Depotting and Melting

By: Mary Bradley

Ladies I hate having to carry around a bunch of lipstick tubes whenever I do clients makeup. Lately I've seen a lot of people start depotting and melting their makeup (foundations, lipsticks and concealer). So I wanted to try it out myself with my lipsticks!

First I took all my lipsticks, took them out of the tubes (some lipsticks were harder to get out so I scrapped them out with a knife) and put them all in each little slot. Next I put the tray in the microwave for 30 second intervals until the lipsticks were completely melted down. Don't forget to let the lipsticks cool down between each 30 seconds.

There you have it! A easier way to access your lipsticks and a fun little project for you to do:)

Thanksgiving MakeUp

By: Mary Bradley

For thanksgiving I didn't want to be too dramatic with my eye makeup so I kept it very neutral. I used my Neutral and Day & Night pallet from BHCosmetics! I used like a very light brown for my transition color, a medium brown for my crease and black on my outter v. I blended the black out with a very dark brown. I used a vanilla color on my lid! For my eyeliner I used NYC's black liquid liner and for my lashes I used Maybelline's Telescopic Mascara and toped it off with some natural Ardell lashes

So I've been looking for another concealer lately just so I can have the knowledge of different brands. So I went to Walmart and I ran across this cute pen like concealer and highlight! I went home, tried it and immediately fell in love! Not only does it have great coverage for pimples and scars, it's amazing for when you want to highlight and contour! I recommend this to everybody so go out and get yours now! :)

Eyebrow Pictorial!

By: Mary Bradley

I get asked all the time how I fill in my eyebrows so I thought I'd do a pictorial! Ok so the first thing I do is take a eye brow brush to brush my eyebrow hair all in the same direction. Then I take a medium brown pencil to outline my eyebrows. Next I fill them in with a medium brown eyeshadow on a small flat brush to make my eyebrows fuller. Then I take the same eyebrow brush from earlier and brush my eyebrows one more time to make them appear more natural. Last but not least I clean them up with concealer on a small angled brush and there you go!
