    So true!

    I watched all 4. I liked the flawless face the best as it showed how to apply the foundation, concealer, bronzer, and blush well. I don’t do the sultry smokey eye or cat’s eye although it was helpful to see how to get the slant tip brush in there to do the liner.
    Thanks.

    Fave touch-up tip: you get a crease in your eyeshadow, just use the brush to even it out. No need for more eyeshadow!

    I like the tip to get the inner corner of your eye when doing the Cat Eye, you have to look down and outwards.
