How to Dupe Eyeshadow

​In this post, I am going to be sharing the process of duping an eyeshadow. I got inspired to make this blog post after I saw the Viseart collaboration with Camara Ready Cosmetics. It is THE perfect neutral palette. If you did not know Viseart is a brand for makeup artists, their 12 pans are $80. Steep, but this brand you are paying for high-quality eyeshadow. I stand by that.

Handcrafting High-End Cosmetic Formulas

​In this post I am going to be reviewing the book, "Handcrafting High-end Cosmetic Formulas" from Paloma Sanchez. I am going to be giving an honest and in-depth review of the book.  I also want to make a disclaimer because I got her first course, she allowed people to get her physical book for free. That being said it does not change my opinion of the book. Once I make more formulas form the original course that she did I will do a review in that.  For this review I am going to organize it by how you will be looking at it when you first get it.
