Makeup Reviews and Tutorials

So, lately I have been binge watching makeup tutorials on youtube. This little hobby began maybe 6-8 months ago by watching MissChievous. Who by the way is amazing! She is my favorite so far.
Due to this, I've been thinking of actually doing my makeup. I've always worn eyeliner, mostly black liquid eyeliner. But thats about it. I've gone on and off with pressed foundation but I never liked the finish on my skin. And I've tried liquid foundation but can't seem to get a colour that matches my skin correctly.
So, I've done my research and I've signed up at MakeupAlley to read reviews on makeup brushes, makeup, face cleansers and the like. I've watched reviews from Youtubers on products. And I've decided to take the plunge into makeup, for serious.
I know I'm not ugly or anything and need to hide my face or anything. But I think it would be fun to learn how do makeup correctly. So in my blog I will tell you about my ventures in to makeup, makeup brushes, and the like and give you my opinion.

I started first on skincare. Because it doesn't matter how much makeup you buy if you don't take good care of your skin. And I absolutely feel in love with this product: Aveen Daily Complexion Moisturizer (I think this is the name). It has already started to smooth out my skin, my pores seemed to have shrunk some, and my face feels 10x better compared to using Clean & Clear moisturizer. By the way, both of these have salicylic acid in them. I use them because I have combination skin, some of my skin is oily/normal and then some is dry. So I need something that moisturizers and fights acne. If you need a lotion of this, I definately recommend Aveenos. It's amazing.

Anyways, I just thought to share the wealth. Youtube has alot of junk on it. But you can really find some great tutorials, reviews, and fun stuff to be had when it comes to makeup. Because if your just buying something without research, its even a bigger hit or miss.
