Here's another tuturial I found for women of color...

Makeup Geek Extraordinare

When I first starting perusing (did I spell that right?) YouTube, of course I looked for makeup stuff. This girl is one of the first I found and I've been hooked since. Check it out.

Creases are for your pants, not your eyeshadow...

My skin gets very oily, so I find that my eyeshadow creeps up to my eylid crease and turns into one line, making me look crazy. Does this happen to you??? I was using De-Crease by L'oreal, which works, but it's tinted a light color, so it made my lids look lighter. But Urban Decay now sells a product called "Eyeshadow Primer Potion" and IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS!!! It has a wand and what I do it put some on with the wand then rub it with my finger. Let it dry, then apply your shadow. It will stay put for HOURS, seriously! I mean, to the point where it's not so easy to take off at the end of the day. Anywho, let me know if you like it!

Length, Volume, Curl...pick your poison

Hello ladies. Mascaras are those things that I'm never loyal to. I don't have one brand that I stick with, the way I do shadows and everything else. But I may have found one that I'll let stick around. Maybelline's The Colossal Volume Express really adds volume to my lashes. It contains collagen, which acts as a "plumping" agent. I know many of you like Fiberwig, but I ain't got Fiberwig money right about now. So, this does the trick...if you try it, let me know what you think!

My First Blogspot Post

Hello fellow makeup whores! I'm a little hungover from last night's festivities, so I don't have my mind right to get deep into my absolute love for all things makeup, so for now I'm just going to wish you a Happy New Year, and I hope you have fun reading my blog!!!
