I signed up for a free class a month ago cause spots get "sold out" on Eventbrite quick.The class is about smoky eyes and that's the current trend,I wanted to go mainly to learn how to work with different skin tones and what eye shadow to use to complement someone's eyes.The number one thing is discounts on products and if you attend classes you get a good deal on products.Right now I'm working on getting discounts on MUD products so I can have more in my kit.My trip to the class was long and tiring,I left my place enough time and I know I should have been there before 12:30pm the time class starts,then I got caught in bad traffic and I didn't make it till 1pm,I had to ask the store to reconsider since I drove really far and the instructor was a sweet heart THANK GOD!I know God wanted me to go so I can follow my dreams.I enjoyed the class and I learned new tips,after the lunch break we did makeup on our self and the instructor gave us guidance.I didn't need much guidance and I asked few questions,should i use sliver as a highlight under my eye brows and does the deep brown corrector help with ache scars.The instructor knew I had knowledge in make up and the current trends such as gold and silver is used on runways right now,I had no idea it was used on runways I just knew silver and gold go well together.I made a nice impression on the class and instructor it was assurance that I should keep going for what I want and I take it seriously.I proved that just driving almost 3 hours to get to a class with traffic from hell. On the way home traffic is worst,I don't know how people can live in LA and the roads are confusing if you don't travel to LA often. What's in my makeup kit?I don't have anything to share in my purse,I have more in my makeup kit. I brought the deep brown corrector and the product is made for dark skin tones.The product even out your skin tone cause there are areas that are darker than the rest of your face.I have ache scars that annoy me and it covered it up.I had to add it to my makeup kit in case I have dark skin tones with the same problem.It comes with directions and I posted a video below to show you how its used.You only need a little bit and it will last a while. The other stuff I received with my purchase.I got a coupon with additional 40% off and 10 % off of MUD approved items.I got 30% off just doing the class I paid 12 bucks instead of 20 bucks. This is not a music video is usually post but here is how to use the deep brown corrector. There's no "ELF" I'm doing a product review that people been raving about.I decided to give ELF another chance and if you read my previous blog about me doing a review on cheaper makeup.My favorite YouTube channels use ELF products and they might have some awesome stuff.I was at Target yesterday buying baking supplies and I checked out the makeup section like I usually do.ELF had a section with gift sets with eye shadow pallets,eye liners,lip glosses,brushes,few other things.I brought the glitter eyes "gift set"and it was on sale,I paid 2 bucks instead of 3 bucks. On the packaging it said 4 piece and I was standing there thinking I see two pieces.I think they meant 3 eye shadow colors and the primer that came with it.I gone home and tried it out,the eye shadows didn't come with an eye shadow applicator,the directions say to use finger tips or a brush to apply the eye shadow.You guys know how much I HATE CLEANING BRUSHES,I used my finger tip to apply the eye shadow dry along with the primer,on the other eye I applied the eye shadow wet with a q-tip.The primer is sheer and any skin tone can use it,it have a wand applicator and I like to buy primer that comes in the tube.If you are down to the last bit of primer you can cut the tip and scrap it out.With the wand you will waist a little primer cause you can't get to it.It's nice having extra primer anyways,why not........The directions said to apply it wet for intense color and there was nothing intense about it.It looked OK dry and i'm not in love with the product.The packaging is cheap looking and if you see the patterns the eye shadow pallets have it with colors all over the place.If you want to give someone a gift set make sure you peel off the price sticker or it will say "MERRY CHRISTMAS! I SPENT 3 BUCKS ON YOU!"If you go to different stores with ELF products they are always under 3 dollar no matter what it is.Since I'm not in love with their products I'll try out the brushes since a set is a good price,If you want MAC,Sephora, and MUD Cosmetics brushes you will pay over 100 bucks for half a set and for a full it can range up to 300 bucks. That's my review on ELF and I think ELF work better for people with lighter skin tones cause I tried some other products out and didn't like it. I don't have anything from my purse to share with you.I just got disposable mascara wands in the mail and its important to have if you want to do makeup on other people for sanitary purposes. I brought it on Ebay for 1.00 and it comes with 100 mascara wands,thats a good deal usually stores sell them for 3.00.

