It's been a long time, but I promise I will get back to blogging on a regular basis. The purpose of my post today is simply to vent. There are a lot of women like myself who LOVE makeup as much as I do, maybe even more than I do. Some of these women do really well on their own makeup and others do well doing others makeup. However, just because you own a lot of makeup and love doing your own makeup, does not, I repeat, DOES NOT....make you a makeup artist. There are certain techniques that you may use on yourself that work for you (or don't work, but you are still satisfied with how you look everyday). Just because these techniques work for you and your face structure, does not mean you can use this same technique on others. It is even worse, doing someone's makeup who does not usually wear any. There is such a thing as subtle beauty. People have to work themselves up to bright colors and dramatic applications (please refer to my Electric Eel post). If I have said it once, I have said it a million billion trillion times before, it does not matter where you buy your makeup, whether its name brand, or no brand, but the right set of brushes is essential for a flawless makeup application. If you are still using the sponge tip applicator that came with your makeup.......throw them out. Buy a set of starter brushes, until you get some really nice brushes. Just buy brushes and stop using a sponge to apply makeup. Even if you do others makeup and you want something hygienic and disposable, use disposable lip stick and lip gloss applicators and mascara brushes, but buy brushes, and clean them on a regular basis using baby shampoo and let them air dry. I witnessed someone disrespect someones face recently in the disguise of a favor. I could tell the one on the receiving end of that sponge tip applicator was not happy. I had to have a side note with them and tell them, while they are still beautiful, don't make the mistake of letting anyone do their makeup. Sometimes, when you look at someones makeup, you are actually looking at a canvas. Just as a true artist, this canvas shows what type of artist and skill this person has. Though art is open for interpretation, there are still basic rules true artists follow. Please know where your skill lies, and if you are not working to improve that skill, leave the makeovers to the professionals.
