Olive Smoke Tutorial

First, I wanted to apologize for my over use of the word 'simple' in my tutorials. I promise the next one wont have me mention it at all! haha.

This is a pretty good look for going out at night either to the bar or club. It's a little different then a traditional smokey eye, as it has color to it.
This is what the finished product looks like:



Below is the tutorial to follow if you would like to recreate this look, as well as a list of all of the products I used on myself. I reccomend viewing this on youtube, as you will be able to watch in HD!

How to Clean your Brushes

I just wanted to say I'm sooo sorry for being MIA for so long. As I mentioned in the video, it's my first year of university and I've been struggling to find time in my schedule to do ANYTHING, let alone make makeup tutorials! I'm finally settling into some sort of schedule, so I should have a little extra time here and there to do something. I'll try to be more frequent in posting videos!

This video focuses on two different methods you can use to clean your brushes. The first is deep cleansing, which is using a shampoo to thoroughly clean your brushes and leaving them to dry overnight. The second is spot cleaning, which is just using a spray brush cleanser to remove any makeup on the brushes as well as disinfect them. You would usually use this method in between makeup sessions.
As I also mentioned, there are many methods you can use to clean your brushes, and this is only one of them! Check out other videos on youtube to expand your understanding!
