Video: Week in Review, Vol. 002

During the past few days, we focused on MAC’s collaboration with Carine Roitfeld as well as a permanent NARS blush and a new China Glaze polish. I was excited that one of the art prints I ordered arrived in time to hang in the background — it’s Wake of Herself by Agnes Cecile.  Subscribe to our video channel!

Once you’ve made the investment in brushes, take care of that investment by regularly washing and cleaning your brushes. Regular maintenance of your brushes will provide you with years of use, but it will also keep your makeup, brushes, and routine more sanitary. It is particularly important to regularly wash face brushes if you are acne-prone — it is best to do so after every use, especially with brushes that have been used in cream or liquids.

You can use any of the following:

• Brush Cleanser (by MAC or any other brand)
• MAC Cleanse-Off Oil (to remove stains)
• Baby Shampoo (by any brand)

Easy 5-Minute Neutral Eyes

Yesterday I posted this neutral look, and today, here’s the tutorial for it Super easy and quick — this is definitely a “go-to” look whenever I need something that looks nice when I’m running out of time.

Applying foundation with the 190 brush is one application method to use with liquid or cream foundation. It is not my personal favorite, but I thought I’d show you how based on a request by reader Roxanne.

Products Used

• MAC 190 Brush
• Make Up For Ever HD Foundation
• MAC Margin Blush
• MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder
• Water

Video Tutorial: MAC Love That Look – White, Pink, & Purple

SUPER easy look, promise! I tried to use a combination that had some color, but the result would still be natural/subtle so you could pair it with bolder lips. You can also pair this look with softer lips, too, if you are so inclined! You can get a full list of what I used in the original look post.