Every time I go out I get asked all the time what brand I use,most of the time I'll say I'm wearing different brands on my face did you want to know the eye shadow,face powder,lip stick? Everyone assume the brand I use is MAC due to me being a makeup junkie and pursuing dream of being a makeup artist.I do use MAC and I don't buy it anymore due to my belief.I found out MAC is not cruelty free anymore and Estee Lauder(aka Estee Slaughter) is well known for animal testing brought out MAC I don't know how long ago.I'm not vegan or anything I don't like the idea of animals getting tortured and i'm the kill for food type of person.MAC is great and there are other good brands out there that doesn't get as much hype MAC does.I buy NYX Cosmetics and its cruelty free the products are awesome for a very reasonable price anyone can afford.They have similar colors to MAC and other "high end" makeup brands.The reason why I fell in love with NYX Cosmetics cause they have the matte black eye shadow that I've been looking for all my life.I love REALLY black eye shadows and I thought MAC pro is the only one that will have it.If I couldn't get my black eye shadow as dark as I want I'll grab a Kohl pencil use it as a base and put my eye shadow on top of it.If you have dark skin most black eye shadows show up smoky or natural when you want something intense.MAC's Beauty Marked shows up as shimmery black on me and lighter skin tones it shows up as a pretty dark purple with black under tone with sparkle.I read a blog a while back about cosmetic brands going to the same company in Europe to make the makeup and slap their label on it.If you see Urban Decay,Sephora, NYX Cosmetics and few other brands have SIMILAR COLORS AND SIMILAR ITEMS.If you are a makeup junkie you had the idea things are same and you are paying for the name.I had a suspicion a few brands copy each other and once I read the blog i said " I knew it!"I love Kat Von D and few of her colors I can get cheaper buying the Sephora brand or NYX ( 24.00 cheaper). I didn't mind paying for Kat Von D name cause i'm a fan and I love her tinted lip gloss Underage Red,not all brands have the same color as Underage Red it was worth the money I paid.After reading this you probably will look at makeup differently,once I start doing makeup I'm sure Ill shock a lot of clients of what brands i'm using on them and it turns out good and long lasting.I use some of the Wet N Wild brands and when I tell people I wear it they are like really,yes you can pay under 5 bucks and still look good.My current favorite is the blush and lip gloss.If you go to those "high end" store compare your cheaper makeup you will see resemblance.I know you guys shop at Walmart and seen this brand E.L.F. for under 4 bucks at first I didn't like E.L.F. I tried their potted eyeliner cream or whatever,I didn't like it and I tried out their Highlighter Shimmering Whip the color is called Spotlight,it gave me this ashy look with shimmer.I would take a pic of it myself and it wouldn't show up well so I took the image off a site.I did my team mates makeup and put it on her and it look good on her,I'll keep it in my kit use and use it on lighter skin tones.I'll will try other E.L.F.products cause some of my favorite makeup junkies on YouTube uses the products.They have nice makeup brushes and for a whole set is 50 bucks and thats a deal.Most brands will charge over 100 bucks for a set.If you are on a budget look into E.L.F. you might love it.Also another brand sold at Walmart is Hard Candy and I brought their glitter eye liner"Walk the Line" sliver glitter,its my favorite glitter eye liner and it doesn't dry out.last a long time.The only NYX product i didn't like was their glitter eye liner if you leave it your makeup kit for a while its dried up and useless.I wouldn't buy glitter eye liners from NYX. Hard Candy eye shadows I was told you need a eye shadow primer or wet it to make the colors pop.The same thing with E.L.F. you might have to buy their primer to make the shadows come to life.Keep that in mind when you buy eye shadow primer works for everything no matter how much you pay.You can get eye shadow from 99 cent store and it will stay on your eyes.I use the eye shadow primer from Two Faced and I might try out the Urban Decay primer.Theonly thing I pay more money for is foundation and powders few other things.Not all brands will work for