the essence

I love make up. I come by it completely naturally - you only have to look at my mom, grandmother & even still my great grandmother to know that.

I've never been a very good artist but I love putting on make up because it's like my face is a canvas. (not to mention it helps me get rid of my dark circles and brightens my eyes!)

Speaking of my eyes, it took me long enough but, finally, two years ago, I started experimenting with more eyeshadow color. I used to basically stick to neutrals before - when I did dabble in color it was still very mild color. Until I bought one of those fabulous kits with somewhere around 30 different eye shadow colors - so much fun! Yes, my mom was quite excited about it, too.

BH cosmetics offers lots and lots of variety of eyeshadows in highly pigmented color with strong staying power. You've got to check out all of their palettes - they offer 120 colors for less than thirty dollars! Can you say "fun?!" If I had one of their palettes I am sure it could help me branch out into even more color. I would still like to perfect the smoky eye, too!
