Great find, new company

While at the makeup show, I have found a new line that is cruelty free, made in US, AND, great makeup as well!  It is Makeup Geek. I bought a whole bunch and will buy more.  Oh, and guess what?  It is inexpensive, as well.

sound studio

In case someone wants to know what a radio sound studio looks like.  I thought that this was a great image.

Concealers

Ok, so I have used a million different kinds over the years.  I still do have several different kinds that I  use.  Different concealers are for different things and different skin types.  But, I worked recently with another makeup artist who was using them as foundation on a job where the producer wanted only a little concealer so that the models would look natural.  He was using an inexpensive drug store brand and I was astonished and honestly a bit appalled.  Well, don't stick your nose up too fast!  I used it today and it was beautiful.  Hmmm, who knew.
Does anyone want to know what brand?

Colour

This is just my opinion.  I really dislike seeing blonde or light hair with dark eyebrows that don't match or even look like they are on the same person.  I know, I know, Lady Gaga and other very famous icons can get away with it.  In fact anyone can get away with it if it is done well and they are beautiful enough or famous enough.  But, I just personally don't like it.  Many of us spend lots of time and dollars trying to change the colour of our hair.  Usually we have it done by a professional so that it will look natural, then forget the brows that scream "I dyed my hair".  What do you think?
