Alright... so after my last post outlining some of my current favorite things, including a few new beauty products and one YouTube channel devoted to makeup tutorials - I contemplated doing a little makeup tutorial of my very own. I put the idea out there - and a few of you asked that I do it.
SO I did.
Because I love you.
Ask, and you shall recieve.
There were a lot of firsts that went into the making of this video.
It was the first time that I used the "video" feature on my Nikon D7000.
It was my new intern (and cameraman's) first day on the job!
It was the first time I showed my totally bare naked face on the WORLD WIDE WEB!
Stupid? or Ballsy? - I still haven't decided.
It was the first time I used iMovie to review/compress a video for uploading.
It was the first time I uploaded something to Vimeo in HD. Why on earth I chose to do a close up video of my FACE of all things in HD... Need to get my head checked (again).
So - in consideration of all of these firsts - and the fact that I'm certainly not some kind of professional makeup artist I would ask that you kindly overlook the following ::
- the chipped nailpolish as I hold up the products for a closer view
- the willy nilly focusing :) we had fun doing this and promise to get better!
- the little ankle biters that appear and attempt to derail the whole thing
- the text message "ding donging" of my phone
- the random blathering narrative :)
NOW that I have you utterly AMPED UP and beyond excited to watch - here's the before and after...
And the video link (approx. 15 min)
Technology. My B-F-frienemy.
Ok - go and take a look - then come on back and leave me a comment!
Be nice!
:)
It's telling me it's a "private video" and I don't have access to view it. :(

You are gorgeous, Katie! Thanks for the tutorial. I've never been too much into makeup and once I've become a mom, I just didn't have time for it. Since I've started working in an office 5 months ago (after being 8 years at home with kids!) I need to look more as a human and not as a zombie with dark circles under my eyes all the time. I love the soft tones you used and will definitely look for some of those products in the stores. Thank you!
