by PattyJ January 31, 2011

In an attempt to keep myself busy, I’m always trying new things. Towards the end of 2010 I picked up make up application. Think Kim Kardashian. Yeah she probably doesn’t put on her own face, but imagine if you could achieve the same dramatic eye. The makeup application series is perfect for those who want to learn some great beginner tips for every day and for others who want the wow factor on their evenings out. Primer I thought I was prepared when I purchased my brushes, eye shadows and foundation. But I was missing a necessary component. Primer helps set a base for your foundation and eye shadows.