me in the face department and I have sensitive skin,I cant go out and pick up anything.The more you pay for foundation and powders the better it looks and longer it last.If Cover Girl and drug store stuff works well with your face and love it,thats awesome!There are some snobby people that will look down on you or think expensive makeup is always the best, if you don't spend the money to look beautiful. What's in my purse?I have lip pencil from MAC the color is Cherry and I had many uses for it.I use it when I did my war paint for roller derby or if i couldn't find red eye shadow I'll use it on my eyes.I wear it with my Kat Von D Underage Red tinted lip gloss. One of my favorite Avon products Extra Lasting eye shadow "Terra Cotta" and its a nude/neutral color on my skin tone and I use it if i'm going some where after work when I need something quick to put on.If you want to try it out be careful when you open it or you will wear it on your shirt.The eye shadow last for a long time.With Avon the brand is a hit and miss with me.I would buy more and try out other eye shadows.If you want to buy it my older sister sells Avon and that is why I buy it.Avon improved over the years and I'm fan of their Mark line too.Contact my sister on facebook Hair and Makeup by Tanika and tell her I sent you. The Video is Sleeping with Sirens "if I'm James Dean,then youre audrey hepburn IS CLEANING BRUSHES!*screams*.Playing in makeup is fun and all,the cleaning the brushes I dread especially if i try to get gel eyeliner out of brushes.if you dont have much money to spend like me, I contacted a few makeup junkies and artist the cheapest way to clean brushes without spending money to keep buying makeup brush cleaner.what stood out to me is baby shampoo or shampoo hair salons use.I brought a bottle of daily brush clear from Sephora about 6 months ago for 6 bucks its a smaller bottle the larger one was over 10 bucks,the brush cleaner is good to have if you are going to work in high volume and quick cleanup . Of course i go the dollar tree for baby shampoo to clean my brushes. OH NO!Oh F**K!S**T!I screwed up!Don't worry Makeup For Ever's mist and fix will save the day.if you get fall out from eyeshadow or screw up the cat eye,it happens. Grab a clean brush or q-tip and spray the brush your error will be erased.They sell it at Sephora for 6 bucks and i got the smaller bottle. Makeup For Ever is not cheap and its similar to MAC,you have extra cash to drop buy it.I try to go for Sephora brands or NYX cosmetics if its available. What's in my purse?I love Avon's Always on Point eyeliner in black and i have another one in black/brown,i keep in makeup kit.Its a cool eyeliner and the name say it all,you close the cap and if you need more twist the cap until you hear *click click* and theres more eyeliner. I got into Avon because my older sister Tanika sells it and Avon improved on the makeup.if you want to buy Avon contact Hair and Makeup by Tanika on her Facebook page,she will order it. The video is Vitamin C "Smile" This year I decided to go forward with my dream of doing makeup and if you read my blog "Beauty Queen" it give you an insight on why I want to do this.When I was in high school I volunteer to do makeup for a play and I didn't do a bad job.I used the makeup that is provided and some I brought from home,I even brought my own brushes.Since then I've been doing makeup for my friends sporadically for fun and recently I was asked to do makeup for my team mate for our league awards.I play roller derby and I'll get to that later.In January(next month) I'll be working on clients and when working on clients sanitation is important. Due to be on a budget I picked up a few times every paycheck to build my kit, from advice to spending time watching YouTube videos.I checked out my local "discount"stores to buy cleaning and sanitation products,if you can't find it there is Walmart.The products you see in the photo I brought recently except for cosmetic sponges.The spray bottle,rubbing alcohol,q-tips,zip lock bag is from Dollar Tree.I use the spray bottle to clean my brushes and few cosmetic items,the alcohol is to sanitize eyeliner,lip liner,and more items.It depends on what kind of eye and lip pencil you have,I grab the spray bottle with alcohol and spray the pencils,i wipe it with a paper towel and sharpen the pencil.I was told to just sharpen away the "germs" and