Thank you so much for sharing. I have learned so much from your YouTube and blog. You're awesome!
awesome awesome awesome coverage! he had scheduled one of his workshops in dc then canceled =( i sooo want to go!
anyway, i love how he used the lighter foundation on high points and to conceal. when i'm in a rush, that's what i've learned to do then brush my powder and/or bronzer on the outer perimeter of my face.. cuts down on time! =p
Great post, I was waiting for this one. I saw myself in the video, that was hilarious it was such a great class.
