Eyes that speak

Hello Again Beautiful People,

Vanessa Ferguson Kellman wearing MAC lipstick Naked Bud and QUO full lashes in glamorous 806

Eye products

I love that natural glamorous look I get when I wear eyelashes; my eyes make a statement, I have “Eyes that speak” loveliness.

Here are the products I use when I need “Eyes that speak”.

• QUO full lashes (Glamour 806), I also use Ardell lashes ( Demi 120) and others depending on the look I am going for.
• To attach my lashes, I use the DUO eyelash adhesive.  This is a superb glue, it dries clear a few moments after applying your lashes.

Here are a few tips for perfect full lash application. Apply a small amount of glue onto the strip of the full lash, adequately covering it from beginning to end. Wait a few seconds for the glue to become tacky (blow lightly on the glued lash), before applying the lashes to the base of your eyelids.

I finish up the look with either MAC’s Kohl eye pencil in Smoulder, MAC’s Fluidline in Black Track or L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Liquid Eyeliner in Carbon Black.

Hey gorgeous, just go for it! Eyes that are  glamorous, elegant, flirty or bold; however you do your thing, make certain you have “Eyes that speak.”

My 2 Face Primers

L’Oreal Face primer

SMASHBOX – Photo Finish Primer

As a Makeup Artist my primary goal is to achieve a smooth surface to apply my work of art. I use either smashbox Photo Finish face primer or L’Oreal Studio Secrets for the results.  Face primers are used under foundations to seal fine lines and to even out rough skin texture.

I like the texture of the smashbox primer, it is silky smooth. I use a pea size and apply it to my skin and it works magic in building a flawless face. L’Oreal Studio Secrets is an amazing perfecting base with a velvety creamy texture that goes on evenly. Only a small amount of cream is needed because it thickens and stiffens a bit if too much is applied all at once.

Face primers are great for the longevity of makeup and it gives you a fresh, smooth, clean finish.
