Makeup Tip-Oil Control

Oily? To control shine, try using MAC Oil Control Lotion. Pair this with a sheer blot powder and blotting papers. Apply in the T-Zone area of the face. ♥ Debra Johnson Makeup Artist Orange County, California Don’t forget to share, and comment!

Makeup Tip-Layer Mascara

Layer Mascara! Love your lengthening mascara, but it’s not waterproof? Try layering your mascaras! Start by using Plushblack from MAC. This is the ultimate mascara. It lengthens and plumps your lashes. Then use Splashproof Lash from MAC over the first coat. You then have full, luscious, and water protected lashes! ♥ Debra Johnson Makeup Artist Orange County, California Don’t forget to share, and comment!

Makeup Tip-Concealer

Apply concealer after foundation. This way, you conceal what the foundation has not. Remember to go with less under the eye. The heavier the under eye makeup, the more likely it is to crease. ♥ Debra Johnson Makeup Artist Orange County, California Don’t forget to share, and comment!

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

I find the Shu Uemura eyelash curler to be quite different from other brands. When trying it out I realized that it actually curls the lashes, instead of making a crease, resulting in what I call the “check mark” effect. With further investigation, I found that the perfect curl is created by the silicone mushroom shape pad and patented hinge that achieves the perfect amount of pressure on the lash. This eyelash curler is shaped with a curved angle, which is great for all eye shapes. The Shu Uemura eyelash curler is now a staple item in my makeup kit as well …
