Tips that work: Curled lashes that last all day!

I've tried this technique (video below) many times-  my lashes were AMAZI N GLY  longer & the curls actually STAYED UP after many hours! I'm so in love with this technique, it' s life changing for someone with short and sparse lashes like mine that NEVER curled. I gave up mascara before because there was no point in putting them on if they will flake down in 5 seconds. They have  never been this lifted, long, or stay up past half an hour! I'm in love =) What you need to do: 1. Watch this video that showed me how to curled my lashes! (Thank you gossmakeupartist!) Remember to 1. Curl your lashes for a good amount of time, (9~10 seconds)-  hold the eyelash curler down the curls in place 2. First coat of mascara should be light coat 3. Let lashes completely dry before curling your lashes a 2nd time 4. Apply 2nd coat (use spooley to spread out the lashes and keep them from clumping) 2. Products used (My eyelash pad somehow go...

A different kind of stupid

I came home from work and it will my daily habit to head to Seth Godin's blog. Other jobs require a different sort of hard work: the guts to be wrong, a confrontation with the risk of being stupid. [full post below] Confronting stupid Some gigs are process oriented: Set up a process correctly and the rest takes care of itself. It's challenging and frightening to get it right, but after that, you merely have to do the hard work of showing up each day. Do the work and you'll get the results. Other jobs require a different sort of hard work: the guts to be wrong, a confrontation with the risk of being stupid. The comedian who fears that each new joke might fail, the writer who has to say something new, the leader who must improvise, solving new problems on a regular basis. What makes this work hard is that it might not work. More and more people now have jobs that require them to confront the risk of appearing stupid on a regular basis.

Lost in your eyes (photographs)

I had  stumbled upon a Vietnamese showbiz website and found these beautiful images of popular Asian stars and I wanted to share them with you.  I still never understand why "Asian" females were or are considered exotic beauties, but this beautiful Chinese actress,  Triệu Tá»­ Kỳ, is so gorgeous! With her hair pulled back, defined brows, red lips, and monotone dress, you can loose yourself in her eyes forever. I don't have many chances to see  many Asian fashion/makeup magazines/images and so it's good to be out of the box.

I am determined, very determined to be a great makeup artist, within the next 5 years. 6 +1 reasons why I love playing and experimenting with makeup:  Makeup is very therapeutic, a therapeutic friendship. Every woman/girl will experiment with such beauty products because who doesn't want to help themselves look more beautiful. Therefore a great industry to be in, it's beneficial for myself to learn to look my best when I want to. Makeup= art. I can't really draw nor paint, therefore, makeup is an extension of that artistic expression I am very bad at it thus far. Over one year and yet I haven't been able to do much= personal challenge I really want to put my words into action & use products from Beyoumakeupshop to do what I intend them to for my customers.  I not only want to sell the products, I want to offer the experiences, the emotions of that red lip, or those dark smoky eyes to people who were like myself. I want to sell the magic ju...