I like to clean with alcohol to assure my items are clean.Q-tips have a billion uses and its always good to have them in your kit. I use the plastic bag to hold items,to dispose and a place to put dirty makeup brushes.When i have one person for the day I just throw whatever need to be cleaned in the bag and wash them when I get home.If I ever work with more than one person,I prefer to work with three people threw out the day right now so I can take my time on the make up.The spray bottle will come in handy if I need to do a quick clean up.Be careful with spray bottles make sure its tight before you throw it in your makeup bag,if the bottle is not good just put it in zip lock bag so it doesn't spill.Cosmetic sponges are easy to find and you can get a bunch for 2 to 5 bucks depending on quantity.When Halloween is near I'll check out my local store and pick up stuff,Halloween stores are a place to go if you need applicators,brushes,cosmetic sponges for a lower price.If you are an online shopper use your favorite search engine to find lower priced stuff.I'm an Ebay shopper and I'll buy stuff in bulk if the seller offers a better deal. I don't like to carry a lot of stuff and having pallets make is easier for me to carry around.When working with customers you need every color you can get,I was on Ebay and I saw a pallet for 120 colors cheaper than Coastal Scents,ill try out Coastal Scents one day.I tried it out and I liked it before using it on my first customer.The pallet have matte and shimmer colors to play with,the con about the pallet some of the colors are not easy to blend and if you are not good at blending the pallet is not for you.I was told Coastal Scents and BH is easy to blend.The other con if you are a darker completion not all of the colors are going to work for you.I tried out the pinks and it didn't show up on my skin,the black is not dark to my liking.I'll stick to using NYX Cosmetics Black matte eye shadow.The only pink eye shadow that yells i am pink on my eyes, MAC Pink Venus.I gave the eye shadow away to a friend cause I didn't use it much.I'm the type of person that like to match the eye shadow with the outfit i'm wearing,I put on purple outfit you will see purple.The only time I wont match if i'm going to a formal and I don't want to take away from the dress.If I really want to match my eye shadow with my dress i just add it inner corner or crease depending on look I am going for.Threw out the blog I'll share whats in my makeup kit. What's in my purse: It's obvious I love Sephora's matte foundation powder,I'm a powder person and not a huge fan of liquid and creme foundation.I keep this in my purse in case I have some where to go after work.I don't wear makeup to work since i'm in a warehouse all day and on the track for roller derby.I do wear makeup if i'm at a roller derby convention or event to show case my makeup skills. The Video is Bullet For My Valentine "Tears Don't Fall" I have a blogger page as well if you want to check it out,ill link my blogger page or ill go on my blogger page and link back to this site.
http://beautyqueenonwheels88.blogspot.com/ I don't know how I came up with the name "Beauty Queen",it came to me. My idea of a beauty queen is different from society standards,to me a beauty queen mean a lot of things, you can be a makeup artist who love being around makeup, a hairstylist, someone who feels beautiful.You can make the term beauty queen your own..I came from a family full beauty queens and my ability to do makeup is part of my genetics,its a gift from God.I learned growing up not everyone have the ability to do makeup and I was told I should add makeup to my career. I wanted to use my gift to help other people do makeup and if i can make someone feel beautiful my day is fulfilled.Next month in January I'm going to ring in the year and pursue my dreams to do make up a job. I'm doing trade work right now, if you are a photographer, model, someone that want their makeup done. All I ask in return is photos to use build my resume and the photos will posted on social media. The quote i'm currently in love with and from one of my favorite guitarist," Follow your heart and chase your dreams until you catch them,negative people who say you can't do something are only speaking for themselves. - Jake Pitts Guitarist from Black Veil Brides The video i posted is my satellite beneath the fall. |
