Recommended Youtubers to Check Out

Hi all

It's me again, my fingers are keyboard-happy it seems!! I love this blog thing, it's a great release and fun to do. I hope this blog finds you all well...

Just wanted to recommend some youtubers who I have personally gained a LOT from, in terms of developing makeup techniques and skills, as well as great makeup reviews through vids

1. My absolute favorite is pixiwoo - check them out, they're two sisters, who are makeup artists, coming up with great educational vids. I always learn something new, or get inspired by their work

2. Drbrooklyn730 - great vids again from a young lady in New York, very informative videos and personable tutorials.

3. Makeupbyrisa- she takes you step by step on why/how she is applying what. Very clear and precise guide to creating looks...

4. ThesPNation - this guy is the King of hauls. Check him out lol

5. Scandalousbeauty-google her lol

Have a great day/afternoon/evening
Much love ;)

What is it about Makeup???

I asked myself recently, "Why is it that you spend time trying out makeup products and practising makeup skills?" I came up with...

thinking outside the box...
no boundaries...
expressing creativity...
bright colors...
perceptions of beauty...
enhancing natural beauty...
boosting confidence...
presentation...
transformation...
personality...
wedding photoshoots...

etc etc...lol

I am not at all advocating that cosmetics are the answer to life's problems, but to be honest, I am naturally a very serious person. So when I find a medium through which I can just be silly, not think too much, and have fun, I'ma grab the opportunity with both hands!!!

Have you ever asked yourself why you love makeup?
