*gasps* She talks! LOL!!!! Gotta five star this vid b/c Im always wondering how you ladies put these colors together so beautifully

[AmourInfinity]

I am often trying to find colors that look good on me Em because colors that look beautiful in the package don't usually come out that shade on myself. I often have to settle for pigments because the color is more concentrated and it will show up better on my skin tone. I also find that I want to mix and match shades but the blending becomes so intense and i wonder if i'm doing it right or i have the right brush.

Thank you, Vanessa!

Bases can really help colors show up. I have to say that I've never regretted investing in colored bases for that very reason (although it still annoys me that I have to go through extra steps to get the color to show up on my skin like it looks in the pan).

As for the blending, you might try overlapping colors rather than using a brush to blend them. Sometimes that's easier.

Thanks for watching, Amoure!
