All About My Makeup Brushes



A friend of mine (hi Angela!) asked me to film a video talking about my favorite makeup brushes and what I use them for. This is a very long video (sorry!), but I wanted to be as thorough as possible. Please excuse some of my rambling - I tried to keep it as clear and as organized as possible :)

If any of you have a recommendation for a great blush brush (for a smaller face like mine) - let me know! I would love to replace the artistry one I am using.

Here is the video:

Aveda Makeup Tutorial

Let's take a moment and marvel at the beauty of this company: Aveda.
It was the first of its kind to demand natural and organic products that would be safe to use - WHILE honoring the environment and supporting indigenous tribes across the world at the same time.

Isn't that amazing? I think so. To read more about Aveda's mission and what this company stands for go here: http://www.aveda.com/discover/index.tmpl.


It's so cool to work for a company that stands for this.

Okay...

Now back to business ;)




I wanted to create a makeup tutorial for this brand to refer the customers I meet who have no idea how to do their makeup. I thought it would be great to tell them to visit Aveda's own YouTube channel as well as mention this one that I've created for them.

So, without further adieu, let's get to the video shall we?!
