Now I am by no means an expert at makeup. I, just like thousands of other girls, go on YouTube and watch numerous tutorials over and over again until I can somehow "master" a certain makeup technique/look. I never really cared much for makeup before I started hosting events and having little stints on TV. For me, baby powder and brow powder was all I really needed (and I actually believe these should be staples in anyone's makeup kit). It's amazing how a few videos on YouTube can get a person hooked.
Finally deciding to up my makeup collection and really learn how to properly (and decently) apply makeup, I started saving up for makeup brushes. I never realized how EXPENSIVE they were until I started canvasing. P 1800 for an eyeshadow brush? P 2,800 for a powder brush? Synthetic vs real hair? Mac vs Sigma?
... wait REAL hair???? Ain't nobody got time fo that!!!
Luckily, due to my YouTube addiction (seriously, they need to put up some kind of rehab because I am speaking like a girl from a Youtube video on most days and I think my family and boyfriend are starting to "unsubscribe" to me if you know what I mean HAHA... Huhu :'( ) I came across a couple of brands that seemed reallllyyyyy good quality and were a fraction of the cost of a Mac or Sigma brushes.
Now if you don't care much for makeup or brushes, then you can skip this entry cause it'll just bore the pants right off of you. But if you're like me, and are looking to start making investments in the makeup department (parang bahay/big life decision lang noh? Haha) then hopefully this entry can help you. :)
