Hello, everyone!
I’ve been playing with makeup for a long time – long enough to have forgotten where I learned some things. Of course, one of the things I do know is that we never stop learning, and that beauty trends are always changing, so there’s always something new to see or do.
Here is where I’m going to list some things that you might find helpful. These are YouTube videos and other online resources. I didn’t make these (obviously) but I’ve found them useful.
