JUST ADD WATER

Back in May, I attended the Makeup Show in NYC. One of the Events I experienced was a hands-on master workshop called Red Carpet Beauty, with celebrity makeup artist Joanna Schlip.
She revealed some secrets to long lasting makeup that will be flawless in photographs, video and in person. One of my most favorite techniques that she demonstrated was to ADD WATER to your eye shadows and apply it WET. Just like painting a watercolor....I LOVED THIS!
Starting with a wash of the darkest value first, then blending and adding colors creates a unique marble-like effect. After that dries and sets, add dry shadow in lighter values and blend, blend blend. This shadow will not smudge or budge until you're ready to take it off! WOW!
