This is the third year in a row I’m wearing the exact same makeup on my birthday, so I thought it was time to share a tutorial on it!
And for reference, here’s how it looked last year (from this post):

VIDEO: Perfect Palette 2 Tag
I *loved* the original Perfect Palette tag (you can see my blog answers here), so I was really excited when Melissa and her daughter came out with a second version of the tag!
VIDEO: Tutorial: Matte Rainbow using Viseart
Alright! I’m figuring out this editing thing! I’ve got music, smoother transitions… and plenty of background noise for you to enjoy! (You can thank downtown Toronto for the constant sirens!) I’ve got a microphone I’ll be plugging in next time, in the meantime, please enjoy this neon rainbow look I came up with using the Viseart Editorial 08 Matte Brights palette!
Video: 2015 Makeup Favourites
My 2015 makeup favourites are now up on YouTube!
Things I still need to learn with this platform:
- lighting (holy heck, even with a ring light it’s too dark at night!)
- image focus
- condensing what I have to say!
- using a microphone… there’s way too many ambient sounds happening
Welcome to 2016!
I’m coming back to work today after having had a chunk of the holidays off and unfortunately I seem to have picked up some kind of cold/bug/flu thing on the way back to Toronto. (Womp womp.) So while I don’t have a new post for you today, here’s a roundup of my posts from the last two weeks:

Swatch Sunday: Too Faced – The little Black Book of Bronzers: Undecided which bronzer to get? Why don’t you try out a whole bunch of them?
In the last two weeks, I’ve managed to successfully pick up not only a new computer and a ring light (buh-bye money). I’m hoping the quality of my pictures will improve and be more consistent as I won’t be reliant on daylight for shooting photos. Additionally, my new desktop will let me edit videos with ease (I was doing it before on my ancient macbook pro since my old desktop’s audio had gone the way of the dodo about two years ago). Hooray for new toys! Happy New Year everyone. 🙂
