Rainbow eye makeup using Crown Brush

I created this rainbow makeup look using my 35 color smoke it out too palette from Crownbrush.

To begin I moisturized and applied their two new amazing primes HD Effects Primer and Hd Effect Under Eye Primer (by the way.. I'm in love with this product) , then I corrected my imperfections with the crown brush concealers, next I primed my eyes with the Chubby Eye Pencil in the color Blizzard.

For the cheeks I contoured and Highlighted with their Blush Bronze Illuminate palette.

For the lips I went for an ombre look I using the  Chubby Lip Pencil in Moraccan Bazaar and Nude Beach.

The eyes need it to be framed so I used the new eyeliner from crown called  Ultra Skinny Eye Marker (super easy and fun to use)

Last but not least of course my beautiful crown brushes as pictured.

I fell in love with crown loooooooong time ago because of their brushes, now they are much more than that and I still love it very much!

Here are some look I created with this palette:

Special effects or beauty ?? That is the question!

For so many years I've been dedicated to beauty makeup, and I'm great at it!

   

But for the past 3 years I've been playing around with special effect....... Oh how my heart is torn !
I've grown To love the special effects.

But they are those the say you can't do both, some argue that you have to choose you can do both because you would be better at one than the other!

I say if you love something you can grow to learn in every aspect of it..... I love makeup and I love every single part of makeup, I learn to love it so much that I got the passion to teach it, and I became very good at it, I love natural makeup, fantasy makeup, beauty makeup, special effects makeup and all others.. That to stay focused just 1 area it's like stooping the growth of my passion for art.

Well some people consider them hey beauty makeup artist, or a fashion makeup artist, or a special effects makeup artist etc etc etc... I consider I'm a specialist in all areas of makeup. If somebody is forcing you to choose, tell them that you can be great in all of them and that is the beauty of Art it has no rules. 

Besides how can I call myself a good teacher if I don't know everything is the world makeup.....
I couldn't ... But I could because I consider myself a master in all areas of makeup. Join me in my journey in all of the areas of makeup the world. Follow my work here on facebook , YouTube , twitter and  instagram @beautybyshaq, I hope you enjoy the journey.
