Challenge ~ 1 Brush, 1 Palette... 2 Looks

Challenge!!
So my cousin Stephanie challenged me to do a look using ONE brush and ONE palette that contained 4 colours. Having a whole bunch of makeup brushes, for most people, isn't reality. They have just enough to get by so I thought this was a great challenge that would help a lot of makeup lovers out.
She chose for me to use a MAC 242 brush which is just a small and flat shader brush. It's a pretty typical brush that can be bought through any makeup brush line. It's one that most people will have on hand.
Also, only having 4 colours to work with was something that can work for anyone. You can buy palettes through many drugstore (and even high end) makeup brands that have 4 colours... so you can do this with ANY palette you have no matter the colours. The point of this tutorial wasn't about the colours themselves... it's about placement and how to use those 4 colours in 2 seperate ways.
I hope you guys like this and hope you will challenge yourselves to do this... even if you own a whole mess of brushes like I do ;) It's fun!

Products Used (MAC unless otherwise stated0

Omega e/s

Here are the two looks... in person they looked a lot more different but unfortunately didn't photograph as well as I hoped. Probably should have used colours instead of neutral shades but it's all good. The video shows all the steps :)

So here is a requested Holiday look for you folks that want a festive look with some colour but want a toned down look (or wearable look) to wear in front of your family or anyone else you may not want to wear a bold or smoky look around. It is really pretty with the gold, pinks and cranberry colours and would suit anyone! If you don't mind wearing more crazy looks around your family, then just deepen the cranberry and add more of a darker colour (like a dark purple or black) to your outter V to really amplify this look! Hope you are all trying out looks during this holiday season... tis' the season to be fabulous!! :D









Happy Holidays!!!
