I think one of the things I like about it is that is isn't super-pigmented so you can build it up slowly; it doesn't look weird when you build it up because they particles are still very small/smooth which is why it blends so well.
I started out with a camera that cost around $140. Nowadays there are great quality webcams- and good lighting is almost more important than the camera. Keep in mind I've done this for 5 years and this is my job so I've put money back into it via the camera, my computer, lighting. I used to see other gurus using fancy equipment and think I'd never be able to get it, but with time and hard work- I was able to upgrade ^_^
That trick where you looked up to find where your kid ends is genius. The look is gorgeous, as are you. I'm always impressed by your skill and talent. Keep rockin' girl.
Hi, I've only just started getting into your videos but I wanted to say how much I truly appreciate their existence. I'm a 25 year old that is only just now starting to get into what make-up can do for me. (It's a rather long explanation with plenty of trauma and ickiness so i'll leave that out.) I just absolutely love your tutorials and how easy you make everything. You really have helped give me the confidence to do this. Thank you so much!!!
I'm sorry if you feel some sort of disconnect- I know my Walmart Haul was a bit off because I had a horrible headache, and yes, making a negative review isn't fun. I want for my tutorials and fashion videos to be semi-pro, polished but not corporate if that makes sense. I want my reviews and my vlog channel to be much more laid-back.
I've definitely want to have more professional videos, but I don't want them to be impersonal. I don't think mentioning creasing is somehow impersonal: I get a lot of questions from newbies about what that term means. When I do a voice-over it allows me to film when my neighborhood is noisy ( I live in a city of a half-million people so...most of the time). It allows me to think more clearly about tips & tricks......
It took me two days to fully get through this video (stupid life!) and as always it was so worth it. I've been a subscriber to your channel for a couple of years now and I click on the other vids that come up in my subscription box just because but they are always just the same old same old. I ALWAYS learn some cool new trick from you even after all this time, thank you so much and thanks for inspiring me with your creations and brilliant techniques, you are unlike any other.
Truly gorgeous! These are my favs for eye colors too, they work wonders on hazel eyes! Today I tried something I knew would work because of peacocks :D A deepish green then a thinner shimmery purple eyeliner pairing, looks so purrty! Except for the Mac, thanks for sticking with cruelty free, it looks so much better ;) I ❤ this look, keep bringing 'em girl!
Her eyes are so bright and amazing because of special eye drops that make your irises super bright and detailed. She has a video about it :) You probably know that but...
I thought I was seeing EPJ Starry nights...I love EPJ own many many piece's. Any how totally dig your style, also being a purple freak myself.. Amazing video's girl you are totally one of my faves, just straight up you and genuine love it keep up the great work!! #EPJ ADDICT
Not gonna lie, haven't truly watched one of you tutorials in a while and I LOVE THIS ONE! I mean they're all super fun but this is one that I might even be able to pull off at work. I love purple but I'm still working on getting the hang of the smoky eye, I still am at the stage where sometimes it just looks like I got punched in the eye. Having tutorials liek this is great because you were really thorough I might just give it a go! Also, I think I need to go buy Wedge now. lol
P.S. Thanks for always inspiring me to push myself in terms of makeup. I mean, I love me a neutral eye for everyday....the Naked palettes have been my go to thing, but I love color and you help me incorporate that. Thanks!!!!

I added additional information to clear anything up- I realized that you may have thought the Saucebox palette was an affiliate link which it is not.
hahah! Wait till next week, I'm doing a VERY SPECIAL lookbook I think you'll like

I love them for that too- Sugarpill is such a special brand!
That trick where you looked up to find where your kid ends is genius.
The look is gorgeous, as are you. I'm always impressed by your skill and talent. Keep rockin' girl.
if I could i would dye my hair purple like that!! I love it!
I love this look, it's perfection. It's such a nice balance between being bold, yet very wearable.
Thank you! I get such a mixed bag of comments, but this is one of my fave looks ever, so I'm glad someone got a kick out of it ^_^

YAY!
I love the combination of purple on the eyes with peachy cheeks and lips!

I always love the colors you use in your tutorials. Shadow, lip color, etc - it always looks SO nice!
Absolutely love your dark smokey looks. I've been loving dark purple eyes lately and this is beautiful..
