When is Make Up TOO MUCH?

Firstly, let me say that in no way am I a pro MUA. The little that do know is from the advice of pros and also from reading articles online, books on makeup and watching tutorials.
Now let me tell you, brow stencils, ladies choose wisely because the shape of your brows does affect how your face looks overall. I have used stencils, get me wrong, but some people tend to overdo it with brow powder and never in a flattering color either. Don't let yourself look like a theatrical mask.
As for bronzer, unless you want to look like Rudolph, please do not apply bronzer to the tip of your nose. you will surely glow.  Yes, we all like high fashion looks, but some are best left to the runway. Learn about contouring and please pay attention to videos on Youtube about contouring.  I have viewed excellent posts by Petrilude if you are really interested in learning. Leave the sparkly cosmetics items out of your reach when contouring unless you want to look like a highly decorated mess.
An excellent kit that I have found is Smashbox Cosmetics Step By Step Contour Kit which contains a brush, a makeup cheat sheet and three colors: one highlighter, one contour powder and a bronzer. It retails for $45 and is available at

I am not affiliated with this company in any way, but I do love their products.
