Show Me Your Closet

You've probably done this before curvy divas, borrowed a friend's makeup brush to put on your makeup, or to correct a makeup flaw...or even to cover a pimple?  I had a bit of a shock when I read that for one woman, doing the latter caused her to be paralyzed!  Why?  Because the makeup brush she used to cover a pimple was not clean.  I can't tell you how often I've told my own daughters to be careful of using other friends makeup and even their makeup tools because it may not be safe.

Yes my curvy divas! Scotch tape!!!!   I blinked twice and had to read this very informative article by Christina Molina on Elle.com in their Hair & Beauty/Makeup section.  How good does that model look in the before and after picture below?

Go on over to the article linked below  the photo for the details and all the pictures!
