JENNIFER LOPEZ - ON THE FLOOR - INSPIRED MAKEUP

jennifer Lopez inspired makeup with a HUGE emphasis on blending.

This video is about blending only. Its not so much about the finished product - but how we got there.

Truth is purple is my favourite colour. I love it. I hate pissing around with more than 3 colours on the eye i really do. With good blending techniques two colours (and a liner) are plenty. Blending can turn a bright purple (example) into any shade of violet when paired with a lighter colour (bisque).

The MAC 217 brush is ideal and along with MAC 226 brush one my favourites. I prefer the MAC 217 brush for blending because the shape of it will fit most eyes. Using brush guards will prolong the life and shape of your brush and bristles.

Sigma do a version of the MAC 217 brush but its not one of my favourite brushes. I find the shape doesn't run evenly - meaning one brush may look different from another and i find the quality scratchy. However i know that many people love this brush - so its worth checking it out - as you never know.

Crown also do one that is cheaper but the same comments above apply.

As you'll see going along, i am using only the lightest touch. For a less dramatic look only apply the colour on the eyelid (dark colour) and blend. This will bring it up onto the crease and will give a less dramatic look.

I cannot stress enough the importance of using a light touch. I mean really light touch. I know you see me man-handling Mandy (lol) but that is mainly for silliness. If you work with a makeup artist normally one of the things you'll first notice is how "soft" they are on the eyes when applying eyeshadow.

Bare in mind that any form of makeup artistry requires practice. Practice practice practice and in time you will get it.

Some are lucky and have it down pat right way - that was and never has been me! lol

I truly believe you can do so much with only a couple of colours. I have 100s but i only tend to use the same ones over and over again. What a waste!

My favourite brand of cosmetics (for eyeshadows) are Makeup Atelier Paris - because they offer amazing pigmentation and the price is great. There has been a recent price increase but the eyeshadow palettes remain the same i believe. Makeup Atelier do eyeshadow palettes, single eyeshadows and artistic eyeshadows. I recommend the palettes or singles most of all.

Experiment with colour. Textures. Shimmer. Matte. Velvet. See what works for you. Try adding more colours. 3.4.5 different colours. Whatever works. But once you learn how to blend the rest is easy.

Thank you for your time.
