DIY Make-up Tips: A New Mini-Series

Every time people discover I do my own make-up, I get the same look of disbelief – "is that even possible?" I hear them thinking.

It really is.

"Like, foundation, blush, eyeliner, lip pencils, concealer, lip gloss, eyebrow pencils, mascara, mineral make-up, kohl liners and pressed eye shadow?" They then ask (but not always in that order).

Yup.

It's fun, works just as well (if not better) than store-bought, and it's not even that difficult. Honest engine.

I started doing my own make-up a fair while ago. Through my many trials and (gazillions of) errors, I've learned a few things about DIY make-up. I've decided to share some of my best make-up making tips with you. These are going to be things I really wish someone had blogged about when I was starting out (read: back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and the 'it' color was pink).

My Mission is a Simple One

- to inspire you to try making your own make-up too

My Ulterior Motive

- to meet more make-up makers and share experiences

Whether you're a complete newbie, semi-practiced, or an old hand at making your own make-up, I hope you will find this upcoming mini-series of tips inspiring and useful.

And for it to be really useful, I will need something from you – your questions – all of them! Drop a comment below and I'll do my best to answer. 

(Come to think of it – isn't pink STILL the 'it' color?)
