What are your tips & tricks for washing brushes?

What are your tips & tricks for washing brushes?

I find it helpful to establish a routine to wash to begin with, e.g. every Sunday. Then it becomes a regular chore and doesn’t get put off until I’m out of brushes! I recommend using a gentler soap for natural hair (avoid alcohol-based cleansers as much as possible, which does dry out brushes...

What are your tips & tricks for dealing with eyeshadow fallout?

What are your tips & tricks for dealing with eyeshadow fallout?

The most obvious is just to… let it happen and wipe away the mess, THEN apply base products. For me, this is the way I tend to go about it since it’s easy, effective, and doesn’t waste loose powder or anything like that. But for a lil’ fallout here and there, you can gently diffuse away with...

Tinted Moisturizers

I don’t find I wear them often, mostly because it is a product I’d wear if I was going to be outdoors but still wanted some coverage but I’ll opt for more traditional liquid foundation if I want a base product.

What are your tips & tricks for blending out eyeshadow?

Whenever I’m working with more than a few colors (which is basically always, let’s be real!), I’ve found that the three biggest takeaways are: cleaner brushes (sometimes just a clean brush solely to diffuse colors together is absolutely necessary), building up more slowly for deeper shades (or...

What are your tips & tricks for applying eyeliner evenly?

I think a lot of it is in finding the type of formula that works for your needs and application skills/techniques. If you’re someone who has a very sure hand, a more fluid, one-stroke kind of product might be most suitable, but someone who has shakier hands, something that functions well for...

What are your tips & tricks for long-wearing lip color?

What are your tips & tricks for long-wearing lip color?

It’s in the prep and set-up, for sure! One of the easiest ways to get longer-lasting color is to apply a lip liner underneath the lipstick or gloss, which acts as both a primer as well as the last line of defense in actual color.
