Sultry Valentine's Day Makeup Tutorial

Hey everyone!

I've been waiting to do a matte red lip in a tutorial so I've incorporated it in my new video for Valentine's day! I did this look on a model recently and she gave me the idea of doing a tutorial on it. Check out my valentine's day makeup video and the instructions to achieve this look:



Products used:
Eyes: MAC Parfait Amour, Carbon, Fig, Nylon eye shadows; Makeup Forever Black Aqua Liner, #600 false lashes 
Lips: MAC Current and Brick lip liners; MAC Ruby Woo

MiMi's Favorite Things: WonderBrow Gel

I ran across this product in a salon and tested it out on myself and fell in love! They are brow gels, manufactured by a private label manufacturer called Colorlab, that can match just about any brow tint. It tints the brow and keeps the hairs in place! I apply it with a small angled brush and the results are so great! I personally have beein using the "Halle" gel. Check out a new eye brow tutorial video I made where I'm using this product.

Brow Beat: How To Fill In Brows

Hey everyone, I've been asked a few times about how to fill in brows while letting them look more natural. Well I did a video on how I fill in my brows. In this video I used the following:
1) Maybelline Brow Definer in medium brown
2) Concealer brush (or you can use angled brow brush)
3) MAC concealer in NC42 (use whatever shade concealer that you use under your eyes)

Check out the video and let me know what you think!
