I liked how she put the foundation on with a brush. I have never seen anyone do that. And she went back in with concealer afterward.

Sharon says
I learned that to create a flawless complexion you need to think about three things–an even complexion, creating some natural dimension, and giving yourself a sun-kissed glow. To achieve this you need four products–concealer, foundation, bronzer, and blush.

I checked out the cat eye video because I absolutely love the look of that! I found it helpful that she suggested looking down and out when lining the inner corner of your eye. I always had a hard time getting that area straight so I think this tip will help!

I thought she had several great tips in the smokey eye video, namely about how it’s about making a gradient of color, starting darker and moving to lighter. Also, she talked about how you could use a different color, not just black- grey, copper, and navy can also look nice.

Bonnie C. says
I enjoyed the Smokey Eye video, because it’s a look I am still trying to successfully accomplish. 🙂 I was happy to learn that I can use a brush to smudge the liner out, because usually I try a sponge or q-tip and typically the product wipes away too much (plus it’s a pain finding either of those items in the middle of make up application). 🙂
Thanks for having this giveaway and for giving me the chance to enter! 🙂
