I will check these out! Thanks for the recommendations!

oh! like a pore extractor? I'm going to try that! Thanks!

Thank you! There is some awesome stuff on there!

I struggled with the shape of the flower as well. I used highly pigmented creme base and it was NOT forgiving at all. Your color is more accurate than mine was and your brow shape is spot on. :) I need to retry some of these challenges, which one are you going to try next?

My new favorite product is Tatcha - Silk Canvas The original formula is great for combination to dry skin. This primer blurs, smooths, and massively increases the longevity of the makeup. It creates a nice little barrier that keeps the makeup on the skin and out of the pores. There is also a liquid version that is oil free and amazing for combination to oily skin. I love this product for beauty applications.

Thanks! Great idea! *immediately goes to Starbucks*

Ben Nye creams are how I started getting into makeup, and they are extremely versatile. I always recommend “warming” the product by rolling it around with a spatula first, to soften it. when I blend them, I either use a closed cell sponge (those little beauty triangles) or a round sponge with fast tapping motions. If you sweep, it smears the product, whereas if you tap the product it disperses it better. when using a good foundation brush, sweeping and circular motions are better. (At least in my opinion) After it is blended, always set it with powder. I hope that helps. 😁

I recently discovered using a lemon zester when sculpting. It’s great for shaving away clay and evening symmetry before smoothing things out.
