His name is Petrilude.
I did use some of the stuff that he talks about as far as powders and concealers are concerned.

I loooove Petrilude. I've been subscribed to him for a couple months. The man can do some makeup, even better than some women I've seen. His special effects stuff is amazing as well. Its so interesting looking at his process from start to finish.

I LOOOOOOOVE Petrilude..he's so cute AND he seems like the nicest. SUPER talented. I remember when I first found his page I sent him a message like "DUDE you are shutting it DOWN!" LOL! Do yall remember his halloween series? He needs to be doing make up on movie sets!

He really does! Im still amazed looking at the one where it looks like half his face has been ripped off and his teeth are showing. Like seriously though, skill isnt even the word when it comes to him!

@brandi.... Very pretty, love the colors!

Hi Karyn...

I am not one to give advice..but check out YouTube and you will find a wealth of videos with instruction on how to apply make-up using your brushes. I've included a Guide to Make-up Brushes video by makeupgeek. This video answered a lot of my questions...this is a start hope it helps!!!

i attempted to apply eyeshadow (WITH BRUSHES lol) yesterday and think it turned out okay, but for now, i'm sticking to neutrals cause i don't wanna get too crazy right now lol

Gorgeous! What palette did you use or is a custom palette?

I got to stay out of here!! Yall trying to turn me into a MJ!! Make-up junkie!! I believe it is working!!

Because of my scarring, freckles and never really wanting to wear make-up- I am noticing, I am more of a neutral girl. Today's color is lilac- the pigmentation of the eye shadow isnt that great, but oh well. Hopefully, I get my 88 color palette by Friday!!!

One day when I get bold, I will post a before and after..I got DARK lips so they are now easier to cover-now that i got some tricks under my belt.

Looks good Nyla! I just left ebay. I'm really contemplating getting an 88 or 120 palette! And some new eye makeup brushes!

See, this is what happens when you're snowed it for 3 days! Well, 4 now that they cancelled school tomorrow

Femme. I used a 120 MAC Pallet. I got it from a MAC distributor that sells discontinued products. BHCosmetics also has a similar pallet, and it is much cheaper!

Thank you Jamaica! I am snowed in too!!! UGHHH


Let me ask a question if I may- I have noticed that some cosmetics contain parabens, is that harmful too? I was reading the ingredients from a cosmetics line and noticed several parabens.

I've noticed that a lot of cosmetics contain parabens also. There are only a few lines which do not contain them. There has been research that they can be harmful but I'm not sure to what extent but so far parabens are really the only preservative that cosmetic companies are using in their products.

heeeey laydeez!! yall are lookin oh so good and nyla...stop bein scared talkin bout some dmn neutral...cut it ouut!!! u got the basics down pack and ur skin is gooorgeous so splash on some color...go on...if knh can rock some pink lips at 60 u aint got NO excuse

ooooh brandi, im so tired of complementing yo eyes but i cant stop studyin them! to do the 3 shades im guessin to pack on the color wit the sponge and use LESS blending right??? i need to venture off and be more daring. i also love that jamaican look (2nd one).

im in transition wit my job movin so i gotta play catch up n get me a computer for HOME **sigh** standby n work wit me, til then i'll be lurkin yall styles and just bombard yall wit pics when im back up n running!!

WOW..ladies y'all are really looking good over here.

I bought some Make-up Forever foundation and concealer last week. Well I took both back. The foundation really looked chalky at the end of the day...and I liked the sampler concealer that they gave me better. So I returned the foundation and exchanged the concealer.

Tip..(not new think Chrs mentioned this) I am putting my foundation on with my fingers!! I've found that I'm getting better coverage and I used my MAC 140 foundation. I know I keep going back and forth with this foundation thing.

I did get some goodies from MAC yesterday. I was watching lilpumpkinpie05's video "My Favorite Lipsitcks" and I had my list of lipsticks to buy, but I only bought the following

cork lip liner
Gel lipstick
Lipglass lip gloss in clear

Is there such a thing as a bad make-up day? Well every since I wash my brushes I can't seem to get my eye shadows on right. **sigh** So that means NO pictures!!!
