This year’s Makeup Show was epic! There were a lot of brand new companies, as well as more established companies launching their pro lines.  This time, I was most interested in the education part of the show.  There were some fantastic makeup artists in attendance giving of their knowledge and experiences.  There was a lot to learn but the one thing that I walked away with was,

“Don’t give up on yourself!” – Ashunta Sheriff

Check out some of the amazing stuff!

Anyway, here she has pointed liner, peachy-bronzey eyeshadow, peach lips, full brows and full lashes.
