Wake me up, then MAKE ME UP!

Wake me up, then MAKE ME UP!

Hello beauties! This is my very first makeup video. EEEEEEEK! I figured it was about time I get with it and do the damn thang! These days, with social media, it’s easy to show off your makeup skills, but let me tell you something- these videos can be intimidating! If you know me, than you know if there’s one thing in this world that I love most {other than my hubby and kiddos} it would be MAKEUP!  Althoooooough, Luke Bryan is a CLOSE second, but I digress. So annnnyways, the inspiration behind this video and its title is pretty simple. I woke up one day and was all like, “Jeeeeeez, why  C  A  N’  T   IIIIIII make my own makeup videos?”  So, that’s what I did.  I needed a WAKE ME UP, TO MAKE ME UP!

Sure, making videos seems easy and all, but, ehhhh, no. This MF video took me an hour to shoot, and nearly a week to edit, all for a video that is less than two minutes in length. Today’s clip features a time lapse transformation of my face, brows and lip, I wanted to keep it SHORT and sweet for my first video. I tried keepin’ it as real {yo} as possible for my viewers. I shot this in my home studio, on my iPhone, of course with the help of my SWEET ASS Glamcor Multimedia Lighting System! The video is as HD as it’s gonna get for now {until I figure out how to make it  a little better quality}, but I’m pretty satisfied. Of course, I am still a novice at video making, and yes, there is COMPLETE room for improvement, but ya’ gotta’ start somewhere!! Hell, I probably have gramtical errors in this post, but ya’ know what? IDGAF.  So here we go, here’s my very first makeup video! If you’re a hater, deuces and move on; but if you’re a lover….. well then, I can’t thank you enough for your support, taking your time to watch, and I simply ADORE YOU!!  Next weeks post will feature one of YOUR suggestions, so comment away! Don’t forget to check out all the products used in the video below.

Be Bold. Be Beautiful.
