using this brush. Put it on your birthday present list because you need it. The other good thing about this brush is that it should last you YEARS (I've had mine for over 8 years). Its is something that you don't need to replace constantly. Its is a one time investment (unless you lose it of course).
2. Fix plus from MAC. Its about $20 and you can make it last for up to 2 years. I use it before I apply my makeup to moisturize, during my makeup application (if my foundation feels too dry, I mix it with some fix plus to moisten it) and as a finishing spray to hold your makeup on your face.
There are some tutorials out there on how to make it for cheap in case you're into diy-ing.
3. eyeshadow primer in painterly. Its also about $20 and same as fix plus, you can make it last up to 2 years. You put it on your eyelids up to your eyebrows before you start your eyeshadow so your eyeshadow has something to stick to. You need this, period and I don't know of anything better or cheaper than this.
Other than these three (4) things, you dont need to spend a lot of money in your makeup and specially if you feel like you already have a good collection youre set.
So... if you dont feel like going to the mall, Nordstrom has free shipping on anything, even if you only buy one of these items at a time, its FREE shipping on anything all the time... love it!
Good luck ladies!!
