NEW: 11pc MAKEUP BRUSHES REVIEW







I bought these makeup brushes a few months ago from eBay after seeing them on Instagram and reading tons of reviews, I paid $12.98 for these brushes and not a penny more. I was excited about the price but very nervous about the quality.  The shipping was very fast considering they shipped out of china  got them in about a weeks time.  I have used these brushes over five times and washed them plenty so I could give a honest review.  These brushes are very soft and great to work with I really don't know what else to say other then honey go ahead and buy these and see for yourself.  Again you can find these on eBay search seller mrprince5555 he has other brushes as well.

Whats on My Face!




I created this look over the weekend using my new Shany Cosmetics loose powders,eye lashes and gel liners.  I love this look because its very wearable in your everyday look in my opinion this can be worn to work be simply doing a nude lip. You can also turn it into a evening/night time look by adding a dark lip.

 ON THE EYES:

I started by filling my brows in with a dark brown eyebrow pencil by MAC called spiked.  I then cleaned them up with my bh cosmetics concealer palette in medium. I used Urban decay primer potion all over my eye from the brow bone to the lid. I then placed the NYX shadow base in white on the lid area only. I used Macs shadow in the color Arena directly under my brow bone a a highligt. I then used Virgin,Naked and Buck from the Urban decay Naked palette as my transition colors.  I then placed #16 from the Shany cosmetics 40pc loose powder set on my lid.  I went over that with a yellow glitter and sealed it with ELF shadow sealer to set the glitter so it would not fall off. I then Lined my upper and lower lash with the shany gel liner in black. I used Shany cosmetics glitter lashes


ON THE FACE:

I used the L'Oreal true match foundation...set it with a cover girl pressed powder. For my highlight I used the bh cosmetics concealer palette in medium and set it with the Ben Nye setting powder in banana. I contoured with my bare minerals setting powder and on my cheeks I used a no name blush palette I got from amazon.


on my lips I have on MAC haute-core
&
I used Faux by MAC with a pink lip liner and pink gloss on top

I am so excited about these shadows honey...As you guys may know I am starting to get into the makeup industry by becoming a freelance makeup artist. So of course you can not be a makeup artist without a kit and great shadows. I think these shadows are great for beginners like my self who want to build a nice kit without spending thousands.  These shadows allow you to get great colors and quality work without breaking the bank.  I will say I did notice a few of the colors are repeats and I would have loved to get more deep colors vs repeats.  I also noticed that the colors pictured on the site are not what you actually get. For instance I thought I was getting a deep red color based off the picture on the website.  What I got was a pinky/purple color instead.  All in All I give Shany cosmetics four hearts out of 5 my money was well spent.



Excuse my hairy A** arm LMAO...I swatched a few of the colors to show you guys how pigmented these shadows are. These are the colors on plain skin no primer of base underneath them.  As you can see these shadows are very shimmery.

   I recently reviewed these gel liners on my YouTube channel where I talked about my experience using these liners.  These liners are very creamy and pigmented and you get a lot of product for your money.  All though I got these on sale at a good price Shany Cosmetics is very inexpensive so don't worry you can still get them a low cost.  I have only used the black liner as its intended purpose so far. I have been using them as eye shadow bases. The rich and creamy consistency of these liners make for a awesome base to help your shadows pop.



What looks like a red liner (pictured lower left corner) is actually a dark deep brown....and the gray liner (pictured lower right corner) is a very dark charcoal color


I swatched a few of the colors below so that you could see how pigmented and rich the colors are



These liners can be purchased from shanycosmetics.com
