TAGG: "Before I Knew Makeup"

This tagg is from the beautiful Wifezillahekela . I thought it would be fun to show some of my throwback pix.






Oh lawd!! These pix are at least 5-6yrs ago. Plz excuse the booby buttcrack in pic #2. Back in the day I was too scared to experiment with color and stuck to a neutral eye. And oh lawd my hair in pic #3!!! Yah..can we say hoodrat??? That was back in the day when dying my hair was a constant in my life. Bleach used to be my BFF. Obviously I NEVER got it right! I actually like the last pic...despite my powder was like 2-3 shades too light?!? LOL!! Liquid e/l has always been my go-to. Palladio's liquid e/l in black used to be my HG product. I used to line top & bottom lash line with my liquid liner. Bare Escentuals original foundation kit was all I knew. Any Maybelline waterproof mascara was always and still is my HG mascara. I didn't own blush till I was already in college. Always wore a lip liner a shade or 2 darker than my actual lipstick. I wish I had my freshman/sophomore yrs of high school pix. Then ya'll could see how I tried to pull off the raisin or mocha colored l/s. LOL! In a bad way...not GOOD!!

[[TODAY]]






Like I said with my 1st post, I'm no beauty expert or a makeup artist. But...I think my application techniques have evolved. I'm more adventurous and comfortable using color. I learned about blending and application techniques from watching QVC & HSN. LOL! From then on I've been experimenting and expanding my makeup collection. I'm so glad to have discovered/learn about primers & bases for eyeshadow. Makeup has become trial & error. I'm in LOVE with NYX and wet-and-wild!!! Addicted to beautylish & YouTube now. I'm not expecting to turn my makeup love into a career, but I am having fun experimenting.
