You have questions, we have answers!

Thank you for sending in some of your questions. Let's get right to it.

Question & Answers:

Q1:  "I have blue eyes and don't want to over do my eye shadow. What do I do with my eyeshadow to not downplay my blue eyes? Also, what is a good nude lip color ?" - Wendy Tesch

A1: Blue contacts (eyes) work great with warm tone eye shadows. Golds, brown, beige, yellow and orange looks great with blue because they are on the opposite end of the color wheel, so they compliment the blue. You could also go with green. They will make those baby blues really pop! 

For nude lips, find a warm tone liner and lipsticks just slightly darker then your tone lips. Then add a translucent lip gloss for shine. If you want to really go nude add a little concealer over the lipstick.

Q2: "How long is the shelf life of makeup products like eyeshadow? I never know when to replace them." - Krista Marino Orne

A2: By law all products have to have the tuna can symbol. Creams don't last near as long as dry products because cream products are more susceptible to bacteria. Foundations, liquid liners, mascara are examples of products that need to be replenished more than shadows. There are products out there to sanitize your dry powders. Or just make your own with (at least) 75% alchohol and spritz the top layer to kill any bacteria. That bacteria could cause itchy eyes.  

Q3:  "What do you recommend for under eye concealer, for older women, to prevent creasing in fine lines?" - Suzi Varela

A3- Any 'makeup artist' designed makeup line has great concealer: Makeup Forever, Bobby Brown, Smash Box, etc...

•The key to avoid creasing is using a finely graded loose powder and set the makeup. Really press the product it into the skin and brush off access. 

Q4: "I'm interested in enrolling for your Master Artistry course soon. I see the brushes are included; what about the makeup? Is there a certain brand to use?" - Amy Moreno

A4: At this time, we don't offer makeup kits with classes. I mainly use Makeup Forever products. Online, you can sign up to the Makeup Forever artist program and they will give you discounted starter kits. If you are in Vegas, go to Sephora on Las Vegas blvd. to Makeup Forever's pro store. The Artists there can help you put together a kit. 

Q5: "Which cosmetic stores offer their discounts once you're certified and which stores are best to start building my makeup kit?" - Anjy Boussy-Wehbe and Rachael Shaffer

A5: Click here for more information ( http://makeuponlinetraining.com/customer-service-2/pro-discounts/ ) Makeup Forever, MAC, Stila, Urban Decay, NYX, TEMPTU PRO, Smashbox.

•You can also get really great deals on makeup at beauty expos. IMATS is a great start. It's a great chance to play with the makeup and see what you like.
