This is part two of the other video I posted on Tuesday. I turn the daytime/neutral look into something a little more (me!) dramatic. During recording the first video and this one I recorded a lip tutorial on how to perfect lip color, and decided to leave that color on to show how just changing something as simple as the lips can change the whole look. Then you also see how it looks with the more dramatic eye, which shows you can create a multitude of looks just by tweaking the products you already have on. Product list and photos after the jump.

Try it and have fun with it!

I’m asked at least 4 times minimum a week, “what products do you think I need to start a freelance kit?” What everyone needs is different. You will build your kit around what kind of makeup you do, and you’ll see what products you use more or less of as you start getting more into it. With that said.. This list is just a rough example of products that can be used to start a basic freelance makeup kit using MAC products.  Everything on this list will easily fit inside a MAC carry-all (11″ x 4″ x 6″) and a brush belt. Take into consideration that when everything is spread out on a list like this, it seems like a lot more than it really is. I also listed the finish (frost, matte, etc) and a breakdown of the color for everything on the list to help for those who are on more of a strict budget. If you can’t afford the products on the list, at least there is a little help on the color so you can find an alternative with any other cosmetic line. Hopefully this helps some of you!!

hard-core list after the jump!
