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.

I actually tried the smoky eyes; it was OK. It would be better with their tools instead of my old ones.

No videos.. I did learn to File nails in one direction from side to center to avoid weakening nails – leave the back-and-forth “sawing” to the lumberjacks.

I’m not a makeup guru, but I’d love these brushes to start me out. They’re eco-friendly, so I can’t resist.

I learned how to refresh eye shadow simply by reblending if there is a crease.

I like the smoky eyes tip.

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!

how to create a smokey eye

autumn398 @ yahoo.com

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.

Didn’t find any videos, but I did learn that for precise lining, keep the brush’s longer bristles toward the inside corner of the eye.

I learned that you can get a great touch up with just a couple of little compact brushes and a mirror!

I thought it was interesting that in the touch-up video, she used both bronzer and blush. Apparently I don’t know what I’m doing! I’d love to win these.

I like the smokey eye video. I have tried to do smokey eyes several times before and I just can’t seem to get it right. Hopefully this will help.

In the Flawless Face video, I liked the tip about smiling when you apply blusher so that you get the color on the “apples of your cheeks.”

I learned from the flawless face video that you need to create some natural dimension. I always thought natural was the way to go but sometimes we need to help it along!

I thought it was a really cool tip to apply foundation first, and then go back and see what needs concealer. I’ve always done it the opposite way!

the video on a flawless face gave a great tip that I’ve never heard before:
add concealer to the facial blemishes AFTER the foundation is on as opposed to BEFORE. great! can’t wait to try it.

I liked the Smoky Eye video. I’ll be trying that if I get the right brushes.

I like the tip on applying blush brushing in outward circles

OOOh the Smokey Eye. Now I have some direction and Maybe smokey eyes.

108

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!
