    I’ve been wearing makeup for years, but your Masterclasses always help me. As an aside, for anyone wondering about purchasing MG brushes…I bought a MG crease brush and the exact same outer v brush in this video over 5 years ago. I use both of them every-single-day and they still work as well as they did the day I bought them!! Just an FYI for anyone needing great brushes at a reasonable price!! 👁 💜 🖌

    Thanks Marlena! The right brushes are essential for a great outcome. Don't skimp on brushes. But don't go into debt for them either. Do your research and read reviews. Some amazing affordable ones out there. I'm an artist and its the same in the studio, get good staples and your work will thank you for it. It makes the world of difference with the right tools. Your expensive MU (or any) won't look half as good if its poorly applied. I really got into MU about 5-6 years ago and one thing that changed it all was getting to know and use the proper tools. I was caught up in 'oh that foundation (or eye palette or whatever) doesn't work, I'll go buy something else' to finding out the hard and expensive way that it was the crappy few tools I had.

Ever so grateful I saw you on Netflix, my eyeshadow disasters will now be something from the past. The brushes is the crucial part. Now I know what to look for when buying brushes next and won't be wasting money on the wrong brushes ever again. Thank you so much. Excellent. I'm an INSTANT FAN.
